KENTUCKY LAKE WATERFRONT REAL ESTATE MARKET 2004 - 2008 MARSHALL COUNTY

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Real Estate Associates

The Kentucky Lake waterfront real estate market in Marshall County remained strong this year. Year to date listings sold were only 1 less than 2007 while the total and average sold prices are up. The following data is taken from our MLS:

 

Total sales for 2008 are up 10% over 2004.

Although total dollar sales were off in 2006 the following chart shows that the average home sale continued to rise.

AVERAGE WATERFRONT SALES 2004 - 2008

Average home sales have risen 39% over the same 5 year period.

I think it's safe to say that investing in Kentucky Lake waterfront property is still a good investment even with all the negative information coming from the news media. Lenders are lending, interest rates are good and we have a good selection of properties to choose from.

This information is for Marshall County only and the data is taken from the regional Western Kentucky MLS. Information is deemed to be accurate but is not guaranteed.

Ron,

Kentucky is such a beautiful state with its rolling hills, horse farms, lakes, and caverns, etc.  Thank you for sharing this information.

Thanks Kelly, I think we do have a beautiful state. And summer on Kentucky Lake is really fun...and beautiful. I used to take my children out in the boat in the evening and run across the lake to the LBL in the evening and jump in the lake with them to play. Then watch the sunset and come back to the dock. Really good memories.
