Get to Know This Fabulous Fort Mill Business - The Social Cork Wine Bar

 

Linda Hall of The Linda Hall Team likes to promote exceptional local businesses, and The Social Cork Wine Bar is both local and exceptional. Linda wants you to know about them as she believes you will feel the same way.

The Social Cork Wine Bar is next to Linda’s other favorite local small business, The Saltwater Markets. We did a blog on them before, and we’re telling you that you have the best in both worlds regarding seafood and wine. So it’s natural they are located next door to each other.

The owners of The Social Cork Wine Bar are Jay and Melony Speelman. Jay and Melony were born in New York and met in 2003 when Mel was only 23 years old. James says Mel is the gift that keeps on giving. 😊

They moved to the Carolinas back in 2008, as they were in search of a great life and an excellent education for their daughter, Julianna, who was only two years old at the time. Julianna is now 16 years old and attends Clover High. She’s on the cheerleading team, the Charlotteallstars. They are all living their best life here, and to further expand on that beautiful life, they left their corporate jobs and opened this fantastic community gathering spot, The Social Cork Wine Bar, in 2022.

In just that short period, they’ve hit the ground running to meet their mission of providing community connections. They host Happy Hours, Live Music, including Caribbean Nights, Monthly Wine Tasting, and more. We’ll list their events for February, and it is definitely a place to take your sweetie on Valentine’s Day.

They not only serve the best wine around but also outstanding food. Here are links to their menus for Happy Hour, and their general Menu.

Oh, and another thing that you might be interested in is you can host private events at The Social Cork Wine Bar. Even though they are usually closed for brunch and lunch, private parties can host events at those times. They have a room that will accommodate small to mid-size groups. So, if you have a bridal party, baby shower or holiday event, or even a private wine-tasting party, engagement, or birthday party, you have a space for it. Gather more information by visiting here, The Corvino Room.

10 Reasons You Should Own a Home in 2023

 

  1. Financial Security: Owning a home is a great way to build financial security, as you can use the equity in your home to secure loans or lines of credit. 
  2. Tax Benefits: Homeowners can take advantage of certain tax benefits, such as deductions for mortgage interest or property taxes.
  3. Build Wealth: Owning a home can be an effective way to build wealth over time because homeowners often benefit from increasing home values.
  4. Stability: Homeownership provides a sense of stability and security, as you can remain in your home for as long as you want.
  5. Customization: When you own a home, you can customize it to fit your lifestyle and make it your own.
  6. Pride of Ownership: Owning a home can bring a sense of pride and accomplishment.
  7. Interest Rates: Interest rates are higher than we would like, although if you plan on staying in the home for a number of years, you can always refinance in the future when the rates come down. 
  8. Community: Owning a home is a great way to become more involved in your community and build relationships with your neighbors.
  9. Forced Savings: Making your mortgage payments every month is a great way to force yourself to save money.
  10. Future Options: Owning a home allows you to stay in the home or eventually sell it to use the equity for other real estate investments.

Equity. Let's look at one additional reason owning a home is a good idea and this ties into financial security, wealth, forced savings, and future options. We're talking about the equity you'll build while owning a home. If you rent, you are building someone else's equity and wealth.

We send this out every other week on Thursday at 9 am. You can count on it. We will never spam your email box. Sign up - HERE.

Let's get started. We will be reviewing year-over-year stats for each community for the past month of November. This is for Single-Family residences.

New Listings on Market: The new listings on the market decreased by 15.3 percent from 2021, with only 1,148 homes on the market. In November of 2021, there were 1,356 homes on the market, which was a 7.1 percent decrease from 2020. In 2020 there were 1,459 homes on the market. So the inventory of homes (competition) has decreased over the past 2 years. That's good news for those considering listing their homes. 

Median Percent of Original Price: There's good news here. The median percent of the original price in November of 2022 was 100.3 percent. That was only a very slight decrease of -0.5 percent from 2021, which was 100.8 percent. In 2021 we increased by 1.8 percent from 2020, where it was 99.0 percent. 

 

In conclusion, in Fort Mill, the sales price has increased from the previous year, the time on the market has increased from 3 to 4 days, and the competition has decreased.

What’s happening at The Humane Society of York County?

There are several exciting things happening at the Humane Society of York County, and The Linda Hall Team of Century 21 First Choice wants to share them with you.

 

First, The Christmas Store is open now and is a GREAT place for you to do your shopping while supporting a wonderful cause. The shop is located at 22-3 Deerifeld Drive, Fort Mill, and the open hours are daily from noon to 4 pm and Fridays and Saturdays from 10 am to 4 pm.

 

Some popular items include the following, BUT there is a lot more in the store than this!

The second event that is a HUGE fundraiser for them is Giving Tuesday. They are promoting the fact that this year, they’ve given 550 animals a second chance at life. If that’s not a reason to open your pocketbooks, then we don’t what is. Seriously, they do so much good in our community.  

 

The third event is called Pups on the Prowl (POP). This monthly event is designed to get a bunch of adoptable pups out for a hike. You can meet these fabulous adoptable kitties and dogs by appointment at the HSYC 803-802-0902.

The last event is Here Comes Santa and will be held on Saturday, December 3rd, from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm. This is an amazing Santa photoshoot fund raiser. The cost is $15 per electronic picture and is just in time for your Christmas Cards! Walk-ins are welcome. Cash/credit accepted. **Additional donations accepted.

 

Other ways to help this amazing organization are as follows:

Volunteer

Donate

Foster

Adopt

 

 

The whole Linda Hall Team is very focused on pets, as we are all animal lovers. This is an extremely important local organization to us. The Linda Hall Team is a sponsor of the Humane Society of York County and its Christmas Store.  Linda and her husband, Pete, have always had a golden retriever in their lives, and currently (and hopefully, for a long time to come), they enjoy sharing space with Molly. She is a beautiful golden, and they can’t imagine life without her. Sabine Hammermann, Rene Lurion, Caroline McCarthy, Amanda Sisko, and Sarah Cole ALL have animals in their lives. What is life if not shared with a 4-legged friend?

Tega Cay SC Catawba Park Opens And Wins Over Residents

The above video is credited to the Herald's article, "A 62-acre game changer is open in Tega Cay. Here's how to check out Catawba Park." Do read their article, as they have extensive information. 

The opening of Tega Cay SC Catawba Park is exciting for everyone. It offers 62 acres of fields for baseball, softball, and soccer, PLUS it has a playground and outdoor gathering spaces. This is truly an active family's dream! Tire those kids out!

The Catawba Fest will be the first event at Catawba Park and the city manager, Charlie Funderburk, is excited to host it there. The event is on October 29th and runs from 11 am to 8 pm. They usually have about 75 vendors, but this year they expect to double that! There will be overflow parking at the Gold Hill Middle School lot, and there will be shuttles running throughout the entire day. 

With the popularity of Fall sports in Tega Cay, this facility was sorely needed. They had over 2,000 participants this year in the youth sports programs. That number is steadily growing each year. 

The fields are artificial turf which is great in that they need less maintenance, and the weather won't be an adverse effect on them as was the case previously. This is just a great asset to the community.
