Lancaster County Council unanimously voted to implement a nine-month moratorium on new residential developments in Indian Land, effective October 2025. This pause addresses rapid growth concerns in an area that experienced a staggering 476% growth rate from 2000 to 2020. For buyers, this moratorium means existing inventory becomes more valuable as new construction supply is temporarily halted. If you've been considering Indian Land for its excellent schools and growing amenities, purchasing an existing home now could position you well before new development resumes and prices potentially increase. For sellers, current listings may see increased attention from buyers who can't wait for new builds. The county is also revisiting impact fees, which could affect future development costs and make existing homes more competitive. The moratorium lasts through July 2026 with a possible three-month extension, so buyers interested in new construction should explore nearby Fort Mill and Lake Wylie options. Existing homeowners in Indian Land benefit from infrastructure improvements the county is planning during this pause, including the Highway 521 widening project.
