A Pond By Any Other Name....

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 Beal, Inc College Station, Texas

In Texas we call them ponds.

People love ponds.  One of the most frequently asked questions I get on land/farm and

ranch listings is "Does it have a pond?"

I have been told that they are called different things in other parts of the country.

When conducting my MLS searches for properties with ponds I have noticed that in the

comment sections some of my fellow realtors will state things like, "Good place for a pond"

etc.  It makes in come up in our searches if a keyword search has pond in them.  HMMMMM.

Food for thought.

We call them ponds, too. I get amused when someone calls this a lake. :)

In Florida it would be called lake front property and demand a higher price.  Well at least it would before the crash.

I'm jealous that you have water on your properties in Texas.  Sometimes I get a puddle on the side of the house, but I would love to have a pond, brook, stream, creek, etc...

I'd also love to see who I am talking to!  http://activerain.com/blogsview/1463284/do-you-have-a-profile-picture-can-i-see-it-

Vic,

 

We love our ponds.  Now if I had a picture as cute as yours I would show it. :)

Stacie,

A lake in Texas has to be Big.

Larry,

Now that is a thought that never would have occurred to me.

It is a pond in the midwest too.  Lakes are bigger here...
