Want to live by the lake or ocean?
We move to Florida to be by the water, so why not live by the water? This is the lifestyle many of us would love! However, waterfront lots are limited and usually cost a premium to purchase. So if I can get more house away from the water why don’t I just do that?
Waterfront homes have an appeal unlike any other home you would own, and people who live by the water love it. So let’s look at the benefits of waterfront living:
The Premium Advantage of Waterfront Homes
over Non-Waterfront Homes
Waterfront homes keep their premium value
The number of homes that can be on the water is far less than the number of homes built on land (unless you live on a very small island). There for the lots are at a premium. It is said the premium could be as much as 100%, but in some cases this premium could be much higher. If you find a good deal on a waterfront home that has no basic flaws or flooding issues this could be a great find.
The view is always there just for you
Look out your window and what do you see? Another house? A city street? A fenced in yard? or how about your neighbor in his boxer shorts drinking a beer? What if that view was the peaceful shores of a beautiful lake or beach? The peacefulness of nature, the beauty of a sunrise or sunset, the wildlife that co exists with your environment, or even your own boat and dock. There is nothing that can inspire you more or give you more natural energy that a great view out your window or in your back yard.
Water sports and recreation are just a few steps away
Do you like fishing? boating? kayaking? swimming? Check out the lake and the possible restrictions that may exist, and find a property that suits your lifestyle. Get in the fresh air, take a deep breath and enjoy the warmth of the sun. Waterfront living allows one to know themselves better than any other environment.
