Market report: Waterfront sales

October 2, 2016 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

Let’s take a look at the year-to-date numbers for waterfront properties in and around the Lake Wylie area.

With the first three quarters of the year under our belt, the housing market, and particularly waterfront sales, are looking good for Lake Wylie and the surrounding region.

Year-over-year numbers indicate that the average number of homes sold per month are up, with 105 homes sold so far in 2016 (approximately 12 homes sold per month) as compared with only 91 homes sold through the third quarter in 2015 (approximately 10 homes sold per month).

Furthermore, the average list price has increased from $548,000 in 2015 to $608,000 in 2016, the average sales price has increased from $525,000 in 2015 to $580,000 in 2016, and the average price per square foot has increased from $172 in 2015 to $190 in 2016.

Even though the current number of waterfront homes on the market, 130 to be exact, represents 10.8 months of inventory which would be considered a buyer’s market, the year-over-year numbers reveal positive trends for sellers. Plus, based on what is on the market now in Lake Wylie and the surrounding region, the average price per square foot is $221 and the average list price is $875,000, and both of these numbers are notably higher than last year’s numbers at this time.

In the first three quarters of 2015, homes spent an average of 124 days on the market, and in 2016 homes spent an average of 142 days on the market, indicating slightly less activity this year and a sign that buyers may have the upper hand now.

So, while, inventory points to favoring the buyers, other stats are looking favorable for sellers. It’s a win-win!
