Lakefront / Waterfront Home Prices and Values – effects of foreclosures and short sales on Clear Lake in Lake County, Ca…

Nov. 14, 2007
News about defaulting home mortgages is continuing to spread around the country. For real estate in Lake County, California, foreclosures and short sales have mostly affecting homes valued from $200,000 to $400,000. This also includes many waterfront channel homes around Clear Lake.

When looking at the lakefront homes around the lake, there are very few in foreclosure or the short sale process. This may be partly because of the higher values of lakefront homes and that fewer owners got involved in the 'creative loans' that had been available a few years earlier.

It appears that the waterfront channel homes may be affected much more than the lakefront homes when it comes to selling. There usually are more waterfront channel on the market for sale as compared to lakefront homes. So along with the higher numbers of waterfront channel homes for sale plus the compounded effect of foreclosures and short sales, it is very competitive and challenging to sell a home on the channel.

Here is a link to a list of Waterfront Channel Homes and Lakefront Homes for sale on Clear Lake in Lake County, Ca.

More options in buying a waterfront home on Clear Lake in Lake County, California?

Sep. 1, 2007
When you think about buying a home in Lake County, a lakefront home may be your first thought, especially with Clear Lake standing out as such an attraction. After looking at homes around the lake, you can see there more options available. Here are some simple descriptions of home categories in the Lake County area. You can follow the links to see examples of homes for sale in each category.

A lakefront home is located directly on the shores of Clear Lake or even a private lake or reservoir. A good way to check on the actual location of a lakefront home is to look at a parcel map or an aerial map such as the Lake County GIS website, just enter the address or APN (assessors parcel number). You can also see lakefront homes currently for sale around Clear Lake at; www.LakeFrontHomesOnClearLake.com .

A waterfront channel home is a more affordable category to consider. In most cases a waterfront home will be located on a man made channel that leads to Clear Lake. They can also be located on a year around creek that leads to the lake. To view a variety of waterfront channel homes, go to Clearlake Oaks, Clearlake Keys Homes For Sale and follow the link;Waterfront Channel Homes in Clearlake Oaks, Clearlake Keys.

Another option to consider is ‘Across from the Lake + a beach’. Usually the home will be on the opposite side of the road from the lake and will include a lakefront parcel. Sometimes the lakefront parcel may be big enough to be developed, others may be small and only allowing lake access (beach, pier, dock, boat lift, etc). You can see what is available in this category at; Lakeport, Lands End, Corinthian Bay Homes For Sale, follow the link; Homes Across from the Lake + Beach in Lakeport, Lands End, Corintian Bay.

Lakeview homes are a category that can fit in with the above categories (except on the channel). Lakeview homes are also a big category by themselves, whether located close to the lake or not. Homes with a nice view of Clear Lake can be very enjoyable, especially during the sunrise or sunset. Take a look here to see lakeview homes currently for sale; Kelseyville, Soda Bay, Buckingham, Homes For Sale, then go to; Lake View Homes in Kelseyville, Soda Bay, Buckingham.

One more category to consider is a home with beach rights. There are many area’s around Clear Lake that offer beach rights, some more developed than others. Some may include a boat ramp, pier, dock, etc. Some will be more basic, such as a small beach area for swimming or picnicking. You can see examples of homes for sale with beach rights here; Clearlake, Clearlake Park, Windflower Point Homes For Sale, then go to; Homes with Beach Rights Clearlake, Clearlake Park, Windflower Point.
