Our Top Criteria for Buying a Lake Home

Key Factors in Our Real Estate Search

Have you read my recent “99 real estate problems” post! If not, I’d recommend reading it before diving into this blog post for more context!

Today, I wanted to walk through our list of lake home criteria. After all, beyond the market concerns, we also have a laundry list of expectations. Shocker, haha!

A Tory Burch Fall/Winter Look

Typically, I err on the side of matchy-matchy, but when I came across this Tory Burch fall look, it was an immediate “yes.” I love the eclectic blends of ivories, blues, blacks, and reds. Best of all, each piece is versatile in and of itself.
