Slowing Down

I have not been blogging because there simply hasn't been time to do anything except real estate. The markets are different elsewhere, I know that, but here...!

Skaneateles is a boomtown, with so much to offer to so many investors and just plain people. The village homes that have come on are for the most part in excellent shape. The lakefront homes are magnificent, especially the higher end (in the millions) . The mid-range town and lake homes offer excellent opportunities to people who want to get into the market and make their own mark.

But so many homes, so little time! I am looking forward to showing investors coming in later this monthy f0r the Antique Boat Show a strong selection of properties, not just the three or four that typically come on in the summer months. This year there are well over thirty, ranging in price from $250,000 to several million. Land is available too, which is vastly different from other years. There are four multi-acre parcels down to waterfront on the west side, each promising a different aspect of the lake.

But it's slowing down, at least the frenetic pace I've been on. I look forward this evening to mowing my own acreage, eating at a reasonable hour, and knowing that all my people with whom I've worked so hard to find homes are mostly all situated.
