John, One point you might add to your list is need for buyers to check out potential purchases at different times of the day and/or the year. It is true in all markets, but it maybe more true on Lake Martin.

What does the lot look like at low pool?

What is the activity level like during prime boating/water sports season at a specific spot?

I hear so many folks complaing about boat traffic, big waves, jet skis, kaorke music, loud bands and etc. Some of us do not mind limited boat access during the winter but others want deep all year round water. What is the view of the sunrise or sunset both in the summer and in the winter? I have heard folks on this Forum totally flabargasted when they found not a drop of water in their slough in January. They could not envision growing mustard, turnip and other greens on the dry lake bed. Then there was one or two who wanting to start a revolution based upon karoke and pizza serving boat business in their slough.

It would be nice for a seller to have photos of the property when the water is down. The falls and winter seasons also shows the water wash off points of a lot or surrounding woods. Where and and who are the nearest fire departments and fire hydrants?

Do you have hunting clubs and/or huntings lands adjacent to your desired new property. Logging is and continues to be an evil around lake property. There is so much clear cutting going on with little effort to reforest the land.

Last and but not least (my pet peeve) is there a lot of litter on the pubilic right of ways. Are there signs to JimBob"s Lake Houes, advertising, adds looking to buy lake property and etc. nailed on every tree and telephone post in the neighborhood?
