     No one needs to go without a Thanksgiving dinner around Delavan Lake this year.  Once again, the Walworth-Lakeland Elks Lodge and the Village Supper Club will be providing free meals to anyone in the Delavan Lake area that is alone or in need.      The event will be hosted at the Town of Delavan Community Park, located at the intersection of South Shore Drive and Hwy 50 on Delavan Lake.  The event will begin at 11 am and continue until 3 pm in the afternoon.      There will be plenty of turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, coffee, desert and companionship available.  In addition, the Thanksgiving Day football games will be featured on a large screen television provided by the Dish Dealer of Delavan.      The Thanksgiving meal is available to anyone in need of food or companionship over the holiday.

     If it is on the water and has two bedrooms, it sells.  That seems to be the mantra for Geneva Landings condominium units this year on Delavan Lake.      Over the last twelve months, three units on Landings Lane have come on the market and all three have sold.  The recent sales created a void in the hottest condo properties in the Delavan Lake area.  That is until last week, when two additional units came on the market.      The units are located at 2124 Landings Lane and 2146 Landings Lane.  Both units have two bedrooms, two baths and a lakefront deck overlooking the Delavan Outlet.  The main level contains a master suite, kitchen, laundry and living room space.  Upstairs is a loft bedroom and a second bathroom for guests and family members.

     The Delavan Lake real estate market is tightening up with inventory shrinking and prices finally increasing.  This year included the highest lakefront sale price in four years and a clearing out of bargain condo/hotel units. HOME SALES      For the first nine months, there were 13 lakefront properties sold and 31 lake access properties sold.  Last year at this time there were 17 lakefronts sold and 25 lake access properties sold.  Only eight of the sales were on the main body of the lake this year.  The lake access properties that sold this year ranged from a $26,000 three-bedroom cottage in the Delmar Subdivision to a $385,000 three-bedroom cape cod in Assembly Park that featured a large front porch and full basement.  The lakefronts sales ranged from a $215,000 three-bedroom home with 100 feet of frontage on Brown’s Channel to a $1,325,000 seven-bedroom, seven-bath South Shore estate that included a guest house near ...

     So I purchased this Google Glass computer thing.  Call me a pioneer or geek; either way, they are a great way to showcase property in the area and I may not know how to do much with them, but they are pretty handy for taking a video while stepping through a home.      The newest listing for Delavan Lake, is a four bedroom estate on over 150 feet of level lakefront off of  Delavan's south shore.  As you drive in the private drive through wooded landscape and lush lawn, the home appears in front of you, stately, yet inviting. 3525 South Shore Drive on Delavan Lake      After parking in the circle, you enter into the large tile foyer and immediately are drawn to the lake with expansive water views and a spacious waterfront deck.      On one side of the main level is a formal living room with natural fireplace and walk out to the deck.  On the other side of the main level is an informal billiard r...

     There is no doubt about it.  The best value around Delavan Lake right now are single bedroom units in the Delavan Club and Geneva Landings Condominium Complexes.      The one-bedroom unit sales have fallen behind the two-bedroom units causing owners to drop prices and offer credits for carpeting and new appliances. The outdoor pool at the Delavan Club gives residents an inviting way to cool off.      An example of one of these values is at 1489 Delavan Club Drive.  This one-bedroom unit has a north woods feel with wood paneling, gas fireplace and rustic decorating.  The unit walks right out to the water and is an inviting retreat for someone looking for a carefree way to get away and enjoy the lake.      Priced at only $165,900, the unit includes a one-car garage and multiple complex amenities such as an outdoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, tennis courts, basket ball court,...
