Year End Sales Boost Activity on Delavan Lake

     A couple of late sales boosted the overall activity on Delavan Lake this year.  While lakefront sales have been slow for most of the year, two November transactions pushed the total dollar sales to over $8.5 million.
     The first sale was the mulit-structure property at 2666 Willow Point Drive.  Situated on Delavan's North Shore, this waterfront complex included a four bedroom main home, a five bedroom guest home and a two bedroom cottage.  Sacrificed at a bargain price of $950,000 the buyers purchased some instant equity and their plans for additional updates will only drive the value up further.

     The second sale was located at 3307 South Shore Drive.  This major lakefront estate was constructed for the late Edward A. Brennan in 2002 as a summer retreat for the Chairman and Chief Executive officer of Sears Roebuck and Co.

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
