Waterfront home on Lake Martin

Who knew that owning a waterfront home on Lake Martin would be one of the best investments in your portfolio? Most people want to buy a lake home because they want a place to enjoy with family and friends on one of the best lakes anywhere in the world. It turns out that your recreational purchase could be such a great investment.

I do this for a living – and I see the numbers every day – so rarely am I surprised by the sales data. In fact, during the late spring months, the market appeared to be a bit sluggish, most likely due to the “tariff tantrum” and trade wars. Once that problem eased off, the market took off!
