Charlotte to South Carolina relocation

Moving from Charlotte to Fort Mill or York County, SC

I'm Aaron Reel, licensed in North Carolina (#269504) and South Carolina (#137982), with The Southern Agents Team at Costello Real Estate & Investments. Most of my relocating buyers are leaving Mecklenburg County for York County. The reason is usually the same: a shorter tax bill, Fort Mill schools, and a commute that is still workable.

The right town is not the same for everyone. Fort Mill is the closest and the most expensive. Rock Hill and York cost less. Lake Wylie is the lifestyle buy. Clover is the land buy.

Call or text (803) 242-8034 and I will run your payment and tax numbers before you tour.

Common questions

What will property taxes be on a $450,000 York County home?

For a primary residence that qualifies for South Carolina's 4% assessment, a typical York County bill is often in the range of about $2,000 to $2,700 a year. A similar Mecklenburg County bill is often roughly $4,800 to $5,700. Millage changes by town, so these are estimates, not a tax bill. You must file the 4% primary-residence application with the York County Assessor. It does not apply by itself, and it does not apply to most second homes or rentals.

Can one agent handle a Charlotte sale and a Fort Mill purchase?

Yes, if that agent is licensed in both states. I am. If you are selling in North Carolina and buying in South Carolina, we can coordinate both sides.

Which York County town should a Charlotte commuter pick?

Pick Fort Mill if the commute and schools come first. Pick Rock Hill or York if the payment comes first. Pick Lake Wylie or Tega Cay if the lake is the point. Pick Clover if you want acreage and can live with a longer drive.
