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

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).

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.

Slower weeks this time of year allow more opportunities for us to go over advertising, marketing systems, etc. We’re ever striving to create as many eyes as possible on our listings as well as getting as many people as possible to look at them in person. We’re also working hard to create buyer leads for other listings out there. It’s amazing how far we’ve come in 37 years. We were selling real estate on Lake Keowee when there was still such a thing as an actual printed multiple listing book. Yea, we’ve seen a lot of change while doing thousands of real estate transactions.

The rain and time of year have put a damper on Lake Keowee real estate activity as we’ve noticed a drop in calls over the past week. We were able to put a Lake Keowee waterfront lot under contract and we continue to see activity on our existing listings, but as to be expected much less than what we’d see in July.

October has been a great month for us as we’ve closed just shy of $9M in Lake Keowee waterfront real estate. It’d be great if November and December were as good, but folks just don’t buy as much Lake Keowee real estate this time of year as they do during the summer. That doesn’t mean there aren’t still buyers in the market. In fact there are quite a few looking for just the right property.

People are still looking and buying in earnest. Inventory remains low in many categories, and we need your help to fill that inventory up to appropriate levels. Now may be the perfect time for you to put your Lake Keowee property on the market. Give us a call, we can guide you through the decision-making process.

An exciting week for us here at Top Guns Realty, Inc (Mike and Matt Roach)! As we were able to close on a $1.5M dollar home and list $769K Lake Keowee waterfront lot 77 Harbor Point along with a $3M gem of 12 acres and a home at 236 Joe Jen Dr. (almost in downtown Seneca, but when you are on the property you’re a world away from everything!). Two incredible Lake Keowee waterfront properties. The 12 acres is a generational opportunity. Check out the link above to the web page we’ve created.
