We were able to list a Lake Keowee waterfront lot over the past week and will be closing on $8M in Lake Keowee waterfront real estate next week. Hopefully, we’ll add a couple of really neat Lake Keowee waterfront homes to the market, as well. It’s that time of year! Yes, it is!!

Another successful week adding a waterfront lot to the under-contract pile while also working on another contract and finalizing the details on a few new Lake Keowee home listings. It’s that time of year and folks are starting to think about making the most of their summers by owning a piece of Lake Keowee real estate. Obviously, there are a few headwinds out there with impending gas price shocks, etc., but we don’t believe they will have a major effect on springtime sales. 

Things have been hopping here at Lake Keowee real estate experts Mike and Matt Roach’s office. We’ve been able to add a couple of great listings back to the market, 236 Joe Jen & 308 Treetops, and are working on several more. Also, we’ve put two houses and 2 lots under contract. That’s more than $8M in Lake Keowee real estate in little more than a week! On the days it’s warm enough for the moss to grow under our feet, that ain’t happening.

Although it was pretty, it didn’t lead to a lot of Lake Keowee waterfront property activity. As most folks tend to shy away from looking at lake property during a snowstorm. It even delayed us getting a couple of properties on the market. We weren’t sitting on our hands, though, as the cell phone still works just fine when it snows. In real estate, you are always putting out little fires here and there

Around Lake Keowee, we bypassed the fun stuff and went straight to the un-fun stuff. Ice…it coats the trees and breaks limbs onto power lines and causes power outages. Currently our office is powerless, but fortunately we have power and internet service at home. I know how disappointed you’d be not to get this Lake Keowee real estate expert blog!

Well, the future ice/snow event hasn’t slowed us down yet as we were able to put a Lake Keowee waterfront lot under contract and are working diligently to put another tract of land under contract. We’re also putting the final touches on a couple of new listings we plan to put on the market soon (ice/snow could cause some delays there).

A good week as we were able to put a Lake Keowee waterfront home and lot under contract. That’s just shy of $2.5M in volume, we’ll take that on any winter week around Keowee regardless of the temperatures. We are also working on two new home listings we’ll be bringing on over the next few weeks. Folks are starting to think about getting their properties on the market around the March/April time frame in order to take full advantage of the spring selling season.

I’ll bet you’re dying to know how our week went. Well, not that exciting though we did put a Lake Keowee waterfront property under contract AND we’re getting a Lake Keowee waterfront house to sell…I take that back that is exciting! The percentage of folks actively pursuing purchase or sale of Keowee property this time of year is certainly lower and won’t perk up significantly until the March/April time frame BUT now is a great time to be shopping for that Keowee property for this very reason! The field is less crowded, just like shopping for Christmas presents in September.

Over the past week we were able to close on a Lake Keowee waterfront lot in the Riverstone community as well as sit down with a couple of folks to talk about the things they’ll need to do before getting their Lake Keowee property on the market. It’s a great time of year to make a list and check it twice (a list of things that you’ve put off around the house or that may need an upgrade to maximize your value when you sell). We can help you with that, giving you an idea of value and where you need to focus for maximum sale ability.

Believe it or not, there are still folks thinking about buying and selling Lake Keowee real estate. We’ve had a couple of tours this week and have closed one property so far with another set to close next week. Outside of that, things have slowed down as folks get into the holiday mood. We do expect to see a burst of activity before Christmas as folks have a bit more time to look at property, even though the hours of usable daylight may not comply.
