Whiteboard Topics: Why Are Lake Home Owners Selling These Days?

Living life at the lake is something a lot of people love or want to experience. While this is true, you might be seeing more and more people selling their lake properties. Why is this? There are a few reasons why lake homeowners are selling. Glenn Phillips, CEO of Lake Homes Realty, has the answer to this question.

  1. Age-Related: Owning a lake property can become something that involves a lot of maintenance and upkeep. At a certain point in life, you might not want to fool with those things anymore. That’s not to say you didn’t enjoy and get the most out of the lake home.
  2. Life-Style Changes: You might have had the lake home when the kids were younger, and now some of the family has moved away. Lifestyle changes can even lead to interest changes. Many life events or changes can alter the amount of time you spend at the lake compared to how much you once did.
  3. Financial Opportunity: If you’re looking for time to get a good return on your investment, selling might be something that is being considered. This point is usually a more practical one in comparison. However, at the end of the day, if it’s something you’re wanting to do, now’s a great time to do so.

If you’re thinking of selling or it’s been on your mind, consider where you might fall in terms of these 3 points. More than likely, it will be one, if not multiple. Like always, the lake market experts at LakeHomes.com are willing to help and give advice. Reach out to one of them today.
