How We Sold This Kingston Harbour Home for $1,195,000 Without a Pool

Record Off Lake Sale Lexington SC 530 Windmere Drive Kingston Harbour

The Situation

530 Windmere Drive is a stunning executive home, but it faced a significant appraisal challenge. We were aiming for a sale price of $1,195,000 - a number typically reserved for waterfront homes or estates with extensive private outdoor amenities like luxury pools.

This home was off-lake and did not have a private pool. In the local market, comparable sales suggested a much lower ceiling. The challenge was to find a buyer who valued the quality of the construction and the "turnkey" perfection of the interior more than the typical check-the-box amenities.

The Stragegy

We knew that local buyers might struggle with the price tag because they are conditioned to the local market history. So, we expanded the battlefield.

We targeted Out-of-State Relocation Buyers. We knew that buyers coming from higher cost-of-living markets (like the Northeast or West Coast) would see $1.195M for a 4,400+ sq. ft. custom home as a "steal," regardless of the pool.

We pushed the listing aggressively to our exclusive network of relocation agents and launched a video campaign highlighting the "Executive Lifestyle" of Kingston Harbour (gated security, community tennis/pool, and boat storage), proving that the neighborhood amenities replaced the need for private ones.

The Result

The strategy delivered massive exposure, generating over 50,000 views on our videos and ads. We successfully found the right buyer and closed at $1,195,000, setting a record for one of the highest off-lake sales in Kingston Harbour without a pool.
