Lake Lanier Homes For Sale Under $300,000! Here's What To Expect!

We have been out almost every day for the past week showing Lake Lanier waterfront homes priced in the $200,000 to $300,000 price range.  Most of our visits have been focused on the south end of the lake, in Cumming, Buford and Flowery Branch.  While there are numerous homes available, this price range can often represent a challenge to eager buyers.  The obstacle can be about finding the perfect home that has enough space and separation of living areas, but also has a waterfront lot that will sustain lake activities should the lake drop six feet below full pool.  As of today, Lake Lanier is about a foot over full pool, so all of the properties that we saw had water under the dock and the waterfront was very inviting.

When Fall arrives and cool weather sets in, however, our lake level is likely to drop.  Because of this frequent occurrence, we like to look for properties that have at least five to six feet of water at the dock now, with plenty of room to maneuver and push the dock as the water goes down and out many of these coves.  In the given price range, it can be challenging to find homes that can keep the dock floating during the Fall and Winter, but especially during a dry season and extended drought.  Be careful in your selections, carry your tape measure and measure the water depth at the dock.  Consider the size and type of boat that you will use, and the navigation issues that may be faced during low water times.  Kayaks and canoes can find nice homes in some of these tight coves, but ski boats and cruisers might not. Learn to recognize alternative benefits and activities during shallow water times such as fishing from the bank and walking the shoreline.  I often see shallow water coves that might not be suitable for boats, but offer a spectacular environment for bass fishing!
