Lake Barkley Homes (Cadiz: houses, purchase, new construction)

[wmac62]

I have looked at alot of homes on Lake Barkley near Cadiz and North of the 68/80 Bridge. Iam not trying to sound mean but why does the market support such a high price for dumps. Most are dated out of style and priced extremely high compared to other homes at large lakes through out the United States. Does anyone have some insight to this market and why new construction and home prices are so high? I like the area but not sure if a purchase in and around Cadiz would be a smart move in what appears to be an over priced market?

Just about anywhere like this, the deal is location, location, location. The closer to the water, the higher the price.

My husband and I were in your situation about 4 years ago until we found our lake house in Cadiz. You just have to keep looking and know they really hike those list prices up. Ours was listed for I want to say $260K but we paid $210. Not sure what you're comparing it to or what price range you're looking at but we found it to be rather inexpensive. Just keep searching, you'll find something!

I appreciate your input we will continue to look and hope to find something near or in around the state park

If you're checking realtor.com or one of the realtor's online sites, look for houses on Blue Springs Road. That's the road that goes from 68/80 towards the state park but closer to town than the main 68/80 entrance. It goes by the Boots Randolph golf course.
