2020 was undoubtedly an insightful year as far as house plans are concerned. The pandemic prompted all of us to stay home more than we could've ever imagined. And even though it's now 2021, many of us continue to hunker down at home. Much like our Southern Living-Inspired Community, our houses have also become integral places where we live, work, and play.
The way we work is quite different now due to the pandemic. Many of us work from home and are likely to do so for the foreseeable future. If you live at Harbor Club, your house probably already has an impressive home office and a highly-functional "Zoom Room." But whether you work remotely at Harbor Club or from anywhere in Lake Country, sometimes you have to get out of the house.
You’ve heard the old saying by Isaac Newton, “What goes up must come down.” Well, the opposite is also true, especially for home mortgage rates...what goes down must come up. We’ve been enjoying rates at record lows for years, but now we’re starting to see an uptick. What’s prompting them to rise? Here are some key indicators to watch:
The final numbers are in, and Harbor Club on Lake Oconee has once again experienced stellar residential sales at our Southern Living-Inspired Community. Despite 2020’s COVID-19 pandemic, or perhaps because of it, our real estate sales jumped 31.7% compared to 2019. It’s also the sixth year in a row that our award-winning community has attained a double-digit percentage increase in sales. Talk about unprecedented.
Due to the pandemic, Americans are buying more homes in exclusive resort communities (like Harbor Club.) We've certainly seen an unprecedented uptick in sales this past year. But, what's prompting so many people to buy in resort-style communities, especially during this era of COVID-19?
As this unusual year draws to a close, we're reflecting on all our blessings and accomplishments in 2020. Yes, despite the pandemic, we've had a good year. We're thankful for so much here at Harbor Club -- especially for our fantastic residents and members. Our Southern Living-Inspired Community continues to be an incredible place to live, work, and play.
