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.

Fort Mill has a new huge development project on the horizon

June 6, 2016 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

Fort Mill is undergoing quite a bit of development as 2,900 more homes and apartments are planned along Spratt Street and Fort Mill Parkway. John Spratt, who owns more than 700 acres at the site, presented a plan with partners on Wednesday night to the Fort Mill Town Council to add residential, commercial and recreational space in a new mixed use development there.

The hope is that such land development will be part of the solution to continue to develop and improve Fort Mill, and it will contribute to securing its future. The plan would take over approximately 688 acres along the bypass. The land there would be rezoned from light industrial to mixed use in the town. Another 23 acres currently zoned for residential use would be rezoned to mixed use. Then a development agreement would allow for up to 1,700 single-family homes, up to 1,200 “other residential” units, between 250,000 and 500,000 square feet of commercial space, more than 60 acres of park and recreation space, more than 60 acres of open space and approximately three acres to expand the nearby wastewater treatment plant.

The plan would not happen overnight, as a 20-year buildout is anticipated with the hopes of selling the land to a developer in early 2017. This huge and record-breaking development project could potentially bring about 900 more new residences than is currently provided by the Massey and Waterside subdivisions combined.

As a means for controlling traffic and a need for more schools with so many new residences, the planning commission is recommending to require at least 15% of the residences be age restricted to seniors.

Town Council will have the final say on the annexation of the land, the rezoning and development agreement at a public hearing expected to take place on June 13.

Previously proposed large residential projects met with opposition because rezoning without annexation would impact the town without providing tax revenue. This proposal, however, is different, as the largest part of the project is zoned light industrial, therefore not allowing for residential use. However, there is still some proposed zoning for residential development, which many are happy to see. Residents in particular are looking forward to more athletic field space as well as the opportunity for property owners to develop land how they see fit.

The plan still needs a little bit of tweaking, as well as approvals from Town Council and the public hearing. But all in all, it is looking good for Fort Mill.
