If ever there was a time to take a closer look at a neighborhood, it’s now. While we are in the grips of this pandemic, people are spending more time dreaming about their perfect homes. We see the faults of our current homes and dream of a day when we can have a home free from those worries. This is a perfect time to revisit Bethelfields.

This beautiful neighborhood is located right on Lake Wylie. It offers all the benefits of small town living while being close enough to commute to the city. There is an amazing sense of community with amenities and events throughout the year for residents of all ages.

Amenities in Bethelfields include swimming pools, picnic tables, and walking trails. There is also storage for boats, trailers, and RV’s. And did we mention Lake Wylie?

Residents of Bethelfields enjoy lower South Carolina taxes and also pay no city taxes. With all of that value, they are still zoned for award winning Clover schools. This makes Bethelfields a great value for families with school aged children.

There are currently 6 homes on the market which represent six months of inventory. This means that there is currently a buyer’s market in the area which is rare during these pandemic times. For comparison, there is just 3.4 months of inventory for all of York County.

Homes sold for between $230,000 and $300,000 last year. Current listings range from $269,900 to $364,900 for 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom homes with around 2,300 to 3,000 square feet. Some of the homes even have 3 car garages.

June Market Report

July 14, 2020 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

The numbers have been published by Canopy Realtor Association based on the data from the Multiple Listing Service. This month we were not sure what the report would show, but we are cautiously optimistic based on what we saw.

When you dig into the data, you see that sellers are once again in the best position for real estate transactions as the supply of homes has hit a historic low of a 1.3 month supply. However, pending listings are 26.8% higher than last year at this time. Closed sales were down slightly, just 1.8%. With the number of pending listings headed towards the closing table, we expect the closed sales to be much higher next month.

When you get into the numbers for Lake Wylie, you see that the trend of the Charlotte area holds here as well. There are now just 182 homes on the market in Lake Wylie, down from 433 homes last June. This is a decline of 58%. It definitely places sellers in the power position in transactions.

With fewer homes on the market, you expect to see a rise in prices following the law of supply and demand, and that is exactly what we saw. The average sale price was up 7.4% from $395,494 last year up to $424,740 this year. List prices are trending higher as well up 21.7% to an average of $522,374.

It remains to be seen how the numbers will trend for the rest of the year. Seller confidence, buyer confidence and the health of the population will all play roles. As many parents are considering online learning, we may see more people move to larger homes with more property away from density. We may see a vaccine come on the market that allows things to head back towards normal. We will definitely have to wait and see.
