Is It Time to Sell Your Lake Home This Spring? Let’s Talk.

Spring is here—and with it comes warm weather, blooming flowers, and families returning to the lake for Easter and Spring Break traditions. For many second-homeowners, this is the season when lake houses come back to life. But for some, it’s also the time when a new question comes up:

“Is it time to sell?”

If you’ve found yourself using your lake property less and less—or if you're ready for a change—spring might be the perfect season to move. Whether your home is on Lake Keowee, Lake Hartwell, Lake Jocassee, or tucked away in one of the smaller mountain lakes (Lake Cherokee, Lake Chattooga, Whitewater Lake, Fiddlers Cove, Mountain Rest Lake, Lake Becky), there are buyers out there right now who are ready and waiting.

At Gwen Fowler Real Estate, Inc., we specialize in helping homeowners across the Upstate easily sell lake and mountain properties. And spring is one of the best times of year to list. Here's why:

???? Your home looks its best. Spring sunlight, green grass, and full lake levels make your property shine in photos and video. It’s the perfect season to showcase outdoor spaces, water access, and views.

???? Buyers are motivated. Families are visiting for Easter and spring break, and many decide it’s time to buy. Their goal? Find and close on a lake house before Memorial Day so that they can enjoy the whole summer season.

???? You have options. Want to sell now and use the proceeds for something new? Or maybe you’d prefer to enjoy one last summer before closing later in the year? We’ll build a plan around your timeline.

As a local broker with over 37 years of experience in Oconee County and surrounding areas, I know how to price, market, and present your property to the right audience. From staging tips to drone photography to Facebook and Google ads, I ensure your home stands out and reaches serious buyers, not just dreamers.

If you’ve considered selling, now is a great time to reach out. I’d be happy to give you a free property review and help you understand what your home might sell for today’s market. No pressure—just factual information from someone who lives and works full-time here in the lakes and mountains.

Let’s talk while the market is warming up and interest is high.
