Laury and Vic at the Lake

06/07/2026

Yes, the lake levels are down from full pool. And yes, we have seen lake levels even lower in recent years. Lake homeowners are watching levels and moving docks accordingly.

The upside for people thinking about buying? You will know what you get. Seeing a prospective property during lower lake levels is an opportunity.

Using an experienced agent who has sold during extreme droughts gives you an advantage when buying lake property.

Put our experience to work for you.

Luxury is not one market—it’s a collection of micro-markets.

After 26 years specializing in lakefront real estate, we can tell you with certainty: local expertise isn’t optional at this level—it’s everything.

A luxury condo market in Greenville behaves very differently than a waterfront estate on Lake Hartwell, a mountain retreat in Blue Ridge, or a private estate outside Atlanta.

The difference? Knowing exactly where leverage exists—and how to position within it. In lakefront real estate, broad trends inform while local insight is what delivers results.
