I use the bubble method when I trying to explain to people at shows.... it isn't difficult to design a home especially a lake home. If its under $500,000.00 and its a lake home then it WILL have either these 3 facing the lake... masterbedroom greatroom and kitchen, or these 3 ...masterbedroom greatroom and dining room. Either that or you have a really ugly lake.

From there its usually geography and dollars that determines what else happens.

Once you get over 1/2 a million then it gets more interesting
