While luxury lake markets across the Southeast swing up and down, Lake Murray is holding steady with a $440K median home price and only 59 days on market. With new rules limiting short-term rentals and the best waterfront lots running out, this 50,000-acre lake with 650 miles of shoreline is attracting tech workers and remote employees from high-tax states. From $300K lake-access homes in Irmo to $2M+ waterfront estates in Lexington, discover why Lake Murray outperforms Lake Keowee, Hartwell, and Wylie—plus the $40M development boom creating South Carolina’s most sought-after lake community.
