I think it's implied by the "disclosure" piece as "we all know what Braun Bay is like in summer *wink*."

I've seen days that are over the top, for sure, but much more often—outside of the big holidays—it's been a fine place...with or without the fam.

In either case, I still wouldn't see negligence on the part of a realtor if it wasn't (or was) brought up.

As someone who visits sandbars, would you want to live there?

No, but it's more about me being an introvert than it is anything else.

I know a bunch of people who would LOVE (in capital letters) to live there.

I also can't imagine someone spending that much money on something they didn't check out closely.

You're trying too hard

Do you know "a bunch of people" with $2MM or so to drop on a second home who would "LOVE" to live there?

It's not about the money at all—the question revolved around the location.

So, YES—I know a bunch of people who would love a location like that. They're the ones with big groups around their campfires every night...while I sit with my wife listening to Mark Knopfler and looking up at the stars.

Different strokes and all that.

(Oh, and the fact that all those sandbar-adjacent homes sell without an issue is pretty good evidence, right?)

WE have friends who bought in a rafting area years ago and didn't realize how many boats could fit in front and over the years it got busy. Had they known I don't think they would have bought there. They go away every weekend.

You/they don't think it would sell if they put it on the market? I'm pretty confident it would.

I think it would too-- Particularly if the buyers didn't look at it on a weekend and weren't told. They have been talking about selling, guess we'll see.

How sad.
Your friends worked hard and saved and sacrificed to be able to buy a waterfront home. And every year they pay their taxes so others can come and drive them out every weekend.
And now they’re thinking about selling.
So much for the American dream.

I would not have taken you for an introvert Think. Just the opposite.

My students say the same thing.
I'm a social introvert—I enjoy connecting with small groups over large ones and find restoration in solitude.

This forum, along with the anonymity, feels small given the number of active posters, but even then there are times I don't interact with posts I see as small-talk (draining) or go long times without posting because I need distance to refresh.

So, I can totally see why some people would abhor sandbars and owning property in busy areas, but I also know that half of humanity thrives on socialization.
