Are the prices of second homes or vacation homes like
My next question is are they truly motivated to sell? In most cases yes the sellers are but they are willing to hold out in order to get the best price for their homes. Which has caused home prices around Lake Hartwell to maintain there value. Of course we are seeing less sells. Buyers are coming up to the lake thinking they are going to get a deal, half off, or buy a foreclosure. That is simply not happening here yet. Most of the home owners here don’t have to sell. Also I have only seen a few foreclosures on the lake so far maybe four. This is a big lake with 962 miles of shoreline. That is pretty impressive seeing the news with all of the foreclosures in cities across
I am sure as the summer draws near some sellers will give up their quest for the perfect offer on their home and reduce the price to meet the buyer expectation. At that time buyers will claim their victory of finding their lake place at the best possible deal.

Prices of homes are dropping. Primary homes, secondary homes, vacation homes, etc. The only niche we found where prices really haven't dropped much is in luxury homes ($2M and up). We have 4 deals going on right now in Avila (a community where football players reside and top CEOs) and sellers are not budging but are getting their price. I suppose people with money will always have money regardless of the state of the economy.
