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!

2010 Is Here. Smith Lake is Ready.

With 2009 behind us, many Smith Lake property owners have put their home or property up for sale in 2010. With an abundance of Smith Lake properties available, the savvy lake buyer knows they have some options. Since Jan 1 2010, I have listed several new properties and expect many more as Spring approaches.

The Smith Lake real estate market usually starts picking up after the Birmingham Boat Show which is held the week of January 23rd. This seems to spur interest for the lake in general.

We expect 2010 to be a great year for Smith Lake property!

I continue to see buyers from all over the world who are choosing to make Smith Lake their vacation or year round home.

The Real Estate Market---Fall 2009

The real estate market on Smith Lake has been quite interesting this year. With a few foreclosures and short sales on Smith Lake, we have seen an increase in buying opportunities. Also, the water levels at Smith Lake are near Summer pool. I have never seen the lake this high in the Fall!

I have a great inventory of rustic cottages that will fit anyone's budget. With over 250 listings on my site alone, I have a property for just about anyone.

The market on Smith Lake is actually doing quite well with an abundance inventory for those savvy buyers. We ARE selling property here and we are fortunate that are market IS doing well.

SPRING is Almost Here!

With Spring just around the corner, many people have been coming up to Smith Lake to look at properties for sale or check on their existing Smith Lake property. I have even seen some people in the water wakeboarding and wakesurfing with no wetsuits! Those are some brave folks! The water is almost at full pool now, so the water looks great, but is still very cold.

The real estate market on Smith Lake has really picked up over the last two weeks with afternoon temperatures in the 70s. Most of the calls I am getting are from buyers looking to purchase a vacation home on Smith Lake or perhaps a retirement home. I have in excess of 200 listings at this point, so I definately have some type of real estate for any buyer. If I don't have it, I will go find it!

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.

The Real Estate Market on Lewis Smith Lake in 2008

For those of you who have been following the real estate market around the country, I think you will be pleasantly surprised that sales of waterfront property on Lewis Smith Lake in northern Alabama remain strong. With the downfall of the stock market, many consumers choose to invest their money into other assets such as real estate. Smith Lake does have an excess of inventory at the moment which in turn makes it a great time to take advantage of some of these homes, lots, or condos for sale. Most sellers understand the current market conditions and are willing to negotiate to some extent. Smith Lake by no means has an excess amount of foreclosures or short sales, yet has many motivated sellers willing to move their Smith Lake property as soon as possible.
