How bargains on luxury property have fallen into our finger tips. At the luxurious Currachee Club near Lake Hartwell you will find located at 110 Timber Ridge Trail a 5BR/6Bath on golf course and lake for a paltry $1.299 million. 
What? “Where is the affordable aspect of this Hank,” you might question.
This is what I am seeing in different locales regarding luxury property. Banks are not as willing to unload these REO’s (real estate owned) properties at bargain basement prices as they once could afford to do (before TARP).
The NAR stated last month that whereas a few months ago distressed property sales were being discounted from list price by as much as 20-25% on average, the average discount for buying a foreclosure today is about 15% of list. This is happening due to pressures put forth by properties listed for sale that are “not” distressed, but have had to lower their prices quarter upon quarter to compete with these “values” on foreclosures and now it is finally catching up with the bank owned listings.
The prices that the average “Joe,” who has a seller’s disclosure in hand and will pay for items to be fixed on the house before culmination of sale, is offering his house for now a days is getting more competitive with the foreclosure sales competition on pricing.

If you enjoy the lake, and a little more temperate climate than that of the “sand blast” heat of the beach, you might try renting a home on an area lake for vacation this year. It also couples nicely with the idea of a lake home purchase at some point in your life. Why not rent different homes on different parts of the lake to get a feel for where you want to be on your favorite lake as well as a feel for various neighborhood communities? It is a nice way to “try it before you buy it.”
VacationRentalBuyOwner has been a favorite Web site of mine for many years now. After doing a text search for Lake Hartwell I find 112 rental homes on Hartwell. There are 84 properites on Lake Keowee for weekly lease. In Georgia, on Lake Oconee you will find 124 properties for lease, some near or in the famed Reynolds Plantation. I have never tried this site out before, but GreatRentals.com seem to have a nice layout on their site. On Lake Hartwell the numbers are far fewer, in terms of the number of lake homes for rent, but I do like the layout of their site. They provide option tabs to help you determine which side of the lake you might be interested in to property types (cabin, condo, cottage, house), things to do, how many each properties sleeps, and all the way down to how many bedrooms to make your search easier. 
If you are a buyer in our market, these are probably the best buying conditions in 30 years! If you would like to search for Lake Hartwell Homes in GA please take a look at listings on the GA MLS, the largest Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in the southeast! On this MLS search solution you can search every listing on the Georgia MLS for real estate on Lake Hartwell or in your Georgia town! If you would like to look for property on Lake Hartwell on the SC side of the lake or on Keowee please contact me and I will refer you to a trusted real estate broker who makes his home on the SC side of the lake!
