Fort Mill furthers commercial development plans

July 24, 2016 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

The Fort Mill Town Council recently approved the first of two readings that will allow the town to move forward with commercial projects that would occupy more than 40 acres, adding a significant amount of new commercial tax revenue within town limits.

Two projects are in the works—a medical building at Tom Hall Street and Fort Mill Parkway, and an assisted living facility, Haire Village, that will be located on Haire Road.

Both projects will have a commercial tax rate, which is higher then a residential tax rate and will therefore help to offset the cost of providing public services. Neither business anticipates adding to the rush-hour traffic, so residents and roadways should not be inconvenienced by these new buildings.

The future site of the medical building is currently a county-run trash and recycling collection center, which will close, pending the property sale to Carolinas Healthcare.

The Haire Village assisted living facility would have approximately 200 age-restricted units as well as anywhere from 10,000 to 36,000 square feet of retail and office space.

Furthermore, the Fort Mill Town Council also approved plans for a wastewater plant improvement contract of $8.1 million. Another plan was also approved for an engineering design that will increase the wastewater treatment facility’s capacity to 6 million gallons per day. This is a major step in planning for community growth in Fort Mill.

June’s numbers reflect a steady drop in inventory

July 24, 2016 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

A sellers market continues to prevail in Lake Wylie as well as in the entire Carolina MLS area. June’s market update from the Charlotte Regional Realtor Association indicates a massive drop in the month’s supply of inventory, down 31.8 percent from the 2015 June numbers. There was also an 8 percent increase in the average sales price of homes, and an increase in sales price is a typical result of low inventory. Furthermore, the median sales price of homes has been steadily on the rise since 2012 and the trend is continuing.

Fort Mill’s inventory is also down from June of the previous year, however only by 13 percent. Lake Wylie’s inventory is down 29 percent, and York County’s inventory as a whole is down 28.9 percent.

Closed sales in York County, Lake Wylie, Fort Mill and the entire Carolina MLS area were down for June. However, Lake Wylie saw a lot of activity last month, with pending sales up over 52 percent from the year prior. Fort Mill’s pending sales were up over 34 percent , and York County’s pending sales were up 32 percent. There was definitely a lot more action in June 2016 than there was in June 2015, also indicating a strong seller’s market.

With strong sales as well as a steady drop in inventory in the region, the average sales price continues to rise and sellers are seeming to have the upper hand.

June’s regional stats are fairly indicative of national real estate numbers. Inventory is low in many major markets across the country and housing prices are climbing.

Stay tuned for next month’s market update and a look at the region’s trends.

The owner of the Knife Shop unfortunately passed away earlier this year, thus the store is closed and not reopening. Dave’s Comics is still open and has not received notice of needing to vacate, however the store’s s website discusses closing and talks about a new comic book store that will be potentially opening nearby.
