Golf Course & Lake Views ~ Is There a value?

Golf Course and Lake View homes in Lake Arrowhead do have a value.  I know some will wager that it only has a value to some people, and that might be true.

However, you can’t compare a home for $195,000 that sits on a main road with a view of the home behind it and no other  view to a home that is very similar with a Lake Arrowhead lake view for a $100,000 more.

The home on the main road is going to be noisy and when you go to resell the home you are going to battle with the home being on a busy, main road.  The Lake Arrowhead lake view home sits on a private road in a quiet neighborhood, is in better condition and will have a higher resale value in the future.

This past week on broker tour there was a home in the Lake Arrowhead Golf Course area, listed for $364,500 with a stunning view of Grass Valley Lake and the golf course.  This home lives like a golf course frontage home for a fraction of the price it would take to buy an actual golf course frontage home.  We have many clients who love the golf course area and have spent the money to enjoy this lifestyle.

Here is a shot of the view ~ What is your thought?  Most Lake Arrowhead golf course frontages are on the market North of $900K and this is $364,500 for a better view than most Lake Arrowhead golf course frontages and right down the street from the Lake Arrowhead Country Club.

Where do you start on your search for a home in Lake Arrowhead?

Where do you start on your search for a home in Lake Arrowhead?  Starting your search should be a simple click of your mouse.  But, what are you looking for?  A getaway cabin with seclusion?  A home with a view of the lake?  A home with a dock or perhaps a lakefront home in Lake Arrowhead?

What ever your want is in a home in Lake Arrowhead, having an expert in the area is vital.  I am a local Realtor in Lake Arrowhead.  Most of my clients find me online, we build a relationship over the Internet and get to know one another before meeting in person.  Between daily blogs, e-newsletters and our Facebook Page you will be able to keep up with the Lake Arrowhead Lifestyle.

Our website http://www.ArrowheadLifestyles.com, does have a property search.  http://www.arrowheadlifestyles.com/home-search-f25215.html

And, many clients take advantage of that, but I can set up a personal search for you that is specific to the things you find important in a home.  Garage?  Three Bedrooms?  Vaulted Ceilings?  Just to name a few things ~ 

Mapping out your search.  Having a good map of Lake Arrowhead also helps identify which areas might appeal to you more.  Is being close to the Golf Course important to you?  Or perhaps being close to the walking trails or the Village?  Having a Realtor in Lake Arrowhead that can pinpoint that criteria can help you a great deal on a big decision.
