 I think they are. 
 
 
Below is a photo of a wrinkled and rain-soaked sales brochure of a lakefront house sold not far from me in central Florida. This nice and light-filled house sold after being on the market for 6 months @ 135,000, and eventually sold for less than $107,000. 

  The new owners share a sturdy dock just 20-feet from their back door. 
I especially liked the house for its workshop, long porch overlooking the lake, cathedral ceilings, metal roof, a modern kitchen which overlooks the lake from a window installed in a corner (!)—and its striking antique mahogany bedroom doors, which are ten feet tall. 
 
 
The empty lot next door is about the same size and is also for sale presently: bring $40,000 and a building contractor. 
 
Towards dusk, go putt-putting around a big lake:
