Why are there so many unsold houses around Lake Kedron?

The real estate market in Fayette County is sluggish, as it is in many other places too. Many Fayette residents work or used to work for Delta Air Lines, and they are understandably cautious and a bit worried after taking pay cuts and seeing pension and other retirement benefits slashed. That affects the whole county's economy and the "mood" of the county. It's not yet spring, and the real estate market should pick up in a few weeks, when dogwoods are in bloom and parents think of relocating their children for the next school year.

You might expand your horizon a little bit by checking out ajchomefinder.com and homes with acreage, because there is still attractive lakefront property in the county.

The houses are way overpriced. The "lakefront" lots really are not. They have a huge buffer that prevents you from actually using the lake. In fact the city and county are being very aggressive now in pushing "lakefront" property owners out of the buffer. Things like lawn chairs, canoes and firepits are being confiscated and the owners fined. Sound like real lakefront to you? Carefully question your real estate agent and be sure she doesn't work for the developer if you want honest representation.

Real lakefront is on Lake Peachtree. On the west side of the lake you can have a boat, dock and freedom to use the lake. On the east side you can look at it, but there are several places to launch a boat.
