Frigid Temps Hitting Lake Lanier! But The Real Estate Market Is Heating Up!

Wow! They weren't kidding about the cold weather rolling in here! As of 1:30 PM today my thermometer outside is registering a chilly 27° here at Lake Lanier. And that is really about as warm as it's going to get today, or for the next few days for that matter. As I'm sure you have probably heard, the temperatures are expected to drop down into the single digits over the next day or so. That's as cold as it's been here in many years.

For all of you that own second homes out here on Lake Lanier, it is advised that you winterize your home immediately if you have not already done so. All of this cold weather and managing properties during the winter months brings to mind the need for many people to have a reliable property management company. We have posted many times in the past, that our very own company Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices can provide this service for you in our Property Management / Home Leasing Program.

And what about your boat?  It is usually important to have that winterized as well. For me, that meant contacting MarineMax on Lake Lanier and having my boat professionally winterized in order to protect it against the very cold weather that we are experiencing now! Every year I have this done, and I often wonder if it is really necessary when the Lake temperatures typically do not stay down this low for a very long time. But each time that I have my boat winterized, I always ask the service technicians if they see cases of engine failure due to cold weather and freezing temperatures on Lake Lanier. Their answer is always the same. Each year, often as the weather warms up, boat owners will head to their boats in preparation for their first spring outing. The boat will not want to start, and often times it will not even turn over. The techs at MarineMax tell me that they get numerous calls in the spring regarding this issue. And many of these times the reason for the failure is a cracked block or major engine failure due to the motor not being winterized in the boat. And that my friends is an expensive fix!

Despite the cold weather, things are still heating up here in the Lake Lanier real estate market. We are seeing lots of sales activity, and fielding lots of calls from people looking for Lake Lanier homes and lots.
