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

Several weeks ago I got a call from one of my past buyers. His family had purchased an incredible, historic property from me near the Canadian border just a couple years back for a cabin, and he said they loved the area so much that now they were thinking about finding a permanent home in Northern Minnesota, also. Since they currently live several states away, it was obvious that the lure of the northwoods had taken hold, and they knew it would be a positive change in their lives.
During the past two years their kids had grown fond of all the brand-ne... more

There was a comment recently on this blog, which was really more of a question on my thoughts pertaining to the difference between the lake cabin market and the lake home market. Or if there is a difference at all.
One thing many of my clients have heard me say over the years is to make sure they were buying a cabin where they want to have a cabin. In other words, if it is going to be your getaway you may want to know that it feels like that ahead of time.
Although there are many wonderful properties on lakes throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin, some areas have turned into what feel like residential neighborhoods with the majority of the owners living there full time. Those people many times have to get up for work each day and don't enjoy loud parties, laughing and music late into the night out their windows.
But cabin owners often have a different goal, and that is to wind down away from their daily routine...which sometimes m... more
