“Whether searching for a lake house as a Christmas splurge or dreaming of a lake getaway, Dallas residents are clearly looking primarily at lakes in Texas plus some in Oklahoma and Arkansas,” said Glenn S. Phillips, CEO of Lake Homes Realty. “We are still seeing strong interest in lake homes and lots, despite the current economy.”
Wondering if now is the right time to find the lake home of your dreams? Buying a lake house is the best kind of Christmas shopping, Phillips said.
“Increased inventory and more realistic pricing make it a good time to search for lake properties during the holiday and all year long,” he said. “Most of our lake home transactions are in cash, so increased mortgage rates are not as restrictive to our clients as in other markets.”
