Facebook Page, Minutes of the North Shore HOA Board Meetings, and other
items of interest submitted by homeowners during the month:
- Lake
Front Retaining Wall: The project is pretty much wrapped up and I must
say the contractor did a great job. Really looks good. It was also nice
hearing it came in on time and pretty much right on budget. The HOA Reserve/Finance/Budget committee will be
meeting over the next few weeks regarding the planning for the railing
and cart path phase of the project. Several options are being prepared
for homeowners to select from next month.
- Lease:
All the paper work along with an updated plat has been submitted to
Santee Cooper in order to get the lease 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.
Hopefully all homeowners received the much more detailed status report emailed out by Calhoun Mays in January.
- Starting
January 1, 2019, Santee North Shore LLC decided that it needed to start

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.
