Lake Wylie New Large Projects Underway 3/2022

March 21, 2022 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

Charlotte City Council will meet tonight to discuss rezoning of many properties, but the two largest projects are both in the Lake Wylie area. It could be exciting to have new large projects in the area, but it can also cause traffic so many residents have mixed feelings about these big projects.

The first project up for a vote by the City Council is also the largest. At 184.9 acres, this Steele Creek project is expected to be approved as the Zoning Committee approved it with a vote of 7-0 in favor. The petition for rezoning was filed by Steele Creek, LLC and involves property just south of I-485 and east of Steele Creek Road. Based on the filing, developers want a mixed use development with homes, offices, retail, and greenspace.

The next project before City Council is 102 acres located north of Mount Holly Road east of the Catawba River. This rezoning petition was filed by DHIC, LLC and Reventure Park Investments North, LLC. The proposed zoning change would make the land suitable for mixed-use, and innovation. The builders plans outline townhomes, apartments, community amenities, and a community boat dock. Staff recommendation is to approve the petition as long as transportation, environmental and site and building design issues are resolved.

Both projects have to go through the zoning approval process before they can get plans approved and break ground. It could be some time before units are available for sale or rent, but we will keep our eyes on the projects.

New Homes Set for Final OK in Gastonia 3/2022

March 21, 2022 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

When a new development is proposed in Gastonia, it has a few milestones to meet before construction can begin. A new project in the area is now one step closer to becoming a reality. The project is being put together by an Arizona-based real estate company called Suncrest Real Estate and Land.

The plan calls for more than 700 single-family homes, and 160 townhomes on 325 acres of former farmland, what used to be Howe Dairy Farm. The parcel is located off Neal Hawkins Road on the Southeast side of Gastonia near Martha Rivers Park.

The Gastonia Planning Commission met to discuss the proposition and have approved the plan. The next step is the final decision that will go before the Gastonia City Council. It is not a sure thing as there is some opposition to the plan. Some nearby residents are concerned about the potential impact to traffic in the area.

When opposition of this kind occurs, it can delay or stop a project, or City Council can decide to approve a project despite the opposition. Residents are most concerned about an increase of traffic on Neal Hawkins Road, so there could be a future city project to address any congestion that results. With the potential of over 860 new homes, that would be a substantial uptick in the number of cars on the surrounding roads.

The next step for developers is to appear before City Council at the April meeting. Council members will decide on the annexation and rezoning of the land at that time.

January 2022 Market Report – Greater Lake Wylie Area

February 17, 2022 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

As things are starting to return to normal on the Covid front, many people are wondering if everything else is going to return to normal as well. When we look at the real estate numbers for January, we can say that the real estate market is not quite normal yet. Prices are still much higher than expected and inventory is still close to an all time low.

When you look at the Canopy Realtor Association report for the entire Charlotte region for January, you see that prices are rising, inventory is low, and homes are selling quickly. Average sales prices are still over 100% of list price meaning that there are still bidding wars and some multiple offer situations happening. And this is typically the slowest part of the yearly cycle.

When you look at the numbers for Lake Wylie, you see that there were 69 homes on the market, down from 165 in January of 2021. Due to lack of supply, the pandemic, and a host of other factors, prices have risen to a median home price of $504,833. This is up 37.8% in only one year. Homes are selling for an average of 101.1% of list price and going under contract in an average of 25 days.

New listings, pending sales, and closed sales were all down in January when compared to the previous year. This indicates that many sellers are waiting for the typically busy spring season to list their homes. This strategy may backfire this year as interest rates are on the rise which can price many buyers out of the market. We may not see as many multiple offer situations if there is a flood of new listings and fewer buyers able to purchase them.

What this means for buyers is they need to bring more money to the table and be prepared for a little less competition for homes. What it means for sellers is they need to be ready for a sale to be quick, but maybe not as quick as last year. We are still seeing homes selling quickly and for sellers to insist on leasing the home back for a month or two after closing so they have time to purchase their next home. Both buyers and sellers need to be aware of this trend, so they can prepare.
