Lake Keowee Real Estate Blog Flood Gates

The indicators: web traffic, up! Houses sold in comparison to last year, up! Spring Break, up (as in over)! Inventory, up! The economy, um, well...up(ish)! As far as we can tell, the flood gates are bowed in the middle and about to burst open unleashing a torrent of buying and selling the likes we haven't witnessed around Lake Keowee in quite a few years, maybe. The deals are there, the buyers are there, we've just got to put more of them together and with weather like this it's bound to happen!

Lake Keowee Real Estate Blog Masters Week

Azaleas, one of the landmarks of the big golf tournament being held in nearby Augusta, Georgia this week, are a funny bit of foliage. For about 11 months and 2 weeks out of the year, they're a nondescript green leafy lumpy bush. But in early spring, they bloom with a myriad of bright pastel flowers that makes the wait more than worth it. This year's hilariously early spring, coupled with the almost nonexistent winter, has brought out the azaleas almost too soon, at least as far as The Masters and possibly the Pickens County Azalea Festival (April 21st) are concerned. Maybe they can just take a few polaroids.

Lake Keowee Real Estate Blog What Type Are You?

 A relatively unknown Beatle anecdote talks about the extreme differences in the personalities of the super-group's two primary song writers' John and Paul. John was a "take running jump into the deep end of the pool" type of guy while Paul would circle the pool a couple of times to discern the best possible location to ease his way into the water making as few ripples as possible. This was brought to mind when I finally relented to taking my kids to the lake for the first swim of the season. My kids are "Johns".

Lake Keowee Real Estate Blog March Maaaaadneeeesssss!!!

The weather is crazy, the foliage is insane, the basketball is (fill in synonym for "mad" here)...March on Lake Keowee is awesome! The temperatures are in the 80's at the moment but be mindful - the last few ice storms we've had were during March so don't go storing away that winter jacket for at least 72 hours  (confused? You can call me for a flow chart). Just don't think to hard about it, you'll go crazy, and start carrying your "THE END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH!" sign and digging a fallout shelter. Save your energy, recycle and start taking advantage of Lake Keowee instead, like it's summer even though it's spring and never was winter!

Lake Keowee Real Estate Blog Do You Want the Good News...

...or the Good News! The Fed (whoever that really is) in their most recent and punctiliously worded statement, offered "labor market conditions have improved further;   the unemployment rate declined notably in recent months but remains elevated." Stock purchases soared and buyers bought the likes we haven't seen throughout both markets in years!

Lake Keowee Real Estate Blog 30 degree Spring...That's Normal

I concede, I jumped the starter's pistol by proclaiming that spring had indeed arrived. The snowman on my front lawn agrees cold heartedly with this statement. Alright, there's no snowman outside but it did freeze last night. Never fear, heat misers, it'll be back in 60's today and tomorrow and the next day, etc, ad infinitum (almost).
 
But enough with the precocious joviality, on to grown-up topics. Let's peruse the significant figures (sig figs, if you will) that attest to the improved forecast for this year's projected sales growth:

Lake Keowee Real Estate Blog When Less is More

Since the blooms are starting to show themselves another 2 weeks earlier than last year when the blooms started to show themselves 2 weeks earlier than the previous year, I think we can go ahead and declare the entire winter season a thing of the past. Next year we'll have fall (including the secondary religiosity of college football) and bound directly into spring skipping the frigidness of winter altogether. Maybe skip the NBA season? One can dream can't one?

Lake Keowee Real Estate Blog Greece is the Word!

So Greece is saved from financial meltdown...again. Just like last week when the powers that be saved them from, uh, financial meltdown...again, and with the Greeks, the world. I think it's good news, better at least than what's coming out of Iran and Syria for the moment. And it's keeping our minds off of $4/gallon gas prices. Not sure where I'm heading with this, just venting I guess. Where does all the money go? The Bilderbergers?  The Skull and Bones'? The Tooth Fairy's 401k? Beyond the sun? As Nigel Tufnel once said, "Maybe it's best left unsolved." Ok, I'll wait here while you go Google Nigel Tufnel.

Lake Keowee Real Estate Blog Cowboy Up!

Even though this is the South and not the west, we feel justified in stealing that phrase and comfortable that the good 'ol boys from 'round these parts would have our back should some "cowboys" get their knickers in a knot...maybe that's just the Southern Pride (or moon shine) talking but it's time to "cowboy up" your Lake Keowee Real Estate just the same.

 
Why it's the phrase du jour is that now is the time to make certain your place is spotless if you're a Lake Keowee real estate seller. You need to be making your property sparkle so as to be picked above the rest. It's still relatively easy to trim bushes, shrubs, etc. and work on that lawn or thin that under brush on your Lake Keowee waterfront lot prior to spring's thaw (though the freezes have been few and far between this winter).

Lake Keowee Real Estate Blog Numbers Numbers and More Numbers

As a varsity math-lete, I feel the need to share my passion for number crunching. Sure, numbers can be manipulated to suggest almost anything you want them to but these facts/figures/aggregates/totals/digits/quantities/tallies (not bad synonym-ology for a numbers guy, huh?) tell no lies.
