If not, keep reading and we’ll show you why you may want to sell your deep suburban cookie-cutter for a perfect Colorado Lakefront Property.
Temperature Control
In most of Colorado, 2016 has brought record highs of over 100 degrees and a state average of 88! Inner city temps have climbed even higher surrounded by heat radiating asphalt and cement. However, those who reside near a waterfront of any kind can attest that the temperature isn’t as oppressive. As a matter of fact, if you are driving along one evening and feel a sudden burst of cooler air through the window, the it’s a good bet that you just passed a lake, pond, creek, or even a large drainage ditch! Being a good conductor of heat, large masses of water tend to moderate the sweltering and blow cooler breezes across the homes that are located nearby.

Unless you abandon the house for a year, there is virtually no way that a home on the lake will decrease in value. Most waterfront homes defy the trends of other landlocked realty markets. With regular maintenance and an occasional upgrade, you are virtually guaranteed to sell your home for a profit. Houses on the beach are in high demand at any time; usually with a long list of potential buyers that are willing to a wait a few years for one to pop up on the market.
Activities, Activities, Activities
Do you own a boat? Waterskis? Fishing pole? Swim fins? When you own a lakeside home, a trip to the beach is just outside. There’s no need to pack everyone in the car, load up the coolers, make a list of emergency supplies, and close up the house for the day. You have all of the recreation activities available to you a few steps away. Many lakes even have annual public events! Depending on the size of the lake, you may be able to simply toodle around in a community paddleboat or you might find a docking slip for a sailboat.
Your house will be where everyone wants to go for summer parties and BBQ’s and when the 4th of July comes around, it will probably seem like the show is just for you since lakes are a preferred spot for fireworks.
If you can find a home on the lake, you are virtually guaranteed to enjoy it. From cooler temps to fun recreations, a waterfront home will give you and your family a great place to live for years while making some wonderful memories.
