Lake Season 2011 is Here!

With the warm weather upon us, the Buyers have started coming back to Smith Lake Alabama! With 80 degree plus temperatures this past weekend, boats were out in full force.

I have listed some phenomenal properties in the last few weeks in all price ranges on all sections of the lake.

With the low interest rates and a plentiful supply of Smith Lake homes, now is the time to invest!

Smith Lake Water Levels Almost 5 Feet Above Summer Pool

With all of the recent soaking rains, Smith Lake water levels have risen to almost 5 feet above summer pool! I haven't seen the lake this high in about 6 or 7 years. It's amazing to go from drought conditions to this! Today the lake level is 514.31 which is 4.31 feet above the 510 elevation, which is considered Summer pool.

We do expect the water level to drop in the upcoming days, and we are glad all of this rain has brought the Southeast out of drought conditions!

If you own Smith Lake property and haven't checked your dock and lines lately, I would strongly suggest doing so. Many docks and cables have broken loose due to the rapid rise of the water.

Throughout the last few weeks, interest rates have dropped considerably, thus creating some buying opportunities for Smith Lake buyers! My phone calls, emails, and showings have increased since the end of December and first part of January. Most buyers realize this is a great opportunity to invest in Smith Lake real estate while money is cheap.

Smith Lake properties have not been affected by all of the mortgage problems that have plagued other areas of the country.

Gas Prices Around Smith Lake

For the first time in years, gas is cheap! Most stations around Smith Lake are selling gas for around $1.60 per gallon for 87 octane. I did see one station on Highway 78 in Jasper selling gas for $1.45. That price is the lowest I have seen.

With lower gas prices, I encourage you to come over and see what Lewis Smith Lake has to offer. Smith Lake property is a solid investment for the future. We are constantly seeing buyers from all over the United States who have found out about the low property taxes and clean water that Smith Lake has to offer.

Smith Lake Water Levels Remaining Constant

The water level at Lewis Smith Lake has remained constant over the last two months. Today, the lake is at 497.28 which is 12.72 feet below the normal pool elevation of 510. The normal pool for this time of year is 496, so the lake is about 1.28 feet above normal right now. Property owners and developers are happy with the water level remaining constant in 2008. In November 0f 2007, Smith Lake was at one of the lowest levels ever due to the severe drought--around 490.8 which is 6 feet below normal winter levels! This information can be obtained from http://www.smithlake.info.

As a reminder, the Fall and Winter months are great times to buy Smith Lake property. With the lower water levels, a buyer can see what the shoreline will look like during these months. This is the perfect time of year to decide dock placement and retaining wall options if needed.

Sales of Expensive Homes on Smith Lake Remaining High in 2008

The upper bracket homes on Lewis Smith Lake had a sales increase toward the later part of the Summer and early Fall. These waterfront homes in the 800K-1.5M range seemed to be a hot commodity as stock prices began to fall and many consumers decided to invest their hard earned dollar elsewhere--Smith Lake property.

It seems waterfront real estate on Smith Lake is becoming a popular investment for people located all over the world. A one million dollar investment on Smith Lake will buy a beautiful waterfront home or a spectacular piece of land. This equal investment in other parts of the country will not compare to the amount of square footage or shoreline you can purchase on Smith Lake for the same amount of money.

The surrounding states such as Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi are all starting to migrate toward Smith Lake. The lakes in these states are far inferior to Smith Lake with regards to water quality and price per waterfront foot.
