About Copperopolis' Lake Tulloch!

I have thought about this many times. Fishing is like real estate. Sometimes you catch them and sometimes you don't. Sometimes you hook them and loose them. Sometimes you hook them and actually real them in. It can be fun just feeling them nibbling on the hook. It is exciting. But it is more fun when you real them in and land them right in the boat. That is your reward.

But whether you land your fish, catch the biggest one, catch the smallest or catch the most, just enjoy it and have a blast!!! These eight trout, (actually 9 were landed but it was in the bottom of the cooler and we didn't see it to take the picture) were caught last Sunday night at Lake Tulloch, California.

So how many times do you have to show property before they even nibble???? Who knows??? The more time spent the more fish you will catch. Fishermen/women try every type of bait they can think of. They fish at the crack of dawn, in the late afternoon and even after dark.

If you are in a rut with real estate.......TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT. Work at different hours, go different places and meet different people. USE DIFFERENT BAIT. When a client nibbles and you loose them, don't give up, put that bait back in the water and keep trying. Don't ever look back or you might set yourself up to loose the next one. And the next one might be a BIGGER FISH.

HAPPY FISHING! Let me know how you do......in real estate and fishing.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO LAKE TULLOCH? I SELL REAL ESTATE THERE. WE ARE KNOWN FOR OUR LAKE AND WATERFRONT PROPERTIES. IT IS TRULY AMAZING. LAKE TULLOCH IS ONE OF THE FEW LAKES ANYWHERE THAT YOU ACTUALLY OWN FEE TITLE TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF LAND UNDERNEATH THE WATER. THAT IS WHY YOU CAN BUILD OUT OVER THE LAKE.

THERE IS A PERMITTING PROCESS TO GO THROUGH IN ORDER TO BUILD DOCKS, SEAWALLS, ETC. THE ENTITY TO GO THROUGH IS TRI-DAM. THE LAKE FLUCTUATES DAILY APROIMATELY TWO TO THREE FEET 365 DAYS OF THE YEAR. THE LAKE IS AT IT'S FULLEST CAPACITY ALLOWED FROM MEMORIAL WEEK-END THROUGH LABOR DAY WEEK-END. IT IS AT IT'S LOWEST LEVEL FROM NOVEMBER TO MARCH. THE DRAWDOWN PROCESS IS A GRADUAL ONE.

THERE ARE A VARIETY OF WATERFRONTS PROPERTIES, SOME ARE IN COVES WHILE OTHERS ARE CLOSER TO THE OPEN WATER. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN WATERFRONT PROPERTIES AT LAKE TULLOCH PLEASE CONTACT MYSELF @ roxnrog@caltel.com IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF A TRUSTWORTHY LENDER PLEASE CONTACT janetg@rpm-mtg.com

In my opinion our market here is at the bottom. It reminds me of the market in 1992 when I first got into the real estate business. We have several foreclosures now in the Copper Cove Subdivision and an abundance of short sales in the Calypso Bay Community. It is very interesting that the Lake Tulloch Shores Subdivision, (better known as Poker Flat) has had only one short sale and one foreclosure recently.

The Sellers who are serious now in selling have dropped their prices accordingly. All in all there are some excellent buys out there for just about everyone; from first time home buyers to investors. The market WILL climb back up even though it might take a few years. There will be money to be made once again.

If Sellers are concerned with selling low, it is only a positive that you now can purchase low and save on your property taxes. Those property taxes go on forever.

Now is also a wonderful time to pick up a decent priced waterfront home. Lake Tulloch is our #1 attraction!!! Water sports, good old R&R and don't forget FISHING.
