February 2025 Fort Mill, SC Housing Market Report:Prices, Sales, Inventory Trends Fort Mill median and average home sale prices saw a slight decline from the previous month but reached their highest levels compared with February 2024 and 2023. In Fort Mill, home sale prices ranged from under $200,000 to $1,350,000. The month-to-month decrease in average and median sale prices was likely influenced more by the mix of homes sold in February rather than by a drop in home values. Home sales in Fort Mill declined for the fourth consecutive month in February 2025 but remained steady year-over-year and exceeded levels from two years ago.  New listings rose 30.7% from the previous month and surged 83% compared to February 2024. The average days on the market increased by one day month-over-mont...

Support for the McKemey family and Connor continues to grow in the Tega Cay and Fort Mill community. And in some cases beyond our fair township borders. Many local citizens talk about Connor daily. For some the daily news or updates on his condition is a daily priority. Let me back up a bit and if you haven’t heard of the tragic McKemey storey here is a brief recap. Just before Christmas, Connor McKemey, 13, suffered second and third degree burns over 85 percent of his body and is currently in critical condition at the Joseph M. Still urn Center in Augusta, Georgia. Connor has undergone several surgeries and faces many more. Connor’s mother Karin suffered serious burns while trying to help Connor after an explosion in their outdoor fireplace. The interesting thing about this story is t...

  Is there good news with an existing home sales report headline like this? “Home Price Declines Worsen As We Enter the Fourth Quarter of 2008 According to the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices” Standard & Poor’s published a press release today called the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices for homes sales data through October 2008.

Last year, I'm sure most of you remember (if you are a resident of South Carolina), the residential property tax cut.  The decrease in your property taxes was offset by a 1 cent sales tax increase. Historically, the portion of this property tax has been the most consistent revenue stream for the state.  The portion of the property tax that was eliminated helped to support our school system and the sales tax increase was meant to replace the revenue from the property tax.   In addition, the tax for food in grocery stores was also eliminated. Dr. Keith Callicutt, Superintendent of the Fort Mill School District, spoke recently to the School Improvement Council at Orchard Park Elementary.  He explained how the tax cut, which was part of Act 388, is now affecting our school district.   Due t...

Fort Mill is a popular suburban choice, near by Charlotte NC, and is a town that has grown during the nationwide housing downturn. Fort Mill's many natural gifts- Lake Wylie in the west, the 2300 acre nature preserve that is the Ann Close Greenway, Springfield Golf course, plus its proximitiy to Charlotte, are it's underlying value anchors. Since a major road expansion of I-77 completed in 2006, and the lowering of property taxes in 2007, Fort Mill has boomed. Home values increased in 2007, and the first half of 2008. I wrote a complete report on my Charlotte Communities blog.

Looking for forecloses? Many investors and individual home buyers are taking advantage of the increasing number of foreclosures hitting the market. And there are other advantages to finding and buying a foreclosed home. Homebuyers and investors can now take advantage of a $7,500 one-year tax credit with the purchase of foreclosure properties from April 9, 2008, to July 1, 2009. The York County SC area including Fort Mill, Tega Cay, Lake Wylie, Rock Hill has not had many foreclosures in the past but that trend looks like it might be changing. Now might be the best time to look for and buy a foreclosed home. How do you find foreclosed homes? TO READ MORE GO TO HOMESFORTMILL.COM Click here to search foreclosure listings.

Should I buy or sell a home now? If you are thinking about selling or buying a home right now you obviously have to be wondering how today's economy, interest rates and local real estate market will affect your bottom line. There is not one answer for everyone, and as when any of us invest in the stock market, it is the long term return that should be our focus. If you are thinking about buying a home now every investor and real estate analyst has stated that this is absolutely the best time. As with most markets, Fort Mill and Tega Cay SC are considered to be a "buyers market". What does a "buyers market" mean?. It means that buyers are in the driver's seat. There are a good number of homes on the market which gives you plenty of available inventory to see and choose from. Depending o...

I see many inquiries coming into Carmen’s blog asking for the distance between Charlotte North Carolina and Fort Mill South Carolina. As you may have read in Carmen’s market research posts (Fort Mill SC Rank 6 Out Of Ten Fastest Growing Metros), the Fort Mill and Tega Cay area is part of the Charlotte NC MSA (metropolitan statistical area) for census and other analysis basis. I guess you could say Fort Mill and Tega Cay are close enough to be considered suburbs of Charlotte. So here are the distance and drive time facts related to the distance between Charlotte and Fort Mill. Fort Mill is located south of Charlotte of interstate 77. The North Carolina and South Carolina northern border on interstate 77 is 7.8 miles or 15 minutes drive time from downtown Fort Mill. The western NC/SC bord...

Jenny Overman staff reporter with the Fort Mill Times wrote an article on August5, 2008 about how you can learn a lot about places and people on YouTube.com. Her article points out there are several videos on or about our area like Tega Cay, Fort Mill, and Indian Land. Jenny said local residents are using YouTube to post videos for entertainment, make political statements, and business. She did a YouTube search for Tega Cay and came up with more than 15 real estate videos. Of course Carmen has all of her home for sale videos posted on YouTube so Jenny called Carmen for an interview and printed the following quote: Carmen Miller, with Century 21 First Choice, uses YouTube to appeal to "Generation Y," she said."We figured that over 80 percent of home buyers use the Internet and the big bu...

Born and raised in a small town in South Carolina, my parents raised me on proper etiquette with high moral standards and the determination to set goals for myself and strive to achieve them. Growing up, I was just like any other young boy, eager to play sports and superhero saving the day with big dreams of one day becoming a professional basketball player although height would later play a disadvantage in that dream.I was blessed enough to be raised by two loving parents who came from good Christian homes and raised my sister and myself in a God centered home. Growing up I was active in the church and later became president of my Sunday School class and participated in such missions as Salkehatchie which is a Methodist version of Habitate for Humanity where for a week, teens would hel...
