Waterfront wonders

Again in our area from Palmetto to Sarasota Bay waterfront is hot, hot, hot again.

It seems a day doesn't go by when someone is asking about purchasing a waterfront home.

If you are in the hunt for waterfront here a couple of things to consider in Manatee and Sarasota counties.

If your dream home is on a canal find out the depth of the canal.

Canals fill in over time. So that dream yacht you might want to dock behind your home you may only be able to get in our out during high tide.

Ask your agent specific questions about the water in the area you are buying.

You may find the area has a lot of shoals before you can maneuver to open water or a marked channel.

If the home is on open water check to make sure there is a channel that in front that will handle your boat depth. Open water doesn't necessarily mean deep water.

Boating can be great fun around here and a little research can help you get the best out of it.

All the best
