Lake Wylie/Norman North or South Carolina purchase (Charlotte, Belmont: for sale, foreclosures)

[johnnyocc]

OK, My question, I am looking for a lake access 4+ BR home on Lake Wylie/Norman with excellent schools, what differences tax wise between counties and between north and south Carolina? I am retired and am not concerned with proximity to major city. I would like if possible a community clubhouse. I would like to keep within $400,000-$650,000 price range. Are there availability of foreclosures in lake front homes? Is there a broker that will allow me access to REO or foreclosure homes? I have seen on Zillow where homes that sold for $1,100,000 14 months ago just sold for $750,000 last month a rather large 7,094 sq/ft 4 BR 5 bath home on 15850 Feeny Ct. in Charlotte, this was not even a REO or foreclosure, so as much as I hear that values have not come down much, there is evidence that the market has slowed and will continue to do so. I do not mean to debate property values, I am just trying to make a purchase for the best price I can.
I also have a home for sale in Westchester County NY. Are there any companies that offer house swap opportunities?? Thanks to all that take the time to read and answer my question

Did you see my answer to your question on your other thread?

I am not familiar with any companies locally doing "home swapping", sorry.

You may want to check out Belmont in Gaston County (NC).

You will get a waterfront home in your price range on Lake Norman.Won't nec' be a foreclosure, but imagine there will be some available if you want a huge home.
You can access foreclosure listings online by subscribing to one of the foreclosure sites.

Try somerset at autumn cove in lake wylie. There are many homesites with docks from I think 200-300K and then you can build on top of that. Should easily be under 600K and the taxes are much cheaper.

Johnny, we have some nice lakefront homes for sale in your price range in our neighborhood on Lake Wylie.

Sunset Point. A residential community in Rock Hill, South Carolina.

You can probably get a bit more house on Lake Wylie than on Southern Lake Norman. Lake Norman is a good bit larger than Lake Wylie however so there is a bigger variation in the prices for lake front homes. You might save 50% by heading far north on the lake. I don't think there are many foreclosures on either lake.

Nobody is going to want to trade a house on lake front for one in Westchester county. There is still enough demand for lake front property where it's gonna be easier to sell it.
