Lake Lanier Area Relocation Home Buyers Coming Back Into The Market From Other States!

Lake Lanier Area Relocation Home Buyers Coming Back Into The Market From Other States!

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.

1. 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.
2. 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.

If you are searching for a waterfront home or an near-lake home on Lanier, please contact us to assist in your search process. We have been doing this now for 15 years, and we can share our extensive knowledge of the area!

Party-Deck view from the dock at Lot 7 Chestatee Pointe in Gainesville On Lake Lanier

Lake Lanier view from the dock at Lot 7 Chestatee Pointe 

Beautiful, private build site at Lot 7 Chestatee Pointe on Lake Lanier

Our latest Lake Lanier listing is a truly fantastic deal! Take a look at this beautiful Lake Lanier waterfront lot that we just listed for sale! This is a level build site located on a quiet cul-de-sac in North East Forsyth County. The lot has very nice homes on either side of it, is in the very back of the cul-de-sac and offers a great deal of privacy on the back where it borders a large wooded section of the US Army Corps of Engineers land. There is approximately 232 feet of frontage on the Corps' property! The lot has been cleared and offers easy accessibility as a build site. The lot dimensions are as follows:  27 X 35 X 188 X 232 X 170. Acreage is approximately 0.51.  Additionally, the lot has a single slip dock with a platform area on the side and a party deck cover. This is an excellent mid-lake location and offers easy access to Gainesville Marina and Port Royale for boat services. There is no mandatory build date required, so you can enjoy lakefront recreation and mooring rights now, and build whenever you are ready.




We feel that this lot represents an excellent value! It was originally purchased in September 2005 for $185,000. Today it goes on market as a potential short sale and it is listed at $120,000! There are not too many vacant waterfront lot deals left on Lake Lanier. But based on the pricing, we feel that this is one of the best values available right now. The owners are very anxious to sell and we are looking for an offer on this property. We think that once you search vacant Lake Lanier lots for sale, you will learn that this is one of the least expensive waterfront lots currently on the market that offers a slip dock as part of the sale. For more information on this incredible bargain please contact us, and we will be happy to meet with you, walk the property and show you the value!
