Water Depth and Navigability
Water depth determines the types and sizes of boats that can safely access a property. A buyer with a larger cruiser has different requirements than someone using a pontoon, fishing boat or personal watercraft.
Sellers should be prepared to explain the approximate depth at the dock, the depth through the canal or channel and whether bridges, shallow areas or seasonal water fluctuations create practical limitations. Consistently navigable water and convenient access to the lake can broaden the buyer pool and strengthen a property's market position.
