This project has been in the works for some time, with a preliminary plat originally filed in March of 2015. There have been changes and revisions since the original filing, the most notable has been increasing of minimum lot size.

August Market Report

September 15, 2020 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the game for the real estate market in recent months. The monthly numbers from the Canopy Realtor Association report on the Canopy Multiple Listing Service is out and we have the details.

If you look at the entire Charlotte Region, which includes 12 counties in North Carolina and 4 counties in South Carolina, you see that prices are up, homes are selling quickly and that there are fewer homes on the market.

When you look just at the Lake Wylie area, you see that prices are up, homes are selling quickly, and that there are fewer homes on the market. This is the same trend that is holding true.

In August of last year, there were 427 homes for sale in the Lake Wylie area. This year there are only 190, a decrease of 55.5%.

Homes are going under contract in an average of 45 days, 12 days quicker than last year. The average home is sold 100 days after it is listed, down 8 days from last year.

Prices are up as well, the average list price of a home in Lake Wylie is $456,073, up 9.1% from last August. Sales prices are also up, 5.4% to an average of $432,606.

There are 23.3% more pending sales this year than last year which means that we should have strong sales figures for next month as many of these sales close. There were also 25% more new listings this August showing that we should see many of those homes go under contract to keep the numbers strong for the next few months. Colder weather usually slows the market down, but we may see that happen later than usual since the spring bump was pushed to the summer.

Join the Lake Life

June 11, 2020 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

What better gift can you give your dad this Father’s Day than a new home on Lake Wylie? There are so many to choose from at all different price points. What better way to escape the heat than to join the many people who already enjoy the lake lifestyle?

So, you’ve decided to become a homeowner. What’s the next step? You need a Realtor to help you through the process. They are trained professionals who work just for you to walk you through the largest single investment you will probably make in your lifetime.

The first step they will help you through is to get pre-qualified for a loan. This process can be time consuming as you need to provide documentation of your finances to your loan originator. This will include information about your employment, your bank records, and outstanding debts. This will help you know how much home you can afford.

When you have this information, it is time to circle back with your Realtor to start looking for homes. This will initially be done with a search engine like this one here. Your Realtor has even more search parameters they can set up for you in a custom search so they can narrow down your prospective homes.

Once you have narrowed your search, it is time to go and see the homes in person. It can be hard to tell from photos what the feel of a home is, be sure to pay particular attention to the neighborhood, the location of amenities, the distance to shops and entertainment. It’s a good idea to view the home at different times of day to see traffic to and from work.

The next step is to choose the home of your dreams and work with your Realtor to craft an offer. There could be a few rounds of negotiations, or it could be a done deal the first time. It all depends on how many other people are vying for the same home.

When you have an accepted offer, you need to schedule to have the home inspected to make sure there are no outstanding maintenance issues. If there are, this is time for another round of negotiations where the seller will either fix issues or give you money to compensate you for repairs you will have to do once you own the home.

The next steps are all about getting your loan in order. You will need to provide further documentation to your loan originator, then once all of the paperwork is done, you head to the closing table. You will sign paperwork and the home is yours. Get ready to jump into Lake Wylie as you become the newest resident.

If you are ready to get the process started, give us a call at 803-831-8588. You can view current listings and create custom searches on our website here.

September Market Report

October 12, 2019 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

Lake Homes Realty, an Alabama-based firm has ranked Lake Wylie the fifth-largest lake market from the 100-plus Multiple Listing Services they reported on. According to their report, the value of homes listed for sale, based on data for three months ending August 14th, was over $455 million. There were 1,082 homes available, which ranked Lake Wylie number 3. Their report only looked at homes and land that were adjacent to a lake, included a water view, lake access, or were in a lake-focused neighborhood. This could mean that neighborhoods that were not on the lake, but were considered by consumers to be lake listings were included as well.

When you look at the numbers from the most recent report from the Charlotte Regional Realtor Association’s Multiple Listing Service report, you find that the Lake Wylie region is humming along quite nicely. Almost category was up from the year before. Supply of homes was down to just a 3.2 month supply of homes, getting closer to the 2.2 month supply for the entire Charlotte region. This is not surprising given the general trend of lack of supply that has been plaguing the area for some time. New listings have not been able to keep pace, and this in turn has pushed prices even higher.

Lake Wylie is still more affordable than Lake Norman where the average price for a home is $472,444, but the average price for a home sale in Lake Wylie has risen to $423,236. Rising prices may be pushing some buyers to lakes further away from Charlotte when looking for their dream home or second home. However, there are still affordable options in Lake Wylie.

Pending sales were up 96.9% year over year and new listings were up 44.9% showing that for the next few months at least the market will continue to be strong. Closed sales were up 14% year over year and are up 12.8% year-to-date.
