Pandemic Organization

October 9, 2020 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

One trend that has emerged out of the Covid-19 pandemic is home organization. There are many books about organization, professionals you can hire, and there are shows on Netflix that will show you amazing before and after transformations. If you are bored in the pandemic, it may be worth a try to make your living space feel better.

Marie Kondo made a splash a few years ago with her KonMari method of home organization. She would have clients take out all of their items in a certain category and only keep the items that “sparked joy”. Her method became so popular that she has two bestselling books and a Netflix show.

A new show to hit the scene is The Home Edit. These two women garnered fame on Instagram for their way of making organization beautiful. They have very famous clients and now a Netflix show that can help you to get started on your space.

Organizing your home is a great thing to do for when you are living there, but it can be equally important when you are getting ready to sell. One of the benefits is making your home feel larger. When you declutter and organize your space feels better and shows better to a potential buyer.

If you are thinking about selling your home, give us a call at 803-831-8588 and we can help you come up with a plan to get your home looking its best so you can get top dollar.

Neighborhood Spotlight: The Landing

October 2, 2020 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

Right on the shores of Lake Wylie, you’ll find a serene neighborhood called The Landing. This great community is close to Charlotte, but has lower South Carolina taxes, and is in the top rated Clover school district. This should be enough to entice most people, but then you add on great amenities, community events, and wonderful homes and it’s no wonder these homes don’t last long on the market.

The homes in The Landing are estate style homes with large lots of at least a half acre and plenty of space. Many of the homes have over 3,000 square feet of living space and some have over 6,000 square feet. These homes were built in the early 2000’s and have open floorplans, home offices, and waterfront homes have docks and boathouses.

In addition to these amazing homes, there are great amenities in The Landing. There are 25 boat slips for residents without direct water access. There is also a neighborhood park, clubhouse, and pool. There are around 2 miles of paved walking trails and sidewalks encouraging residents to take advantage of the outdoors. There is a competitive swim team for the kids, and many community events throughout the year.

There are currently 7 homes on the market in The Landing representing 5.6 months of inventory, but of the seven four are already under contract. Typically having 5.6 months of inventory represents a balanced market between buyers and sellers, but with the broader trend of low inventory in the region, sellers may still have the upper hand in negotiations.

In the last year, homes sold for between $365,000 and $1,060,000. This shows the difference between a small interior home and a large waterfront home.

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.

More Parks on the Ballot

August 21, 2020 by lkw_df 2 Comments

When you head to the polls this fall, residents of Lake Wylie will vote on a new special tax district to help buy land that will create more parks in the area. The vote will decide if a special tax district will be created or not. This is similar to the decision already made where residents were taxed for the recreation park.

York County Council met and adopted a resolution to certify a public petition. The result of the resolution is that the new tax district will be up for a vote on the general election ballot in November.

Lake Wylie is one of the largest unincorporated places when you look at the population. This means that residents pay for improvement by themselves such as the special fire tax district which supports the Bethel Volunteer Fire Department. This kind of funding was also raised for Field Day Park which was funded in part by a county hospitality tax and a recreation tax district set up to support the park.

This new initiative will first establish if the Bethel/Lake Wylie Land Acquisition and Preservation Park District should be formed. The purpose would be to acquire property for conservation, green space, historic restoration, passive recreation and interactive community uses. A cap of $10 million for land acquisition and construction is part of the plan as is an annual expense cap of $500,000.

The 29,000 residents covered by the new tax district are in the same boundaries as the recreation tax area for Field Day Park. Many of these residents have been vocal for many years about a lack of common green space on the Lake. This is their chance to become advocates for the kind of community they want Lake Wylie to be in the future.

If you would like to join the community in Lake Wylie and have a say in this important legislation, give us a call at 803-831-8588 to schedule a private tour of homes. You can view current listings on our website here.
