Summer vacations just 40 minutes away

ALCONA COUNTY, Mich. — You may want to rethink travel outside the state this summer as one of the top ten places to vacation could just take you a 40–minute drive.

According to the National Association of Realtors, Alcona County made the top ten list for vacation homes.

Director of  Housing and Commercial Research for the National Association of Realtors Gay Cororaton said there are four factors that determine who makes the list.  She said they identify vacation counties when vacant homes account for twenty percent of housing stock.  Cororaton also said location plays a huge part in vacation sales.

She adds buyers included Michiganders and also people from outside the state.
