Lake Norman Waterfront Homes: The Water is Back!

Lake Norman waterfront home

 

I always love showing buyers waterfront homes because Lake Norman is just so beautiful.  But, today was special. Even in the smallest of coves there was plenty of water for the first time since our drought started last summer. 

 

Lake Norman's Main Channel

 

 Our beautiful lake is gleaming, the boats are back at their docks and our waterfront homes look better than ever! 

My friend, who moved here from Texas a year ago, commented on the fact that when they first moved here they had no idea how large Lake Norman really was and that it is truly more like an inland ocean than a lake.  I thought that was great perspective to share with anyone thinking about moving here.

Just to confirm officially, I came home and checked the Lake Norman water levels on Duke-Energy's website.  They are actually 1.5' ABOVE our target level of 95.9 and are, as of 2:28 today, a very comfortable 97.4'.

Add a profusion of blossoming trees, daffodills, bright yellow forsythia bushes and the budding of myriad bushes to the sparking lake and you might just say it was a perfect day to be in real estate!

What beautiful photos!  Spring hasn't quite spring in my neck of the woods, yet.  We still have snow on the ground, but the temps are beginning to creep up.

Diane, we had a lot of water woes in Alabama over the past six months or so. You will understand when I say how excited I was when I saw some lake levels rising in our area over the past week or so. Here's to you having a lot of fun on those beautiful lakes!
