Sometime what you really want in a lake home is something you cannot financially afford.  Or you may not be able to afford the lake you want.  So what are your alternatives.  One of the best alternatives to living on the lake is a canal front home.

You can usually get a canal front home for anywhere from $50,000 to a $100,000 less than you could buy a lakefront home.  I have seen beautiful canal front homes that were so much cheaper than a full lakefront home. This gives you the ability to be on the lake, be able to have a boat on the lake but at a cheaper price.

Sometimes lake home buyer expectations are much higher than the price they have in mind.  Lake homes cost so much more than a regular home in a subdivision.  Some large all sports lakes have homes on them that command a $200,000 to $400,000 premium.  Many of the lake home in the $500,000 + range are custom built.  Some of these home sellers have torn down an old home and rebuilt from the ground up.

Sometimes home buyers have to give up the dream of that perfect home to get a home on a lake.  You may not have that luxurious home that you always wanted, but you may have a great lake home.  It is sometimes the choices you have to make.  Many times there is a limited amount of lake homes and choices.  So it is about being realistic.  So if you want to wake up to a view of the lake you may have to lower your expectations went buying a lake home.  If you are having trouble finding a lake home give me a call I can help (248) 310-6239

Here is what a previous client had to say about me!

"I was looking for a realtor and not knowing anyone in the business, I looked online. I heard from several people, but it was Russ with his no-nonsense approach that sold me. I asked what my first step should be and Russ stated immediately that I needed to get pre-qualified before looking at any properties. Great advice! After receiving my pre-qualification letter, Russ and I looked at many properties. As a first-time home buyer my knowledge was very limited, but Russ was more than willing to advise me on my best plan of action. We looked at many properties together and Russ was always on time; most of the time early for our appointments. He made my first experience of buying a home stress-free. If anyone asks me "Can you recommend a good realtor?" My answer would be, "Yes. Russ Ravary."
