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!

Yet another good week as we were able to add one contract and start working on another offer. Hopefully, both will go off without a hitch (who am I kidding, there is always a hitch). We’ve also bee on a couple of listing presentations as folks realize the cold weather won’t last forever. Have you realized this? Soon, you’re going to be thinking, “man, I should already have had my Lake Keowee waterfront property on the market.” Well, let this serve as your Lake Keowee real estate listing alarm…DON’T PUSH SNOOZE.

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.

With rain, cold weather, holidays and winter the Lake Keowee real estate market is a bit slower this time of year. It does look like we’re closing in on our 3rd best year ever with a volume just short of $30M for the year. We’re still working on getting a couple of new listings to add to the stable, having a few in the pipeline in various stages of preparedness. We also have some good ones in inventory that are receiving good scrutiny. It’d be fantastic to get several more good ones to set us up for a second or first best year for 2025.

You potential sellers need to make the dreams of the buyers come true! Maybe you have to leave our beautiful area or better yet, you want to buy an even nicer piece of Lake Keowee property. You’ve got to make that happen and we can help!

Back to the actual reason you are here; Lake Keowee real estate. Another excellent week for Top Guns Realty, Inc., as we’ve been able to put 2 Lake Keowee waterfront lots under contract as well as closing a Lake Keowee interior lot. We currently have all of the waterfront lots that are dock-able between $300,000 and $500,000 in the MLS listed (5 properties). If you want one of those, we’re here to help (these very well may be the last ones you see on the market in this price range for the foreseeable future)

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…….…

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!

We’ve had another good week closing on over a million dollars in Lake Keowee real estate, locking down a new Keowee Key listing and meeting some folks to talk about listing their house in the morning. We’ve got a couple of good Lake Keowee waterfront lot tours scheduled, as well. Before too much longer it’ll be cold for realz and activity will slow (fo reel fo reel).

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!
