We have more waterfront properties on the market today then ever before…300 homes, 100 condos, and 119 lots are for sale on Lake Martin as of August 7, 2007 according to our Multiple Listing Service. This means that buyers have more to choose from – and they are watching to see what the market is going to do here at the lake.

If you’re considering investing, now is a great time to shop for Lake Martin property! If you’re selling, be realistic in pricing and marketing your property. You need to know what properties are selling for now – not last year. Pricing strategy is important. Aggressive marketing is vital. Internet presence is everything – most of today’s buyers shop online before they show up in person.
Whether buying or selling, get educated - review the ad magazines; study the internet; hire an internet savvy REALTOR® and ask for a CMA (comparative market analysis.). Do your homework - get the most for your money and don’t leave money on the table.

The HOBOs Board of Directors first meeting was held this week. In order to achieve some of the goals (water quality, water level, shoreline development/zoning, lake cleanup, etc.) a number of committees are being formed. Further, the lake has been divided into 12 areas. Each area needs an Area Manager to recruit new members, maintain good relations with the community, and carry out the various action plans for HOBOs.

You can help by joining as an individual, a family, a business, or a sponsor. Serving on a committee or as an Area Manager will be rewarding and not too time consuming! So go to the HOBO website or click on this link today!
