Fewer Vacation Properties for sale and an increase in prices means owning your own piece of paradise in cottage country is becoming unreachable for some buyers. The dream of owning a Waterfront Vacation Home is becoming more of a dream than a reality. Chatham-Kent, located in the middle of the Great Lakes, is still one of the few areas with affordable pricing.
With prices showing a large increase in recreation properties north of the Greater Toronto area such as Orillia, Muskoka, Lake of Bays, Parry Sound or Haliburton plus the added headache of the traffic jams on the summer weekends, some buyers are taking a serious look at some alternate destinations like Chatham-Kent or even relocating to a year round affordable waterfront home in this area. Many people are working from home today with Technology and International Companies making living in a certain destination one of choice instead of necessity.
Chatham-Kent is the place! It's unique proximity to the Great Lakes and just a little over 2 hours west of the greater Toronto Area on Hwy 401 makes it a good choice. It is an easy drive. Once you reach the other side of Hamilton the traffic thins and you begin to relax.
Chatham-Kent is a family orientated community with several beach areas and vacation destinations close by. It is an ideal location to raise a family, start a business or retire to.
