Today, we're prepping for relocation clients from Pennsylvania that will be coming to our area this weekend to look at homes in the Lake Lanier area. This reminds us of years past when relocation clients would come from all over the United States to find a waterfront place on Lake Lanier. What we have experienced in many of these cases, is that the activity and needs of many of these clients has tended to follow one of two paths in our home searches.
- Clients relocate to the northern suburbs of Atlanta and the Lake Lanier area because their jobs are being relocated to this area as a consequence of the area being a corporate paradise for so many large companies.
- Clients that are retired, empty nesters relocating to the northern suburbs of Atlanta and the Lake Lanier area because their children and grandchildren have already relocated to this area because of their transferring jobs.
Sometimes, these home searches start out as Lake Lanier waterfront homes. In many cases, however, the search can transition into off-lake homes because of the price for being waterfront on Lanier or because of the limited amount of available acreage on waterfront properties. These buyers often feel that in order to get the amount of acreage and privacy that they want with waterfront footage on Lake Lanier, the asking price is beyond their budget. This forces the search to go off-lake in communities such as Cumming, Buford, Flowery Branch, Suwanee, John's Creek, Hoschton, etc. These communities offer properties with plenty of space and acreage along with the ability to still have access to Lake Lanier. With all of the public boat ramps and marinas scattered around the lake, new residents to our area can still enjoy lake activities without actually being in a waterfront home.
