New Development on the Horizon

September 17, 2020 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

A new development is in the works on Lake Wylie and Little Allison Creek. The proposed project is being put together by Fielding Homes which is a local builder working in the Fort Mill and Lake Wylie areas. Their previous projects include Mason’s Bend and Paddler’s Cove just to name a few.

The new project is called Lakeside Glen and the plans show that it will be a 425-lot single-family residential project. The site sits on 305.7 acres located between Highway 274 and Allison Creek Road.

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.

There are not many more details available at this time so we still don’t know the size or price range of the homes yet. The York County Planning Commission will continue to work with Fielding Homes as this project comes to fruition.

To learn more about this new development, call us at 803-831-8588. Visit our website LKWRealty.com to learn more about Lake Wylie and to view current listings and create custom searches of available homes.

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.

Serenity on Woody Point

October 31, 2019 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

Have you dreamed about having your own private retreat on Lake Wylie? If you have, there is an amazing opportunity right now to own 4.8 acres with lake frontage that includes two cabins. You can use the property as-is, or you can turn it into your dream home either keeping the existing structures or bringing them down to create your ultimate lake dream home. There is a chance to own the entire 4.8 acres, or just a portion of the property.

This amazing spot is right at the end of Woody Point Road on the North Carolina side of the lake. The address is technically Steele Creek, a booming area which had added many options for shopping, dining, employment, entertainment, and fitness recently. From this point, it takes around 20 minutes to get to the Charlotte Douglas International Airport, and just under 30 minutes to get into Uptown Charlotte. This property is close to Shopton Road which will connect you quickly to all of the services you will need including highway access. You truly have the best of both worlds with the city close, but you can live the slower lake lifestyle.

The lake access for the property is off the main channel so you don’t have to worry about too much boat traffic. This truly makes this a serene retreat perfect for family gatherings, or just relaxing in a hammock and enjoying the view. The property features expansive views of the lake as well as having a lot of wooded acreage affording privacy and homes for local wildlife.

There are two different MLS listings for this amazing property, to view each of the listings, click here and here.

Neighborhood Spotlight: Liberty Hill

September 4, 2019 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

After a beautiful Labor Day weekend, many of us are ready to sell out homes and move to the Lake. That relaxed lifestyle is even more tempting so you can keep that laid-back feeling all year round. If that’s your goal, Liberty Hill is the place for you.

Located off of Handsmill Highway south of Highway 49, Liberty Hill is close to the heart of Lake Wylie, but far enough away to seem secluded. To the North, near the Buster Boyd Bridge you will find shopping, dining, and entertainment. There are restaurants on the water to enjoy the view, or you can drive your boat up and dock. Just across the Bridge, you’ll find additional options at Rivergate. You can tour Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens or McDowell Nature Preserve just a few minutes away. For the commuting folks, Uptown Charlotte isn’t far, and for work or pleasure, Charlotte Douglas International Airport is close as well.

Liberty Hill is popular because it has no HOA, is zoned for desirable and award winning Clover schools, and has lower South Carolina taxes. In fact, homes in Liberty Hill don’t come on the market often at all. In the last year, only two homes sold in the entire neighborhood. Currently there are three homes on the market with one of them already under contract. Waterfront homes command a premium, but non-waterfront homes still have large lots and many have water views.

Many of the homes in Liberty Hill were custom built around 2007. They have large lots, all over an acre, but some over 3 acres in size. This affords plenty of privacy as well as space for outdoor living. Many homes have pools, decks, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, sports courts, and more. Homes are grand in scale with most homes over 3,000 square feet. The three current listings are all over 6,000 square feet of living space.

If you are interested in a private tour of homes in Liberty Hill, call us at 803-831-8588 to schedule with us. To view current listings and create custom searches, click here to view our website.

State of the Housing in the Charlotte Market by UNCC

February 28, 2019 by David McCorkle Leave a Comment

A comprehensive report issued last week by the Childress Klein Center for Real Estate (CKCRE) at UNC Charlotte offered a sobering picture of the State of Housing in the eight-county Charlotte Region. Using a wide range of housing data from 2010 – 2017, the report concludes that our region is woefully under-producing both for-sale and rental housing, leading to a growing affordability crisis that is most directly impacting middle-income families.
