More lots for sale in Lexington SC

Last month I wrote about the 382 lots in zip code 29072 which were for sale on Realtor.com. Today I was surprised to see that about 5 weeks later, the number has jumped by 80 to 462 pieces of land for sale. That's a 21% increase. I believe the new lots of Kingston Harbour which were recently listed have caused most of the jump. Let's take a look at all of these lots in further detail.

The least expensive lot is $29,500 for 0.23 acres located at 504 1/2 Harmon Street in the Town of Lexington. The most expensive is $2,827,000 for 6.49 acres located at 1563 Corley Mill Road - most likely a commercial-zoned property. The median priced lot is $103,840 for 0.24 acres located at lot 14 of Cherokee Shores Phase II.

FSBO in Lexington SC 29072

While I have written about the number of homes listed for sale by realtors in Lexington SC 29072, there are also a number of them as FSBO (for sale by owner). These sometimes are a little more difficult to find. Here a few ways to search for them:

• InfoTube.net
• ForSaleByOwner.com
• Columbia Craigslist
• House Hunter
• HomesByOwner.com

And sometimes it's best to just get in your car and drive around the neighborhoods that you're interested in. The only advertising the seller may be doing is a sign in their yard!

Occasionally, you'll find a FSBO home where the seller has created a web site that gives much more detail than you'll find with most realtor listed houses. Here is an example of a home currently for sale by owner in Lexington, SC 29072:

This is an 1,100 square foot home located at 113 Woodland Drive in the center of Lexington priced at $115,000. You can see all the details and additional pictures at http://www.113woodland.com/.

Lake Murray Water Levels

Lake Murray is in the back yard of many residents in Lexington, SC 29072. And many others make it their playground for swimming, fishing, boating, etc. In recent years, the lake's water level has fluctuated a good bit. Most of this was due to SCE&G's Backup Dam project, but more recently the water shortage was just a result of the low rain levels at the rivers which feed into the lake. The lake is considered "full" at 360'. As of today, the current lake level is about 357'.


You can keep track of Lake Murray's water level at SCE&G's Lake Murray page or, for a more detailed analysis, at U.S. Geological Survey where you can see both current and historical data on the lake.

About that map...

In the midst of updating the layout of this blog, I did a short post on the new Lexington SC Neighborhood Map on JustLexington.com. I want to explain a little more about what this is.

Using Google Maps, the neighborhood map has a blue "placemark" positioned on the map at approximately the entrance of each neighborhood within zip code 29072. There are almost 200 of these blue placemarks. At first glance, it may be overwhelming to see that many of them in the initial zoomed out view. However, when you click on a placemark, a balloon caption appears identifying the neighborhood. The link within the caption takes you to that neighborhood's specific JustLexington.com page.

Also, if you double-click on the map or click the "+" button to zoom in, this will give you a tighter view to see exactly where each placemark is in relation to one another.

The "Sat" button will give you a satellite view which is a unique way of seeing how a neighborhood is laid out.
