The water’s beautiful, wish you were here!

Lake Martin is on the rise…and while you may have heard that the real estate market is down, buyers are still coming here to find the perfect spot on the lake – whether it’s a cabin or a castle.  Hopefully, your lake place is just around the corner, too.
 

If you’re just beginning your search, here are some things to remember:
·        Get your financing in place – mortgage lenders want your business but some of the lending guidelines have changed.
·        Consider what’s most important to you – the lot or the house – you ll probably find one or the other – but not both!
·        If this is a second home for you, is the drive time a big deal?
·        Shopping on-line is great, but, find a REALTOR® you’re comfortable with to assist you with all the details of purchasing property.
·        If you really like a particular property, don’t wait – someone else will like it too!
