Waterfront Home Sales - February Report

By
Industry Observer with Nature As Neighbors

Waterfront Home Sales - February. Whether it's a river, bay, creek or pond, waterfront homes have a built-in natural asset many buyers want. Some people only think of waterfront homes during warm months. But, there are many buyers who recognize their value during winter months. Waterfront properties can be a great source of reflection and solace during fall and winter seasons. Plus, there are fewer competing buyers!

Buying or Selling Homes on Waterfront

Clark County offers many opportunities for waterfront living. But the challenges of regulations, market demand, and a small inventory (especially during the winter) have made this a limited, and specialized market. Regulations designed to protection our watersheds restrict the development of shoreline properties with tight footprints, setbacks, and mitigation requirements. Even creeks are regulated in certain protected watersheds, so this can cause frustration for anyone trying to build or expand a house along a natural waterway.

Whether you are looking for, or want to sell, waterfront property, you should work with a broker who has experience in this specialized market and knows how to achieve that perfect outcome for you.

What a great photo of a waterfront home. It exudes peace, happiness and a friendly solitude. There is definitely something about being on, or viewing, water that is good for the soul.

Hello Debb,  Great information and I am sure there has to be great fishing in that river that would attract someone that loves fishing.

Good morning, Debb... it's interesting to see that the average price of the now listed homes are roughly twice the price of those pending and sold.

Environmental setbacks have been plaguing some of my waterfront property sales. They've become very restrictive in my neck of the woods.

Happy Saturday Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD

Selling Homes Changing Lives

Debb & Bernie - your post reminded me of Sellers I had last year. They sold just about everything they had and bought a cabin in the mountains by a stream outside of TX. They are retired now and all they want is peace and quiet with lots of reflection and quality time together with their dog, living in harmony with nature and wildlife. I talked to the lady this past weekend. She said they are still very, very happy and have no regrets. 

Buyers are Clark County are in exceptionally good hands when they use Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD
