What is your waterfront actually worth?
Online estimates are wrong about waterfront more often than anywhere else, because the value lives in the things they cannot see: frontage, exposure, bank type, and the condition of what sits below the waterline. If you are even curious, I will put together a private read on your home. No obligation.
