York County is moving forward on the development fast track with plenty of new restaurant openings, grocery store openings and residential construction on the horizon in Lake Wylie and Fort Mill. There have been a lot of discussions between county staff and property developers with regard to what’s next.

A new single family subdivision is in the preliminary planning stages at SC 49 and Daimler Boulevard on more than 430 acres of land owned by Crescent Communities. Moreover, 5800 Charlotte Highway is a possible new site for a gas station, convenience store and used car lot.

Furthermore, Lakeside West Center will soon be home to a multi-tenant retail center at 429 Blucher Circle. A new restaurant could be joining the shopping plaza at 131 Evergreen Road, and a Captain D’s may go in at the Shoppes at the Landing. The Pleasant Road area of Fort Mill is also going to be home to a new German-based Lidl grocer.

As far as recreation is concerned, a new swim center is proposed for 3354 Highway 160 West on a seven-acre lot, and a gymnastics center is proposed for Maxwell Road off of Pleasant Road in Fort Mill on two and a half acres.

This new Morningstar Lake Wylie location may also include boat or vehicle parking that would be covered or screened.Located at 574 Nautical Drive, Morningstar is taking up a large portion of the 52 acres that make up the Shoppes at the Landing.

Heartland Dental is going to begin construction on a 5,500 square-foot office building, and Wylie Commons is approximately 9,000 square feet.

Lake Wylie had 4.4 months of inventory in April, with 367 homes on the market, whereas the same month a year prior had six months of inventory and 448 homes on the market. This 18 percent drop in homes for sale and 26 percent drop in months supply are significant. With less homes on the market and an increased demand, the sales price is driving up. Last  month’s average sales price was $345,297 with the median sales price locking in at $300,000. The 2015 numbers for the same month were $312,646 and $273,000, respectively, indicating approximately a ten percent increase year over year.

Last month’s number of new listings in Lake Wylie were up over 25 percent from last April’s numbers, perhaps indicating a shift in inventory.

On the contrary, as for the entire Carolina Multiple Listing Service region, there was very little change in the number of new listings from April of 2015 to April of 2016. However, there was a drastic drop in inventory (down 34.1 percent), with months supply dropping from 4.4 months to 2.9 months, and total homes on the market dropping from 14,330 to 10,513 (down 26.6 percent).

Mecklenburg County saw a similar percentage change in inventory and had only two months supply of homes for sale available in April. The market certainly seems to be favoring the sellers, but we will have to stay tuned to next month’s report to see where the numbers will lead.
