Delavan Lake 1st Half Summary - 2012

     Sales of Delavan lakefront properties are down significantly for the first half of the year while lake access and condos are showing gains.  After near record sales in 2011, enthusiasm for the lakefronts has wilted in the summer heat and many sellers appear ready to make a deal. 

HOME SALES
     For the first six months, there were six lakefront properties sold and 15 lake access property sold.  Last year at this time, there were ten lakefronts sold and nine lake access properties sold.  The lake access properties ranged from a $32,101 two-bedroom foreclosure to a $300,000 two-bedroom with vast lake views in the Viewcrest Subdivision.  The lakefronts ranged from a $311,000 three-bedroom foreclosure on the North Shore to a $1,300,000 four-bedroom, three-bath estate with 150 feet of frontage also on the North Shore.

CONDO SALES
     Delavan Lake condominium sales are doing better due to the movement of some foreclosures.  There have been eight sales this year compared to four last year.  Sales ranged from a $30,000 condo/hotel unit (half of all condo sales have been foreclosures) to a $300,000 three-bedroom, three-bath unit in the Delavan Gardens that included a boat slip and an attached two-car garage.

CURRENT MARKET HOMES
     There are 100 single family homes on the market with lakefront or lake access on Delavan Lake.  This is down from 109 last year.  The lake access properties start at $69,950 for a two-bedroom in Delmar Subdivision and increase to $529,000 for a custom three-bedroom, four bath home with lake views and a boat slip.  Lakefront homes on the main body start at $299,000 for a one-bedroom just off of Brown’s Channel to $1,999,900 for a six-bedroom home with 132 feet of frontage on North Shore.  This home has been on the market since 2008.

      Sales of Delavan Lake properties remained constrained for the first half of 2023.    The lack of inventory was the main culprit along with home owners reaching for excessively high valuations.      For the first half of the year, we saw three lakefronts sold compared to only one last year.    Interestingly enough, the value of the one sold last year exceeded the total sales price of the three sold this year.      Lake access sales were equal with 19 homes being sold this year and 19 being sold last year as well.    The price range for lake access homes sold this year started at $124,000 for a small cottage in the Delmar subdivision and increased to $460,000 for a three bedroom ranch in the Ravenswood subdivision at the west end of the lake.    The home in Ravenswood originally listed for $545,000.      Lake Access Condo sales slowed to 13 in 2023 compared to 20 in 2022.    Units ranged from $43,400 for a condo/hotel room in the Lake Lawn Resort to $410,000 for a two bedroom condo
