Increased sales on Norris Lake
Is it the warm winter? The low mortgage rates? The beautiful weather? We don't know for sure - but real estate agents are scrambling to keep up with the demand. Buyers report that they can purchase a lakefront or lakeview home now for less than it would take them to purchase a lot and build a home. Home sales are up as more and more retirees and vacationers have been purchasing in these first few weeks of 2012 than at this time in 2010 or 2011!
This IS the best time to look at property as views have opened up and it is much easier to assess the slope of properties and walk raw land. Appointments are up, sales are up - will the rest of the year be the same?
