What is Trending in Real Estate?

2026 is the 100th anniversary of Lake Martin’s creation by the construction of Martin Dam on the Tallapoosa River. A lot has changed since the 1920s as far as real estate is concerned. For instance, prior to the commencement of the dam construction, no one was absolutely certain of exactly how much land would be flooded and where the shoreline would land.

Even more uncertain was how the land that touched the new lake would be used. In the 1920s, most of the land around the lake was farmland, and very few people had enough vision to see recreational use for shoreline property. Even for those few who had vision, they would be amazed at what Lake Martin has become today.
