Custom Homes for Sale at Lake Wylie, NC and SC

Charlotte NC Real Estate Waterfront at Lake Wylie is one of the premiere building sites in all of Charlotte for large custom homes.  Two neighborhoods in particular are
responsible for this reputation: The Palisades and The Sanctuary.
The Palisades is a one of a kind community, 17 miles south of
Charlotte.  Situated on a large pennisula on Lake Wylie, The
Palisades offers beautiful homes from $400,000 up to $3,000,000.
If the location and custom homes don’t convince you this is a special
community then take a look at the amenities.  There is a large
equestrian center on the north side of the community, a Nicklaus golf
course, a Tim Wilkinson Sports Complex for Tennis and Fitness, the
largest soccer club in Charlotte, and a large, vibrant boat club.

The Sanctuary is another of Lake Wylie’s custom home
communities.  Located on upper Lake Wylie, only 15 minutes from
uptown Charlotte or the Charlotte Airport The Sanctuary offers larger

northeast end of Lake Wylie, close to Charlotte.  The Palisades,
for its part, has a wide varity of amenities to offer to its
residents.

South Charlotte Homes For Sale and Appreciation Report

Beverly Crest- A South Charlotte Beauty

Antiquity in Cornelius- Bargain in Inventory

.

So we heard last month that the nationwide slowdown in housing has
finally caught up with Charlotte in the form of fewer sales in June,
with prices (thankfully) and year to date numbers still holding strong.
Over the next 2 weeks I’ll be posting about various South Charlotte Zip
Codes to see how they are faring. This week I’m looking at South West
Charlotte, zip code 28278, one of the fastest growing zip’s in
Charlotte, and a couple of popular new home communities. All of the
numbers are taken from the Charlotte MLS, and are believed to be
reliable but not guaranteed. Builders do not list every home, therefore
every sale is not listed either, and 28278 is all about the new home
market. Still the numbers tell a story.

So healthy gains in units sold in 2007 (25% in July, 15% 3 mo
average) are somewhat offset by lower prices in 2007. This reflects the
substantial discounts being offered by new home builders- in particular
the national new home builders- over 2006 prices.
Berewick and the Palisades followed suit.
At Berewick reported sales were 50% higher than in 2006, with average
cost per square foot falling from 94 to 89.00/sf, a 5% drop.
At the Palisades, reported sales were 50% higher as well, with average
square foot costs falling form $244/sf in 2006 to $221/sf in 2007, a 9%
drop.
The drop in average square foot prices for the entire zip is a
reflection of the new home market which dominated 28278 which is
suffering sharper declines then the re-sale market.
So what conclusions should a buyer make if they like SW Charlotte? Well
SW Charlotte is a beautiful area of Charlotte and extremely convenient
to Uptown- the increased number of sales are proof of that, but what
would the wise buyer do?
1. Buy inventory only, and at a discount. Inventory are homes that are
ready now or will be ready within 90 days. Most builders will deal on
these, and in this market they would be foolish not to. Insist your
buyer agent (hopefully us!) make them an offer for 5-7% less than they
are asking. If there is no inventory, don’t buy there.
2. Buy in the lower to middle of the price ranges, avoiding the top
unless the prices are too good to pass up!
That’s all for now!

From time to time I’ll write about the extraordinary
in Charlotte–
It’s fitting my first community post is about Lake Wylie and The
Palisades in Charlotte, North Carolina.The whole Southwest Charlotte
corridor is bursting with growth- and I find myself being drawn more
and more to the water. After relaxing aboard a 28′ cabin cruiser in May
off and on for a week with friends on the Severn River in Annapolis, I
reached a state of mind not equalled since I was a child on the beach.
Getting on the water, or getting closer feels just right. So imagine my
surprise living in land-locked Charlotte to discover the resort style
living available at The Palisades!
Maybe you live in the Washington DC suburbs, NY City, Boston or some
other big city suburb; can you imagine a resort community on rolling
hills, less than 30 minutes to downtown, or in our case Uptown…with
home prices from the 400’s? You are just 5 minutes to the lake, 5
minutes to the first hole of a Jack Nicklaus course, 25 minutes to
watch the NFL Carolina Panthers on Sunday, and a 30-35 minute daily
commute the center of town, the Bank of America Tower. On foot, by
bike, or golf cart, you are just minutes to swimming, golf, tennis, an
equestrian center or soccer fields. As an Audubon Community, they’ve
artfully preserved green space and natural habitats so you are likely
to see deer, the occasional fox, and the plentiful hawk. And you’ll see
your neighbors too! This isn’t a retirement community, though retirees
live here. It’s an active, amenity rich environment, filled with both
nature and modern conveniences… Live in Charlotte, have all the
benefits of a major modern city in the South, go to professional
sports, the performing arts, world-class shopping- and almost be on
vacation at the same time–I am not kidding. Once shopping inside the
community is complete, it will be a self-contained walking community
where people will know their neighbors.
Prices start in the 400’s, custom homes in the 800’s– a total of 21
custom and production builders are here. There are 11 distinct
neighborhoods today, with another 5 openning this fall. Homearama
visited here in 2005, and will return in the fall of 2008 at The Ranch,
a collection of 1+ acre tracts with luxurious custom homes.
In my next Community post I’ll write about the Palisades Boat Club- a unique boating experience on Lake Wylie. I’ll also write about the country club, the Tim Wilkinson Tennis and Swim Club
and the exciting over 30 event this September which will feature Jim
Courier, Pete Sampras and Mats Wilander. Plus all the new shopping that
has come to Southwest Charlotte in the last year. For more information
