property: Rare Auction For Lake Martin Waterfront Home on Jan. 23, 2009 - 01/15/09 12:50 PM
On Friday January 23, 2009 the Lake Martin waterfront home of 216 Harrison Road, Dadeville, Alabama (map here) will be auctioned off on the steps of the Tallapoosa County Courthouse, downtown Dadeville.
This is a rare type of auction in that, as far as I can tell, it is NOT a property tax auction.  It it NOT a home being auctioned by a private auctioneer, so therefore it has NOT been heavily promoted or advertised.  The only promotion I could find has been the customary notification in the legal section of the Dadeville Record.

property: 2 New Charts: Lake Martin Real Estate Sales 08-2008 - 10/23/08 08:49 AM
To respond to some readers’ comments, I thought I would publish a few more statistics from the Lake Martin MLS* waterfront home sales for August 2008.
Before I get into it, let me first caution all readers not to draw broad conclusions about the Lake Martin real estate market from the following two graphs.  I still maintain that looking too deeply into monthly sales statistics may be misleading, since we have such a very small market in terms of number of sales.  It just doesn’t make for a very good sampling pool when there are only 20 sales. So again I … (0 comments)

property: 4 Ways Lake Martin Realtors Are Like Power Steering - 07/27/08 09:59 AM
Is driving all about the steering? No. 
Then why should Lake Martin real estate agents think that a transaction is all about him or her? It always puzzles me when real estate agents let their egos become part of the buying and selling process.
It happens all of the time at Lake Martin, as I am sure it happens everywhere.  Now, I am not talking about good ole competitive spirit or clean hustle.  I am talking about the instances where the agents seem to think that if wasn't for them, the whole transaction wouldn't happen at all.Here are 4 ways Lake … (0 comments)

property: Interested In Building A RV Park On Lake Martin? - 06/26/08 06:40 AM
Lots of people enjoy Lake Martin by taking their RV to or camping in Wind Creek State Park.  It has lots of sites on the waterfront, and is really a pretty park.  As you can imagine, it can get crowded on the summer weekends with camping spots in high demand.
Recently this was a topic of discussion on the Lakes Online forum that is dedicated to Lake Martin.  You can read the posts' thread here. The general consensus was one of wishing for more options to RV or camp on the water, and why there aren't more places like that around Lake … (2 comments)

property: Lake Martin Waterfront Sales - April 2007 vs April 2008 - A Photo Finish - 05/29/08 03:26 AM
Lake Martin real estate waterfront sales showed some signs of improvement in April 2008 as compared to April 2007.

In April 2008, there were 18 waterfront homes and condos and 1 lot sold through the Lake Martin MLS.* Compare that to 2007 when 17 homes and condos were sold and 2 lots.  Combine them together, and you're at a dead heat of 19 properties in each year

property: Lake Martin Tour Of Fine Homes in Trillium - 05/15/08 09:21 AM
Saturday May 17 you will have another chance to tour some really nice homes in Trillium on Lake Martin while benefiting the Children's Harbor.
This is not your average Lake Martin home tour, where they are all for sale and realtors are there breathing on you while you try and eat those weenies in BBQ sauce.  These homes are not (to my knowledge) for sale, they are just opening them up to tour.

property: To Predict Lake Martin Real Estate Market Cycle - Look West - 09/25/07 04:12 PM
Most Lake Martin real estate observers now recognize that the sellers' market is over, because all real estate is local.  In fact, we are in a buyers' market.  For those who are in doubt - a buyers' market means that the buyers have the advantage - IT'S A GOOD TIME TO BUY.
Market forces in real estate shift back and forth like any other market in free nations.  We can learn about what might happen in Lake Martin by looking at other markets - like one of the most high end markets in the nation - Silicon Valley.
Recently I came across an excellent post by … (0 comments)
