If you've been watching the market, you know things are moving—but not standing still. In the Lake Martin area, demand remains steady as more buyers look to invest in vacation homes, waterfront living, or a slower-paced lifestyle. Inventory remains relatively tight, which helps stabilize pricing even as national headlines talk about price drops elsewhere.
💲 Interest rates? They’re hovering in the mid-to-high 6% range right now (as of May 2025). While that’s higher than the historic lows of 2020–21, it's still a manageable rate—especially when you factor in Lake Martin’s long-term property value and rental income potential. Many buyers are choosing to marry the home and date the rate, planning to refinance later when rates improve.
✅ What this means for you:
Buyers: Now is the time to shop before summer competition heats up.
Sellers: Properly priced homes are moving—especially if staged and marketed correctly.
Investors: Rental demand is up, particularly for lakefront and short-term vacation homes.
If you're curious what your home is worth—or you're looking to make Lake Martin your home—I'd be honored to help you navigate this market.
