Prices Continue to Push Higher on Delavan Lake

     With the sale of two new lakefront homes on Delavan Lake this month, prices are showing upward pressure not seen since 2007.  That is not to say that prices have returned to the market highs, just that we are seeing solid support for quality homes on the water.
     The last two sales include a stunning five-bedroom East Coast-style water front property with sweeping views of the entire lake and architectural input that can be felt from nearly every room.  This home was designed for the lake with multiple entertaining spaces that look out on the water and flow from one to the next.  The main level greets guests with an open great room, formal dining area, gourmet kitchen and living room all looking towards Delavan Lake.

Delavan Lake First Half 2023 Real Estate Update

Image
      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
