Price Reduction on Delavan Lake waterfront home

     If you want to be directly on the water, but haven't quite gotten to the point where you can afford a million dollar property, a lake home on a channel or tributary may be a great starting point.  Delavan Lake has a number of properties on three lake access points that give the lake life opportunity for a fraction of the price of the main body.
     The three areas for Delavan are the Inlet, the Outlet, and Brown's Channel.  The water coming into Delavan Lake either comes from the Inlet, which is fed by Jackson Creek, or by Browns Channel, which is fed by Browns Creek.  The water then leave the lake through the Outlet where the Borg Road Dam is located.
     For properties on the Inlet and the Outlet, a boater has to contend with a bridge in order to get to the main body of water.  For those living on Browns Channel, it is a clear shot to the main body without a bridge to be concerned with.

     An example of an affordable home on Browns Channel can be found at 4320 East Drive.  Built in 2005, this charming two-story has wood floors on the main level, a first floor master bedroom, open concept kitchen and living area and a cozy natural fireplace.

     The upper level is designed with an open loft sitting area, open loft bedroom space and a traditional bedroom with full bathroom.  The loft area looks down into the great room with views of the fireplace and water frontage of Brown's Channel.

     The advantages of this home include carefree maintenance of its cement board siding, affordable price of $309,000, and best of all... your boat just steps away from the patio.  Owners like to brag that they leave the car keys on the counter, pick up the boat keys, and head right out to the lake.
     Nestled in the safe, social community of South Shore Manor, the home also has access to a park at the end of a peninsula that jets out into the main body of Delavan Lake.  At this park you will find a beach, picnic area and a fishing pier.  If the same home was available on the main body of Delavan Lake, it would be offered for twice as much.

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
