Being a realtor means we sometimes try to help our clients balance the pros and cons of an old house vs a new house with their personal preferences. The Lake Martin real estate market is no different in that we have older homes (or lake cabins) for sale and new homes.

Deciding which to buy involves asking yourself a few questions:

• Do I want older trees and established landscaping?
• Do I want to enjoy my lake home immediately or do I want a fixer upper to make my own?
• Am I addicted to HGTV shows like Home Town, Fixer to Fabulous or Lakefront Bargain Hunt? Or do I cringe when I watch Holmes Makes It Right and don’t want to make big repairs because of someone else’s mistakes?
• Do I want lower utilities, no repairs or renovations?
• Do I want the amenities that come with a newer home in some neighborhoods such as a golf course and pool?

I helped Wendy and her husband find the perfect Lake Martin home for them. Watch the video above to hear why Wendy loves their new home in StillWaters.
