February started and ended with a bang! In the first two months, ten properties have closed, and nine properties are still scheduled to close. It appears more pending sales may be coming based on our current negotiations on three more lake properties. The warmer weather and the rising lakes have “jump started” the 2018 lake market season.

The economic indicators are still very positive throughout the business climate, and that is continuing to fuel buyer confidence. Rates are starting to inch up, but are still very attractive. Hopefully, the month of March will continue with mild weather and buyers will start looking to be on the lakes by Memorial Day.

Congratulations to the new owners of LaPrades Marina. They have been hard at work over the winter making many changes and updates. The new and improved marina will continue to offer Lake Burton residents a fantastic assortment of amenities for lake living. Look for their “Grand Opening” soon.If you are contemplating selling your home, please click here for information on our approach to selling a lake home.
