Season end price reductions on Delavan Lake

     As usual, the end of the summer season brings some nice price reductions on lake homes in the area.  Delavan Lake is no exception with reductions being seen in across the board from lake cottages and condos to massive lakefront estates.
     Let's start with the massive.  Located at 3307 South Shore Drive, is the estate of a former Sears Roebuck and Co. executive, designed and built for the family as a private retreat.  The home is perched on 200 feet of frontage and boasts six bedrooms, eight baths and 10,000 square feet of living space.  Originally offered for $3.4 million, the home has been recently reduced to $2.95 million.

     On the other side of the lake, is 1531 Cedar Point Drive.  This North Shore property has 60 feet of frontage, has a classic lake home feel and offers six bedrooms and five baths.  The front porch takes in panoramic views of the lake and opens up to a spacious deck area.  The property started on the market at $849,500 and has now been reduced to $799,000.

     Condominiums on the water are also seeing some price adjustments.  One in the Geneva Landings complex, located at 2124 Landings Lane has just been reduced to $224,900.  After coming on the market at $229,000 the owners of this two bedroom, two bath unit made the small concession.  The unit has a gas fireplace, vaulted ceilings and a lakeside deck.

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
