Historic Count Of Active Lake Lanier Waterfront Home Listings Shows Incredibly Low Inventory Of Homes For Sale!

Historic Count Of Active Lake Lanier Waterfront Home Listings Shows Incredibly Low Inventory Of Homes For Sale!

Based on information provided by FMLS, the Lake Lanier, waterfront home listing inventory is lower than it has been in the last five years!  If you are an active buyer, looking for your spot on the lake, you likely are experiencing a tough time finding a home that works.  Alternatively, if you are considering selling your home, you could be looking at a strong market with the least amount of competition from other lake homes that are for sale. This makes conditions for quick sales and multiple offers on strong properties a real possibility.  Check out all of the data on our SlideShare presented below!
