Walking around the office during the past week, there was this ongoing, unfamiliar sound -- or at least one that I hadn't heard for some time. Then I realized it was the telephones, which during the past couple of years I was thinking of putting on Ebay due to lack of use.
In addition, there were smiles on the agents' faces...almost like it was the Christmas season. But I looked out the window and saw that there was no snow, so I figured maybe it was just some kind of weird dream.
What a change from a year ago! No more negative real estate articles in the newspapers, lots of calls for showings on listings, and quite a few sales coming across my desk to review. I believe this market may actually have some legs.
From other reports around the state -- and across the country -- activity seems to be up in general. Even after the tax credit went away last week, the momentum seems to be getting stronger instead of fizzling out. A... more

After several years of nearly nonexistent spring markets -- due to both weather and markets trending in the wrong direction -- it feels like there is a little bit of life out there this year. It isn't a surprise that this awakening is beginning to take place, with a combination of depleted snow, low interest rates, and pent-up demand.
Although there is still a lot of inventory available, it is becoming quite obvious that waterfront properties in good condition and priced accordingly -- especially those with sandy shoreline and attractive settings -- are catching the attention of more buyers earlier than normal. The real benefit to buyers is that, unlike many years, sellers who are serious about selling are not playing the "let's see what we can get" game of pricing their lake places higher for the spring market. With slow sales since 2006, those who want to sell are realizing that they need to be attractive in both condition and price for a successfu... more

In past years, finding a lake place to rent for the summer season in Minnesota or Wisconsin was somewhat challenging. There were plenty of lakefront homes at affordable rental rates during the off months, but most everyone up north buys on the water to enjoy it in its liquid form. So unless the property was purchased with the intent of it being a rental in the first place -- and generally at higher weekly or nightly rates -- finding one of these for the best three months of the year was quite difficult!
Recently, however, things may have changed somewhat. The real estate downturn made it difficult for some potential sellers to move on with their lives during the last few years, and some of them have turned to renting until the lakeshore market picks up again. However, most are not interested in only renting for a few months, since it is quite a bit more difficult to find good renters in the off-season. And obviously, the going price is quite a bit lo... more

With another year behind us, it's always interesting to guess what the coming year holds. If we aren't beaten down enough from several years of falling real estate prices, we can always turn on the History Channel to find out just when the world is going to end so that we can formulate a plan to have just enough savings to hold us over until then. Soon, I'm sure they'll have the number of days left right on the TV -- just like in the Iran Hostage Crisis (only in reverse order) -- so that we won't have to add them all up on our own.
But then again, what if they're wrong? Then what? We'll wake up the next day only to find out we're broke...and now how are we going to buy that lake place we were thinking of a few years back?
Yes, it's all this constant guessing that keeps life interesting. So I'll make a couple guesses myself.
I'm guessing that the people who bought lake properties last year were pretty smart, because they pro... more

Sorry about the long delay since my last post. October was such a dreary, rainy, cool month up north that I just didn't have it in me to write an uplifting column, and these days I try to stay away from writing negative ones. On top of that, turning the clock back an hour only added to the misery. And when you feel like going to bed at 6:00 because it has already been dark for awhile, that really cuts down on production.
But the worst of the ugliness is almost over. Soon the snow will be falling and give reason to be outside shoveling or plowing, and a good blanket of white stuff seems to brighten everything up for a little while. At least until we get sick of it in early February, and long for ugliness again until the greenery of May...or June!
But you are probably more interested in real estate than weather reports if you have tuned into this website. So here is my report -- and prediction -- for this year and next:

Generally, by this time of year, we get a fairly substantial cool down in these early months of fall. But this year isn't like most. Our summer was kind of non-existent, and now each day feels like late July or early August.
In some ways we should be pleased that the snow isn't falling yet. But most of us - at least the ones who have to work or go to school each day - kind of feel like we got a little bit gypped. But this may be what the lakeshore real estate market needed!
Many of our agents at Lakehomes.com are as busy as they have been all year long...in fact, busier. And many of the lower priced sales we saw in the first half of the year have given way to higher priced transactions. It seems that quite a few of the buyers who got busy doing other things during the summer months - or maybe weren't real motivated because of the weather - now have a strong interest in finding a lake place before the winter winds head our way. Of co... more
