During the last few years FEMA the Federal Government agency that oversees updating Flood Insurance Rate Maps has been adding more properties to the maps and removing some properties.

If you would like to protest the FEMA maps that may have put you in a position that now finds your lender requiring you to buy Flood insurance you may have options. Surveyors may do elevations of your property and structures that could allow you to appeal the FEMA maps. Another result that could  from the  elevations of your structure in relationship to the high water mark is that you may be eligible for a preferred premium rate for a Flood policy.

Great price for 200 feet of lakefront living on lake Penesal.  This serene and quiet lake is great for kayaking and relaxing. Home has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, fireplace and boasts over 1600 SF of living space. Large lot with approximately 3 acre.

I encourage you to get out and buy your lakefront dream property, prices won’t be this good for some time. The market is ready to steam ahead as new home starts are expected to make 20% – 30% gains this building season. Waterfront listing inventory is declining. 2012 may have been the year of prices finding the floor on price. 2013 may be the year to buy before prices head upward!

Waterfront property is a great place to park your savings. Be creative, make a large down payment on your mortgage purchase and take advantage of the great interest rates. Another good reason to move forward is to take advantage of real estate property taxes are all time lows on many properties, call me for details.
