TYLER TEXAS WATERFRONT HOMES PRICING BASICS

With Tyler area waterfront homes, as with other real estate, it’s all about the location. Most of the above lakes have everything from rustic weekend getaways to high-end luxury homes.

Buyers choose their lake based on what’s important to them. For example, Lake Palestine is a fisherman’s paradise. Almost every year at tournaments someone reels in a catch for the record books.

Lake Tyler is smaller, but it has fewer of the stumps that make Lake Palestine so good for fish. If you want to be in the desirable Whitehouse school district or have unobstructed room for watersports, you might prefer to be on Lake Tyler. Whatever your preferences, The Pamela Walters Group can help you find the Tyler lakefront home that fits your goals and budget.

In general, open water costs more than waterfront lots in a cove. Some East Texas waterfront homes are in exclusive neighborhoods surrounded by pristine yards and beautiful architecture. Others don’t have neighborhood covenants or restrictions that dictate the kinds of structures in the subdivision.

A home’s location on the lake and what’s around it factors into the price of the home. But waterfront homes continue to increase in value no matter where they’re located. Lakefront is something they’re not making any more of.

WHAT LAKEFRONT HOMES COST AROUND TYLER

People from outside East Texas are astounded to find weekend getaway cabins or lakeside cottages starting around the $130s. When they’re priced that low, they probably need some TLC or have limited square footage, but they’re an affordable way to experience lake homeownership.

Some roomier single-family homes start in the $300s, particularly in coves and on smaller lakes. Search waterfront homes for sale in the $500,000 range and you’ll start to see waterfront homes with more than 2,000 square feet and more updates. Some have open patios, a boathouse with electric lifts, and storage for lake toys. Many also come with decks and piers for fishing and enjoyment.

Lakefront home values climb from there, adding amenities and features at every level. There are exquisite locations like The Cascades of Tyler and gated Brown’s Landing on Lake Palestine. They contain true luxury homes with gourmet kitchens, panoramic views, large lots, and exclusive locations.
