***
We're currently adhering to SC COVID-19 lock down rules. Pool is closed and
everyone should avoid any large gatherings of more than 10 people through the end of April. We'll
keep you updated as things change.
- Lake
Front Retaining Wall: The wall is complete and functioning as planned. We have experienced
very high lake levels over the past month or two and the wall has
definitely saved us from additional erosion. The Board has heard from many of
you and everyone appears to be very pleased with the final product.
- Lease:
All the paper work along with an updated plat has been submitted to
Santee Cooper in order to get the waterfront property transferred into the HOA’s name.
Mr. Roquemore has agreed to sign the transfer papers once they are
ready and he has approved the new plat. The new plat basically includes
all the property on the lake side of the condos, to include the sea
wall.
- Insurance:
The board has authorized an increase in our liability coverage
from $2M to $4M. This was done to reduce our liability should an
accident occur on our property.
- Marina slip
assignment forms along with instructions as to how to fill them out
have been sent out. Please follow the instructions in the mailing to fill out the document.
Hopefully all homeowners received the much more detailed status report emailed out by Calhoun Mays and the HOA Board.

It
has taken a while, but I think we can now say that all the condos at
North Shore have been sold. We have now moved into the next phase of
normal ongoing turnover and sale of units expected in typical
residential communities.
According to a recent article in the SC Biz News,
The SC lowcountry residential real estate market is stable, and demand
continues to outpace supply. Median price of homes is up 4.6% this year,
so that's good news for all of us. According to the Sandlapper Group, the median price of homes around Lake Marion is currently $302,562 and climbing.
FYI - you might find it interesting to check out the current list of North Shore Villas on the real estate market according to Zillow.
