The real estate market
The market ranges from traditional homes in the town center to lake-view residences and developments, with prices that can exceed those of neighboring inland municipalities thanks to demand from foreign and retired buyers. Land is also available in expansion areas toward the western shore.
Steady demand from foreign and domestic retirees drawn by the climate and lakeside setting sustains an active market for residential housing and mid-term rentals. Appreciation on lake-view or shoreline-adjacent properties tends to hold up well compared with other areas of the state.
Housing aimed at foreign retirees, including mid-term rental arrangements, is one of the area's most established opportunities. There is also potential in developing lake-view residences in the municipality's expansion zones.
