What’s Happening with Land Sales in Big Canoe? A Quick Market Check

Are Big Canoe Lots Still Selling? Here's the Truth

If you’ve been thinking about selling your lot in Big Canoe, you’re not alone—but it’s important to understand the current landscape.

Right now, the lot market is challenging. Most properties are slow to move, especially those with high site prep costs.

For example, lots that require significant grading for a driveway or retaining walls can carry up to $150,000 in prep expenses. Cutting into the mountain to create a less sloped drive is often a dealbreaker for buyers who aren’t prepared for that level of investment.

Here’s where the market stands as of mid-June 2025:

• 86 lots currently for sale

• 8 under contract

• Only 4 have closed in the past 60 days

But here’s what’s interesting: all 8 pending contracts were written since May 20, 2025, and nearly all fall into two standout categories—

→ View lots (long range, seasonal)
→ Lots located in Wildcat

The only location exception? A lot listed at $55,000 in the Lakeside neighborhood on Quail Cove, which seems to have caught a buyer’s eye despite being outside those premium categories.

What does this tell us?
While the broader market is sluggish, well-positioned lots are still selling—especially those offering long-range views, access to amenities in neighborhoods like Wildcat or level lots . Buyers continue to act when a property stands out in location or price.
