Subject:   Higher winter water = lower property values?

well I don't know what "the opinion of realtors" is but unlike you I don't  trust them in general on broad based issues like this.  I am not sure that they have addressed the right question.

The question is this.  Assume for the sake of argument that there are currently 500 houses with sufficient dock water and view water year round.  Those 500 houses/lots are at a premium because of the water issue.  

No assume that the APCO proposal is adopted by FERC thereby adding another 4500 houses that have sufficient dock and view water through out the year.  

With ten times as many houses with dock and view water the price of the 4500 will go up but the price of the 500 that always had it will go down.

The realtors and the power company say that the value of the property surrounding the lake will go up, and it will.   But not necessarily all of the property.

Just as if there was only one 1919 dime it would have a very high value to collectors.  But if a boat load of 1919 dimes were discovered the value of that single dime would plummet.
