Central New York is home to many lakes from small to large including the finger lakes and the chain of lakes at Old Forge in the Adirondack Park.  Realtors and other professionals will generally quote a price per lake front foot as a measure of waterfront site values however it is more complicated than that.  For example a 100 front foot property with a level sandy beach differs in value from a 100 front foot property with a steep incline to the water.  We also have to consider the view, the depth of the water and the total size of the site.  The subject improvements will of course also help to determine the value but that is generally less important than the actual site itself.  That is why it is important to utilize the services of a certified appraiser with experience in determining the market values of these various factors when determining the market price of waterfront properties.  Hope you all have a great day!
