York County’s priciest home sale this year is part of a trend. See where it’s happening
York County’s most expensive home sale this year, and more than a dozen other homes that sold for seven-figure prices, continue a trend. High-dollar deals are all about housing.
A nearly 7,000-square-foot Bessbrook Road home in Fort Mill, on Lake Wylie just north of Tega Cay, sold on Sept. 4 for more than $3.4 million. That’s the most expensive home sale in the Rock Hill region since a deal last summer for a River Oaks Drive home on Lake Wylie, at almost $3.7 million.
A Mallard Point Drive home in Lake Wylie is the only other one to sell for $3 million or more this year, or last year. It sold in January for an even $3 million.
During the past few years, many of the million-dollar transactions have been large industrial sites, apartment complexes or retail centers.
Last year the number of homes selling for $1 million or more began to increase. Fort Mill, Lake Wylie and Indian Land now routinely have homes sell at that price point.
In September, there were 17 homes across York and Lancaster County that sold for $1 million or more. There were 10 other million-dollar or more sales. And of those 10 sales, at least four were for properties aimed at new home subdivisions.
