What does “inside the gates” mean at Lake Oconee?
Real estate market trends are quite different, depending on whether you’re considering properties in one of our gated golf communities or not.
“Inside the gates” at Lake Oconee you’ll find world class amenities and a host of manicured golf courses. Mandatory fees for POA and club dues will be a consideration. Plans are offered with options that include more (or less) access to golfing.
The gated communities are clustered in the center of the lake – with restaurants, shops, banks, and healthcare services just a short drive away.

Is it a Buyers or Sellers market at Lake Oconee?

Market Report - Georgia's Lake Country, featuring Madison, plus Lakes Oconee and Sinclair.
Last evening I had the pleasure of hosting the 2012 Awards Banquet for the Lake Country Board of Realtors.  We inducted 28 individuals and 7 teams into our Million Dollar Club, and gave four Realtors the Phoenix Award for 10 consecutive years membership in the Million Dollar Club.
I took a moment to give a "state of our market" summary:
From 2005-2007, our MLS reported about $450 million in annual sales - the last three years have been about a third of that.
From 2005 to 2007, our … (0 comments)

Market Report: Lake Country MLS trends for 2011 - covering Madison, Lake Oconee, Lake Sinclair
How's the market?
This is the number one question people ask when they find out I sell real estate.
With a word of caution from my late Dad, who was fond of saying "figures lie and liars figure" - let us bravely wade into the world of statistics courtesy of the Lake Country MLS.
Residential sales are
2011 sold through Sept - 350 homes
2010 sold through Sept - 314 homes
2009 sold through Sept - 315 homes
