July Sales Update
Posted 8/1/2020
The July 4th fireworks were spectacular, but pale in comparison to the explosion in lake sales!
One year ago, there were 94 properties for sale on the Rabun County lakes. Today, there are only 43 properties for sale on all three lakes. New and quiet listings are selling quickly and in some instances at full asking price.
We are grateful for the messages and talks with our lake home buyers. We have now assisted over 135 buyers in obtaining their lake havens. They tell us how much they have fallen in love again with their lake homes and how grateful they are to be able to spend so much time in this special place. We have heard stories of people observing nature like they never have before — seeing a tree bloom in the Spring and come to life over the summer or watching an eagle soar above Lake Burton. Others tell us how productive they have been working from home and have altered their life with plans to continue their new schedule indefinitely. This pandemic has changed a lot of perspectives in the world. We are so fortunate. Let us don’t forget the many people who struggle to deal with the many negative aspects of these times. Support your local food bank, church pantry, or neighborhood organizations that are helping neighbors. Please be kind and practice good works towards others.
The lake sales in the last thirty days have been tremendous and continue to increase across all the lakes. We see buyers reacting much quicker than ever before, and properties going under contract in record time with expedited closing times. The recent number of pending sales point to a record year for lake sales. With all the latest sales, the inventory is shrinking at a dramatic rate. If you have ever thought about selling, now truly is the time to ask The Lake Team for a market analysis of your property.
Peace and kindness to all,
The Lake Team
