Delavan Lake Property

  In 2008 I joined a family real estate business that had three generations of ownership. During the years there, I was fortunate enough to sell more properties than any other agent in the company. They have now sold out to a huge New York company so I have started a new real estate chapter. With my father being in the business, and now my oldest son, we are willing to fill the gap of a locally owned, family real estate business for Walworth County, WI. We look forward to continuing to assist the families and businesses of Walworth County and Delavan, WI with their real estate needs!

Real estate sales around Delavan Lake continue to prove challenging. Buyers are frustrated as properties for sale are hard to find and those available are selling quickly.  During the first half of the year, there were eight lakefront sales compared to five in 2020. For lake access homes, we saw 25 sales in 2021 and 20 sales in 2020. Condo sales were exceptionally strong with 17 sales so far this year. Last year, there were only five condo sales in the first six months.  Prices for lakefront homes ranged from $300,000 for channel frontage to $1,150,000 for a remodeled four bedroom on South Shore. Lake access properties traded as low as $70,000 for a three bedroom needing much repair in the Delavan Highlands and peaked at $630,000 for a well-maintained four bedroom 3,500 square foot home that came with a deeded boat slip.  Lake views from East Drive Channel Front home Condo sales started at $25,000 for a condo/hotel room in Lake Lawn Resort and topped out at $330,000 for a penthous

       The Delavan Lake real estate market has remained remarkably tight over the first quarter of 2021 with prices continuing to move up and the number of homes sold at low levels due to the lack of inventory.   Many are seeking lake properties, but few are to be found.      For the first quarter there were 12 homes and condos sold with lakefront or lake access.   This compares to nine in 2010 and 15 in 2019.   Of the sales, two were on the main body of Delavan Lake.   One on the North Shore for $920,000 that needed extensive updating, and one on the South Shore for $1,150,000 that was remodeled and ready to use for the summer.   The North Shore home was a four bedroom on 60 feet of frontage while the South Shore property was also a four bedroom on 63 feet of frontage.      For those seeking a Delavan Lake property, the options are very limited.   There is one home currently listed on the main body of the lake.   It is a new construction listed for $1.4 million and it is already u

       What a unique year 2020 was for Delavan Lake property sales!   The drastic reduction in homes available pushed prices close to record highs and most of the real estate that was available saw multiple bids when it came on the market.      In 2020 we had 17 sales of lakefront homes compared to 20 in 2019 and 15 in 2018.   There were 52 homes with lake access purchased compared to 49 and 45 the prior two years.      Prices for lakefront homes ranged from $299,000 for a remodeled two-bedroom on Browns Channel to $3,700,000 for a North Shore lakefront estate with over 1,000 feet of water frontage. The least expensive sale with direct lake access was this two-bedroom home on Browns Channel that leads directly into Delavan Lake      Lake access homes ranged from $78,500 for a tear-down in the Delmar Subdivision off of South Shore (the floor of this home was not even connected to the wall!), to $700,000 for a four-bedroom two-story with lake views in the Viewcrest Association.
