Worth 1,000 Words

What are you waiting for?

On a recent trip to The Torch Lake Sandbar, we had the opportunity to bring a couple of the neighbor kids along for the ride. This is a shot of Brendan Endres taking a leap of faith off the back of our boat into 3 feet of water. Take a close look at his expression. You'd think he just cliff dove off a 100' sheer face into inches of water. This photo is perhaps the best example I can find of why most people are really looking to buy property in Northern Michigan. With so much focus on finances and the economy, it's easy to lose track of the real purpose of having your own piece of Homewater. While many people wait to time the elusive "bottom" of the market, their kids are getting older and may miss their opportunity to feel the rush Brendan is feeling in this shot. Prices have steadily declined throughout this season and it's spurring a lot of late season deals. As more inventory is removed from the market, it's sure to drive more competition and prices will indeed begin to increase. Just keep in mind the real reason for your search as you're going through the process and decide how long you're willing to wait on moments like these.
