Insights from Tom Smith
-
Waterfront Properties Remain Premium
Homes with direct lake frontage and private docks consistently command the highest prices. Buyers seeking luxury lakefront lifestyle are willing to pay significantly more per square foot. -
More Options = More Choice for Buyers
Rising inventory means buyers have more homes to consider, especially in segments like water-access or off-water properties. This gives room for negotiating and finding value — but proper pricing is still key. -
Time on Market Varies Sharply by Property Type
While many off-water or accessory lake-view homes are lingering longer, well-positioned waterfront or water-access homes go quickly—sometimes in just a few days if priced right and marketed well.
