THE CORPS LIFTED THE BAN ON DOCK PERMITS!

Click here to read the AJC article. A Corps rep told me that there are about 170 permits left of the 10,615 allocated to Lake Lanier. I'm sure there are more applications than that already in the queue. At least it's encouraging that they believe the drought is over and things can get back to normal around here.

RECENT TRENDS:
- It is the busiest I've ever seen in the lake real estate market. I am working 80-hour weeks, but good things are happening.

- Sellers are no longer forced to accept low-ball offers because all of the sudden, there are quite a few buyers. All the best deals are getting snatched up. I'm getting multiple offers on several properties, and that bodes well for sellers who are willing to price their homes competitively.

- The increase in buyers has caught the attention of potential sellers who were "on the fence." Consequently, there are many, many new competitively priced listings to choose from.

- Buyers are finally considering "fixer-uppers" again. For the longest time, they were only buying perfect houses.  It's so much cheaper to fix it up yourself than to buy someone else's reno. Have you ever watched HGTV where they put $2000 into a house and the Realtor tells them they've added $20K in value? If you buy the fixer-upper and put a little money into it, YOU'RE the one who will earn that money in the form of home equity. Builders are not busy and love to do these project. It will not always be this affordable. Go for it!
