Prime Time To Buy Lake Property

OR .......  4 reasons to shop Shell Knob Lake homes in the winter

lake

1. Less competition

     Winter is the least enjoyable time to be evaluating lake property.  Everything looks more inviting when springtime blossoms, or lakes invite you to cool down in summer heat.  Even the best homes can feel cold on a snowy day.  It is the astute individual who views property when winter winds blow.

2. Sellers More Cooperative
    A homeowner who hasn't experienced a showing on their property for two or more months is usually eager to accommodate a buyer's needs.

3. Prices Flexible
     There has not been a big drop in prices in Shell Knob, around the quiet end of Table Rock Lake, however,  a serious buyer can often negotiate and buy more house for his money than would have been possible two years ago.

4. No foliage To Hide Defects
     Winter is also an excellent time to purchase lake lots and land.  The trees are bare of leaves and the rolling, sometimes steep, land is better viewed to anticipate where to locate wells and septic fields, as well as the future home.
