Grove, OK on Beautiful Grand Lake


February, 2011 we just came thru two record setting snow storms and record low temperatures but in Oklahoma fashion today we are 70 degrees. The Grand Lake area normally gets 9″ snowfall per winter, about 2″ in December and another 7″ in January. Some years we will have a March blizzard that comes and goes fast. Once or twice in 20 years we get a dose of winter like this year.

I love four seasons and we have four pretty seasons. While I hate snow, I must this record snow while piled high and cold outside, looked as pretty as a picture looking out our picture windows toward the lake while enjoying the warmeth of our furnace.

What I like about now, is you can tell with longer days that Spring is not too many weeks away and we will again be enjoying my favorite time of year with dogwoods and redbuds in bloom. People will be fishing, boating, and sea-dooing again and the sail boats will be out.

If you are thinking about a retirement home, Grove, OK on the shores of beautiful Grand Lake is a wonderful place to call home. We have quality health care with our one year old Integris Grove Hospital, friendly churches and civic clubs, and good shopping and dining. People welcome newcomers with open arms. We see people move here from both coasts and several from northern states that have brutal winters every year.

For a weekend second home on the lake there is no place like Grand Lake. Many weekenders enjoy Monkey Island with several gated communities that take care of the lawn so you can enjoy your time off. We have golf course homes, waterfront homes, and lakeview homes. We also have a nice selection of waterfront building lots to select from. There are nice homes or condos in all price targets from about $60,000 to the millions. You can search our Grand Lake MLS listings at the button above. Look over some and give us a call.

For more information on Grand Lake real estate call the Grand Lake Team-Aaron Hughes and Joe Neill. For Aaron call 918 801-5645 or aaronhughes@remax.net. For Joe call 918 640-3300 or jneill@remax.net. We offer true team service to those we work with and are proud to be a part of the RE/MAX Grand Lake office in Grove, OK.

The Grand Lake area in NE Oklahoma normally has about 9″ of snow during the winter, a couple inches in December and about 7 inches in January, February or March. This year we have had maybe 15 inches and it seems like a lot for us. Anyway everyone I know of is tired of winter and ready to think spring and summer lake fun.

Is This The Year For You To Buy Grand Lake Real Estate


Here it is January, 2011 and it is cold across much of the United States. However we are seeing a warming of the inquiry into real estate in the Grand Lake market. Our internet searches and pages viewed have been up all month as people sit at home in the cold wishing for warm weather to enjoy the lake. Our real estate values have not taken the big hit much of the U.S. did. Waterfront homes have been pretty much flat the past three years, however we did see a minor uptick in prices for 2010. Residential homes bought at the very peak of the market in 2007 have seen a drop in price of about 10% average but have also seemed to level out in price.

There are bargains to be had from people needing to sell this winter for various reason such as loss of a job, death in the family, or other family change. We will see these bargains become fewer and fewer as we get in the early March beginning of the 2011 Spring Selling Season. We have not seen widespread foreclosures like other areas of the country and only a few distressed sales. Interest rates are low and prices are stable with what we believe is an upward trend into the next few years. This might just be the time to invest in an investment that could appreciate in value like stocks but we are certain it will appreciate in family and friends values as you make memories on Grand Lake. We have a great selection of waterfront homes, golf course homes, gated community lake front homes, or lakeview homes to choose from. Enjoy a cold evening searching the Grand Lake MLS at our search button above. Then give us a call or email to find out more or let us send you what we think our the buys in your target price range are. You can reach Aaron Hughes at arronhughes@remax.net or 918 801-5645. Joe Neill at jneill@remax.net or 918 640-3300. We are the Grand Lake Team at RE/MAX Grand Lake in Grove, OK. We hope to hear from you soon.

Grand Lake’s Monkey Island Shangri La Update


The Shangri La Country Club on Monkey Island at Grand Lake continues to work at a fast pace in the redevelopment of the historic country club. Owner, Eddie Gibbs has pulled out all stops and is fast transforming the Shangri La into a new glorious phase. The dry fall and winter we are having have not been good for wheat farmers but for working on a golf course it has been terrific. The pictures above were taken on December 30, 2011 and each picture is a different machine working.

It is such a positive feeling to see so much work going on in what is considered by many to be trying times. Confidence means alot to people’s actions and I for one believe that is an area many in our country have lost. Yes, we have many people out of work and hurting but the way to get the economy rolling is to invest and spend prudently and then jobs and a better economy will come for all. Now is a great time to invest in real estate on Monkey Island at Grand Lake. Sellers have not raised prices yet as many had sat a long while waiting on buyers to come and they needed to sell for various reasons. Now, however, the supply of unsold homes is becoming in short supply very fast. Soon, prices will rise and I think in the next three years we will look back and say I sure wished I had invested in Grand Lake property back in 2010 because prices will be higher. We have gated community waterfront homes, golf course homes, luxury homes, and simple lake cabins for both weekend lake homes or fulltime retirement homes. There is something for everyone’s taste and budget.

You can search for real estate bargains at our Grand Lake MLS button above. Pick out some favorites and then call our Grand Lake Team to help you zero in on the best areas and best buys. Aaron Hughes and Joe Neill, the Grand Lake Team at RE/MAX Grand Lake in Grove, OK know the lake and show and sell the entire lake area. Contact Aaron at 918 801-5645 or aaronhughes@remax.net. Joe can be reached at 918 640-3300 or jneill@remax.net We hope to hear from you soon.

Polo Club on South Grand Lake Oklahoma


The Polo Club is a new waterfront development on South Grand Lake not far from The Coves. Both of these home developments are gated communties on the lake. The Polo Club has some of the most breath taking views on the lake. They offer both waterfront and lakeview homes or lots. Personally, I like the waterview lots best. They are less expensive, have a commanding view of an ocean like view of Grand Lake, and a nice yard. The area offers community boat slips with a protected wave break for an additional cost.

The Polo Club started slow with the economy being slow and not all ammenties in yet but I just learned today that all but one spec home has been sold and several custom home lots have also been sold. I do not know the exact number sold but it must be close to ten total now. The docks are in now and a swimming pool will come in the spring of 2011. This gated community is off and running now. You can get a new lake home with the best views on Grand Lake starting at about $350,000 for a nice 3 bedroom/2 bath home. If you have been wanting a new lake home on Grand Lake I would take time to check out the Polo Club. This is a great area for a retirement home on Grand Lake or a weekend home on Grand Lake. Call the Grand Lake Team of Aaron Hughes and Joe Neill at RE/MAX Grand Lake to schedule your showing. You can reach Aaron at 918 801-5645 or aaronhughes@remax.net. Joe at 918 640-3300 or jneill@remax.net. You might also enjoy searching Grand Lake MLS listings at the button above. We are here to help you find just the right home on Grand Lake.
