Looking to buy an acre or more of waterfront land or a waterfront lot? Many people are taking this opportunity while real estate prices are low to buy waterfront land or a waterfront lot with the intent to add a manufactured home or to build a luxury home. Despite what many say, waterfront land is abundant in the market with many deals available.
While many buyers still focus on buying properties they can fix to either live in or flip when the market recovers, they lose track of other investments that lack some of the glamour. Purchasing land remains one of the most secure buys you can make, especially waterfront land.
When you choose to buy a piece of waterfront land, before you get to the closing table you need to find out all you can find about any restrictions that are present. No one wants to buy a piece of land thinking they can do something they want to do only to find out they can’t due to zoning and environmental concerns.
If there are any liens or easements on the property you’ll want to be made aware of it. Any liens on the land will have to be paid in order to get a clear title to the land you are buying. Any easements that exist will have to be honored to allow land locked owners access to their property.
Another thing you will want to consider is how the surrounding land has appreciated in prior years. The situation we find ourselves in now won’t last forever, and when the market does recover it will likely do so very quickly. Buyers who have been sitting on the fence waiting will find themselves rushing to buy up property worried that next month the price will be higher than this month.
