Summer is winding down, Labor Day is almost here.  2010 has been a great year for Lake Martin.  The water level has been very close to full all season long.  AquaPalooza 2010 on Lake Martin was a great success with approximately 20,000 attendees and 2,000 boats.

Real estate sales on Lake Martin have remained strong.  Activity has been heavy in August and looks to continue this trend in September.  For those who love to crunch the numbers:  the average sale price is 9% higher than last year while the average listing price is 4% lower.  There are 2% less homes on the market this year but we’ve had 5% more sales than last year.  This is great news for both buyers and sellers.

If you’ve ever thought about owning that get-away second home on the lake or you’re close to retirement and need the perfect retirement location, NOW is the time to be visiting Lake Martin.  I have over 40 listings to show you or, after visiting my website and searching the entire Lake Martin multiple listings, I’ll show you any property for sale on the lake.

As they say on TV, “Come on down“.  Or as we say here at the lake, “Jump in, the water is fine!”

The 2010 Taste of the Dadeville Area will be held on August 19th from 6pm until 8pm at Camp Civitan on Lake Martin.  This second annual event is sponsored by the Dadeville Area Chamber of Commerce to spotlight local restaurants and provide an entertaining evening for everyone.

There will be live music, wine tasting, a Partners in Education silent auction and a raffle for cash and prizes.

Last year’s event attracted over 300 attendees and more are expected to attend this year.  So, if you live on or around Lake Martin, be there!
