Lakefront Real Estate

The Sun is not setting on Lake Wallenpaupack Home Sales.  Normally at this time of year sales start to slump off.  Not so this year as the market remains strong on lakefront sales.  This is a great sign for a recovery around the lake for sellers, and a note for buyers.  In a recovery the first thing that happens is increased volume of sales, than price's start to increase.  So if you were thinking about a lake home for the 2014 season... Now is the time to find your lake home!  As always if you or a friend or family member are looking for that lakefront home.  Give me a call! Dave Rottkamp 570-620-8027 www.poconolakeproperty.com

The Lake Wallenpaupack Real Estate Market is on the rise.  This year we have seen an increase in sales if not prices on the big lake.  This fall that continues along with a slight uptick in the values of lake front homes.  Interest rates continue to be very low, and inventory is good on the lake.  If you are thinking about a lake front home now is a good time to start, before prices do increase for 2014.  If I can help please contact me!

The Lake Market is Heating up!  For those of you who are trying to call the bottom and buy at the bottom, you will have to look in the rear view mirror.  This years lake market has made the turn.  The first thing that happens in a market that will rise is increased traffic.  We have seen so far this year to date a 20% increase in buyers, that has translated into a 10% increase in pending and closed sales on the lake.  This year will probably stay flat in terms of price, but next year because of this years performance you will see a rise in price, and interest rates are starting to rise as well (very modestly).  To This date 24 lakefronts closed, 7 pending, and 75 lake rights houses closed and pending as well. So if you want that great deal, start looking now!  Get in before the increase in price and interest rates.  This is the Time to get that lake vacation home.
