A Conventional wisdom says that you need to stay in a home on lakefront property a minimum of five years to ensure that you
recoup your purchasing costs. But with some markets soaring, this advice doesn't always apply for lakefront condos.

It's All About the Local Market for Lakefront Property
Market conditions play a huge part in any decision about when to buy. Lakefront property housing market values have varied
widely from region to region in recent years. While the Florida market has seen meteoric rises in lakefront condos values
over the past couple of years,some other states have not.The one thing that is constant though is that lakefront property
will always have a bigger demand than non-lakefront property.

If you are willing to buy a lakefront property home that needs a bit of work and, over time, you can afford to get it done,
 your lakefront property home could appreciate faster, strengthening your financial position.

If you have the down payment or equity from your current home, you still need to look at interest rates and at how buying
affects your taxes. You can't time the stock market, but you can time interest rate hikes, as they are a little easier to
predict. If they are going up fast, you can jump in before they rise too far; if they are already high, you will have to
calculate how refinancing in the future affects your budget.

What to Do First
If you are anxious to get moving and purchase lakefront condos or Florida lakefront property, be patient. You have a few
things to do first:

Go to open houses and get familiar with the area that you plan to purchase your lakefront property . When doing so let
the agent holding the open house know that you do have an agent representing you and hand them your agent's card so they
will be able to come back with you at a later time.
Also, talk to a mortgage broker that is familiar with the purchase of lakefront condos to get pre-approved. If you do not
already have an agent, interview agents and determine who is most familiar with lakefront condos and Florida lakefront
property. Review your credit report and scores with your mortgage broker to determine if any repairs are needed to your
credit report.
