Spring Time on the Lake

I do enjoy the warm weather and love seeing everyone out on the lake. I have noticed in the last couple of weeks people are getting their boats in the water and having fun. There are still a few of us who won't let high gas prices get us down! If you are interested in owning property and joining us here on the lake please take a look at my website: http://www.andersonsonthelake.com or you can email me at: Jonathan@buylake.com.

Lake Hartwell Real Estate and the Stock Market

I hear people in the media talking about the Stock Market like it is the only way to gain wealth in this country. They constantly try to time the market to buy in the lows and sell in the highs. The same could be true for Real Estate on Lake Hartwell. Buy low sell high. When is the last time you actually enjoyed an investment? Not only can you make money when you sell, have a great tax deduction, but you also have a great place to vacation whenever you want. When is the best time to buy? Now.

Only 10 Feet Down and More Rain on the Way

Lake Hartwell has gone from 14 feet down in January to 10 feet down as of March 9, 2008. It is amazing what having some rain will do. More rain is expected in this area and the long term drought outlook is improving. If you would like more information on Lake Hartwell, visit my website at: www.andersonsonthelake.com.

What is the "Big Water"

I thought I would take some time and explain what the term "Big Water" or "Sailboat Water" is on Lake Hartwell. I get calls occasionally by people who are not sure what this means, but they know they should be asking.

The "Big Water" or "Sailboat Water" refers to the area of the lake from the Twin Bridges (Hwy 24) all the way to the dam. This area of the lake has no bridges, so this is where you will find all of the big House Boats and Sailboats. While being on Sailboat water is great, it is not necessary for everyone.

It is very important to work with a Realtor who is familiar with the bridges in the area and the clearance on each one. If you would like more information on this subject, feel free to email me at: jonathan@buylake.com

Bassmaster Classic

I have had several clients asking about the Bassmaster Classic on Lake Hartwell this weekend, so I thought I would post some information about it. This is great for Lake Hartwell to have the spotlight on it for a weekend. With spring around the corner, the activity here on the lake has picked up and having ESPN here for the tournament will attract lots of attention as well.

Here comes the Lake!

This is a follow up to my last entry regarding the lake levels. Lake Hartwell is just under 12 feet down today. We were around 14 feet down or so a couple of weeks ago, so good things are happening. I noticed on the COE website that we have had 1.51 inches of rain so far in February. I think that is great considering today is the 10th!

Even though I have seen the lake full several times, it still amazes me how good the lake looks at full pool. I am looking forward to the lake coming back, as many of you are, so we can all find something new to worry about because I am tired of talking about the lake levels :)

This is still a great buyers market and the people that are buying today are getting in at the exact right time. Don't miss out on this unbelievable opportunity to buy property on Lake Hartwell.

When is the lake going to be full again?

I wish I knew the answer to this question because I get asked this almost daily by different people. For the lake to come back to full pool several things have to happen. The most important is rain. We have had lots of rain lately and I hope and pray that it continues. I think the long range drought outlook for the Lake Hartwell area has improved and hopefully soon we'll be out of the drought altogether. If you are interested in tracking the lake levels, rainfall, outflows, and more on Lake Hartwell I would encourage you to take a look at the website for the COE. They have lots of statistical data that is very interesting.
