Leonard Lake Highland MI information
One of the questions we ask lake home buyers is do you like the view of the water or do you want lake access. The reason we ask this questions is about the affordability of buying a lake home. You can buy a canal front home on some lakes for less money. So if view is not an important factor you may get more for your money by buying a canal front home. Canal front homes on Cass Lake in Waterford or Cedar Island Lake in White Lake are going to cost less than a lakefront home of similar size on the same lake. So deciding what you want in a lake and a lake home is very important to think about before starting your search. That is one of the pros of buying on a canal. There are pros and cons on where you live on a lake.
- Cities the lake lies in Highland
- School district for the lake Huron valley
- Streets around the lake are paved
- City water Well
- City sewer Septic
- Canals on Lake no
- Lots over an acre on lake yes
- Water-ski course n/a
- Condominiums no
For example do you want to see the sunset? Being on the west shore of a lake gives you a great view of the sunset. However with that view you will get all the stuff from the east side of the lake. The west winds will blow seaweed, leaves, and miscellaneous articles to your shoreline. These are just some of the different things that come up with buying a waterfront home for sale in Oakland County Michigan. That is why it is important to hire a good experience lake realtor like myself to help you understand our local lakes.

What are some of the factors that affect the price of a lake property? Of course the house and size of the house does. The size of the frontage on the lake does influence the price of the lake home too. Just as the size of the home influences the sales price so does the lake frontage. A hundred foot lot on Maceday Lake in Waterford will be worth more than a 35' lot.
Yes back in the early day's (the 1920's) some lake lots were only 35' because the cottages were too small. Over the years some lake home owners have bought up the neighbors lots, bulldozed other homes down, or split a lot with the neighbor to make their lots bigger. Most lake lots in Livingston and Lake Properties in Oakland County and the Metro Detroit have Lake Frontage that ranges from 35'- to about 150' on average. Of course there are homes that have large lake frontage of over 200'. I have seen some that are over a 1000' feet when they are on a peninsula of a lake. That is always nice because you have a panoramic view from the property and the home. I have even sold a small lake property of 26'. Back in the day they did not have side setbacks.
We have seen some lake homes that are only one foot from the lot lines. It is very important when you buy a lake home to get a staked survey if you can. We always recommend to any buyer to look up the property lot lines. We have seen several homes listed this year where they were advertised as lake front yet the property never actually touched the water. It is definitely buyer beware. So be smart and look up the lot lines yourself.

Joe was the best agent for my husband and I. He was always available for a showing and was quick in responding to my E-mails and phone calls. He did everything he could to help us get the house of our dreams! I would highly recommend Joe and his team to anyone looking for a house. Thanks again Joe!
Janel sold our home for us. It was a seller’s market so we priced it high. We got multiple offers because of Janel’s marketing and sold our house $30,000 over list. Then she helped us buy our next house. We didn’t have to pay more than list. We really made and saved money with her.
"Dear Russ,
It´s been 2 months since we moved into our new Canton condo and we
are very happy with it. In the beginning we didn´t even
know what we needed but with your help, guidance and
patience we chose the best condo in the area with the best
price according to our needs. We were looking all over. We looked in Novi, Warrren, Canton, Farmington Hills. But we finally found our Canton condo. We appreciate everything you
have done for us. We would recommend you without hesitation
to everyone we know who wants to buy or sell a house. "
