3 Reasons To Sell Your South Side Home Today

The South Side of Smith Mountain Lake is in demand with buyers appreciating the “quieter” side of the lake. We have a lot of interest from people looking to relocate from out of the area as well as retirees seeking a great location to retire to. If you are a seller who has been sitting on the sidelines thinking about selling, now is the time to enter the SML real estate market!

1. Strong Market for Waterfront Homes

Over the past two years we have seen the average sales price of waterfront homes increase over 8 percent and the number of waterfront sales has also risen. In fact between Union Hall and Penhook 46 waterfront homes were sold in 2013 alone.

As of February 1st, 2014 there were 49 properties currently listed (this roughly equates to 12 months worth of inventory).

2. Luxury Real Estate is in Demand

The local housing inventory did decline last year as we saw a grand total of 316 homes sold in the SML area (including the 46 mentioned above). We also experienced the best numbers of real estate sales here locally since 2006 and luxury real estate is no different, homes are also experiencing less time on the market which means a quicker sale.

The percentage of potential home buyers looking to purchase a new home within the next six months is the highest it has been since back in 2000. – The Conference Board

The spring buyer season is quickly approaching and we have already been getting inundated with calls from buyers looking for the perfect property. If you have been thinking about listing your SML property- now is the time to make the move! One recent study by The Conference Board found that the percentage of potential home buyers looking to purchase a new home within the next six months is the highest it has been since back in 2000.
