The weather has cooled a bit, but it’s still temperate for folks to get out and about. As per usual spring fever abounds, I know we feel it, and we expect our symptoms to increase in severity. There ain’t much better than spring around Lake Keowee!

Unless, of course, there is a problem. That problem will be a lack of inventory in many categories, unless all y’all help us out. Not just y’all, but ALL Y’ALL! We need more listings (hint: we always need more listings, but now we’re severely short of what we consider a normal market, making it a really good time for you to list your property!). We can come out and look at your Lake Keowee house or lot and give you an idea of the current value (it’s probably more than you think).

As I sit here writing this Lake Keowee Real Estate Expert Blog, the temperature is a balmy 79 degrees. That’s a Chamber of Commerce Day for us, especially since it’s February! I’m not foolish enough to think temps will stay like this for long as I expect us to see at least one or two more serious cold snaps prior to spring popping by and saying, “Hello, how’s the family?”. It does bring to mind the idea of spring, though, and the fact that now is the time to get your Lake Keowee real estate on the market!

We made it through the first snow we’ve seen around Lake Keowee in a number of years and the timing couldn’t have been better as it came in on Friday and was pretty much gone by Sunday granting us a white and fluffy weekend. If we’re going to have snow again this year, or ever again, let it come just like that, all of the beauty with very little of the pain. Looks like we’re going to continue with the freezing temperatures for a few more weeks, though. The sooner spring is underway, the happier I’ll be.

Fantastic setting around Lake Keowee with the sun shimmering and the leaves responding! It’s hard to imagine a more beautiful scene. Halloween is behind us and Thanksgiving is just over a couple weeks away. Isn’t it hard to believe? It’ll be 2025 before I finish writing thi…….…

We did get us a Lake Keowee waterfront lot closed last week. Always good news to have some activity. There are currently 11 Lake Keowee houses under contract and 5 Lake Keowee lots under contract. We currently have 1 Lake Keowee waterfront side, and 3 Lake Keowee interior lot sides on our board to close. That’s not too bad for November in an election year but can always be better.

As stated above we are still seeing activity in all phases of Lake Keowee real estate. We were able to close a $1M+ dollar home last week and will be closing a Lake Keowee waterfront lot this week. Sounds like a fairly normal week here at Top Guns Realty. Just like for the last 26 years (as Top Guns and 36 years in real estate on Lake Keowee). There have been a lot of ups and downs, but we’ve been here for you guys for a long time. If we haven’t helped you yet, hopefully it’ll be soon!

Business must go on and we had to do lots of business before ,during and after the storm as listings, under contract homes, rental properties etc. had trees down all around. Getting folks here, there and everywhere while trying to reschedule closings, inspections, etc. It’s been quite the busy week. We did close a Lake Keowee waterfront home, but not a lot of tour activity going on currently. We expect it to get back to normal soon. 

Find a charity, give what you can. There are a lot of people in need of help. Looks like there will be a lot more folks in need of help in the mid Florida area, as well. Just have to keep pushing forward!

Over the past week, we’ve had some encouraging property tours resulting in one Lake Keowee waterfront home going under contract, so far. We looked at an interesting house that we expect to put on the market in a couple of weeks as well. All in all, another notable week, with the expectation that the theme will continue. There are buyers in the market and some sellers are putting their properties on the market at a steady pace. It would be nice for those buyers to have a few more choices, hint…hint.

Tough Labor Day Weekend for the Clemson, Florida State and Virginia Tech fans around Lake Keowee. You Georgia fans are feeling frisky again, congratulations your team looked dominate on the field. Hopefully, Clemson will get another chance in a couple of months. You just never know. What does this have to do with Lake Keowee real estate? Nothing really, just put me in a bad mood and I’ve got to talk about it with somebody.
