37 lakefronts traded hands last year and some of these saw competitive bidding from multiple buyers. Occasionally it was coincidental but more often than not it was due to a price reduction. I estimated values on all of these and the list prices were usually dropped exactly to or just below what I perceived as market value. In each of these cases the properties went into escrow in a matter of days. There were only two cases where I believe the buyers overpaid for the properties. I am watching at least one (very nice) lakefront which is poised to be the next one to drop price significantly and attract a lot of attention – feel free to get in touch to discuss these or anything else about the market.
