New home construction in the Grand Lake area has been at a very slow snail’s pace for the past three years but this year we are seeing signs that people are wanting their custom home built on a special waterfront lot, gated community lot, or golf course lot in the Grand Lake area. In the Grove area of Grand Lake I know of a least four custom homes just getting started and about four more well along in the construction process. Now does make sense to think building. Interest rates remain at all time lows, but we all know that this cannot go on forever. There are builders available to build your dream home and sub-contractors to help them, and we have a good inventory of choice lots to pick from.

Our Grand Lake Team at RE/MAX Grand Lake has several nice lot selections including Grand Lake waterfront lots in several good locations priced from $69,000- 295,000 depending on view, location, water depth, and surroundings. We have gated community lots such as The Preserve available with boat slips in a new marina, and we also have wonderful golf course lots in Patricia Island. While inventory is good now, once buying gets going to any degree will  wipe out all inventory with no new additions planned currently to pickup slack that could develop rather quickly.

Some of our waterfront lots on Grand Lake, gated community lots, and golf course lots are listed below:

10-2773 Grand Lake MLS is a bluff lot in Bernice on Grand Lake with utilities close by this lot has some of the best views on the lake and is priced at only $69,900.

10-1622 Grand Lake MLS is a waterfront lot in the Zena area of Grand Lake that offers solitude, great views, good water, and is ready for your new home. This lot is available at $82,000.

12-11 Grand Lake MLS is a nice lot North of Grove about 3 miles on Wolfe Creek with great beach area, nice building site, and place for a shop or rv building all for $135,000.

11-384 is a Buffalo Shores North waterfront lot with boat dock in place. Buffalo Shores North is one of Grove’s premier subdivisions and this lot in protected cove is priced to sell at only $139,900.

10-740 is a Patricia Island Estates waterfront lot with wonderful beach area, permit for dock in place, golf across the street, and sits in an elite area of nice homes. This lot is priced at $255,000.

10-716 is a Pointe West subdivsion waterfront lot. Pointe West is a small upscale area with ocean like water views in a 180 degree view. This lot has mature trees, gentle slope lot for walk out basement home or single level home. This lot is priced at $295,000 and may be the finest available waterfront lot on Grand Lake.

12-334 is a gated community lot in The Preserve located just outside of Grove. This area is all new upscale homes on lots with beautiful trees and terrian. This lot has a 30′x12′ slip in the community docks and is the best value lot available in The Preserve at $59,900 including the boat slip.

10-2399 priced at $57,500 and 10-2410 priced at $54,500 are side by side lots on the golf course in Patricia Island Estates. Both have excellent views, good trees, and level building sites. Patricia Island has no dues unless you join the optional golf club or swim and tennis clubs.

11-878 priced at $21,000 and 11-879 priced at $23,000 are smaller lots in Patricia Island Estates across the street from the golf course. These lots are flat and easy to build on and are very fairly priced for the upscale Patricia Island.

11-1201 is a Wildwood Farms 2.5 Acre lot in another upscale Grove subdivision. Give yourself a little elbow room here and enjoy all Grove and Grand Lake has to offer from this popular area. This lot is priced at $36,500.

09-1504 might just be the location for you if you want land and water to enjoy without having neighbors right beside you, want a real estate investment for the future you can enjoy now, or want to develop some land. This Zena area property features 38.5 Acres, over .8 mile of Grand Lake shoreline, and a 2400 sq ft shop building. The land has beautiful views, dock protection, and wonderful South Grand Lake water to enjoy. This fine piece of Grand Lake real estate is priced at $550,000.

12-1023 is about a mile outside of Grove with 3 Acres and 900′ of Grand Lake shoreline with city gas, water, sewer, and REC electric all close by. This parcel has 48 permitted boat slips ready for you to build and offers great views, nice trees, location, and is great for many uses. You may want an estate type waterfront lot, a development lot for condos, or developement lots for 15 homes. This property is one of the best parcels for any of the above stated purposes in the Grand Lake area and is priced at $1,250,000.

New Custom Homes Are Being Built On Grand Lake –We Have Some Great Building Lots For Your Dream Home is a post from: Grand Lake OK Real Estate with Joe Neill & Aaron Hughes

Today’s Tulsa World Business Section (March 21, 2012) has a bold and large type headline “Home Market on the Rise”  Also sub head line states “Sales, Construction Up”. The article goes on to say home sales for January and February are the highest since 2008 and 20.3% ahead of last year. Article says weather has of course helped but has a quote stating “Buyers are starting to regain their confidence and make purchases again”. We feel confidence has been the one key element holding back many buyers who have solid jobs and credit. The economy is improving and will improve more as people start to make purchases they have put off such as a new home.

The above news is for the Tulsa, OK area and is great news. On Grand Lake we have not yet seen this much of a jump in sales but things are for sure on up swing. We have found, the Grand Lake market usually lags the Tulsa market on the start since a large percentage of the home sales on Grand Lake are waterfront homes used as second homes on Grand Lake. We also do have a large market of retirees who move to Grand Lake for their retirement home on the lake. Retirees have been holding back and some working longer before taking the move to enjoy years of working and settling in to a relaxed life style on the lake. Many retirees come to Grand Lake because they know their married kids and grandkids will love to come visit them in such a great setting. Grand Lake has access to three major airports all within an hours drive which is very handy for todays families strung out all across the country. We have excellent health care with the new Integris Grove Hospital and wonderful health care professionals. I saw an email forum one day this week where one writer in the forum was telling another, “don’t wait too long to retire and enjoy the good life, do it while health is good and you can enjoy some wonderful years”. I thought how true this is.

We feel like the spring and summer selling season on Grand Lake will be very good this year and is just starting. We have a nice inventory of waterfront homes, golf course homes, and lakeview homes on Grand Lake to choose from with many at very attractive prices. Prices are better than we have seen in years and interest rates remain at all time lows. It almost seems like a no brainer to think buying that family lake home or retirement home now. These are good reasons to buy a lake home on Grand Lake now.

If you would like to know more about Grand Lake real estate, please contact our Grand Lake Team at RE/MAX Grand Lake, Aaron Hughes and Joe Neill. We know the lake area, the MLS listings, and where the good deals are. Contact Aaron at aaronhughes@remax.net or 918 801-5645 or Joe at jneill@remax.net or 918 640-3300.

How About A Grand Lake Waterfront Home for Christmas is a post from: Grand Lake OK Real Estate with Joe Neill & Aaron Hughes

People are coming to Grand Lake in NE Oklahoma for retirement. Just this week, the last full week of October, 2011 we have sold a waterfront retirement home to a couple from Western Oklahoma. We have showed the area and are in talks for a new lakeview home for a couple from Texas wanting to retire to a quiet area with four moderate seasons. Last week we got a contract on another waterfront home from a Tulsa couple who will use the home for a second home on lake for a year or so until it becomes their retirement home on Grand Lake.

Next week we close on a neighborhood home with nearby boat ramp with a couple moving here from Waterloo, Iowa. They have relatives in the area and look forward to moving back to the area they lived in earlier years.  We also have a Buffalo Shores North home under contract for closing in late November with another couple moving to the area.

In addition to the sales above, interest is picking up from people in different areas of the country who see the value in Grand Lake retirement homes. Why, do you ask would one want to move to the Grand Lake area? Many reasons but a few are:
