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:

1. Quiet and Peaceful small town living with big city services and a great lake to enjoy.

2. Great Health Care in Grove’s, the largest city on Grand Lake, new Integris Grove Hospital with quality doctors and support medical teams.

3. Water sports such as Fishing and Boating.

4. Great Churches and Civic Clubs.

6. Beautiful Fall Scenery

Patricia Island Estates is a wonderful golf and lake community on Grand Lake at Grove, Oklahoma. Grove, OK is a well known spot for retirees to settle and enjoy the good life on Grand Lake. Patricia Island Estates is Grove’s premier golf and lake subdivision. You will find homes at Patricia Island priced from $175000 to over one million dollars. There are waterfront homes with terrific views, golf course homes again with great views, and lesser expensive patio style homes. The area is very pretty, homes are all very nice and well kept no matter what price point they are in and there are no dues to pay unless you elect to join the golf club or the swim and tennis club. Both of these clubs offer low dues and many hours of enjoyment but again if you don’t want to golf, swim, or tennis then no dues.

We have one waterfront building lot on Patricia Island to offer at $255,000 with a GRDA dock permit for a 30′ boat slip in a deep water channel. The lot has 150′ of waterfront and is a level to very gentle slope to the lake. It is Grand Lake MLS #10-740.

Golf course lots start at $54,500 for a great lot, Grand Lake MLS #10-2410. Interior lots close to golf course and swimming pool begin at $21,000, Grand Lake MLS #11-878.

Real Estate on Grand Lake in NE Oklahoma has been more active in 2011 than the previous year. Grand Lake MLS data shows the most growth in sales over 2010 to be in homes above $300,000 in price. The total number of homes for sale are about 3% lower than a year ago. Sold dollar volume is up 14% over last year. I do not put alot of stock in the average sales price figure but none the less, the average sales price was up 10%.

All in all, there are a good number of waterfront homes to pick from. However, with little new building activity the past three years we can see a time where good desireable waterfront homes will be hard to find. The Oklahoma economy is picking up nicely, with most tax collections up over 10% from a year ago showing a healthy economy is coming back  in Oklahoma. Unemployment in Oklahoma is in the 5-5.5% range which is not far from normal for Oklahoma.

What does all this say? We think it says the economy is improving, real estate prices while mostly stagnant the past 3 years will probably start to move up next year with selection of good desireable properties not as good. Interest rates are at all time lows. We think this adds up to a good time to buy real estate on Grand Lake. If you have been thinking retirement home on Grand Lake or a second or weekend home on Grand Lake now might be the time to take the plunge before everyone catches on and prices go higher while selection goes down.

For help in finding your dream property on Grand Lake, call the Grand Lake Team. We know Grand Lake real estate and can help you make a wise market choice as well as find just the right place for your dreams. Call Aaron Hughes at 918 801-5645 or aaronhughes@remax.net or Joe Neill at 918 640-3300 or jneill@remax.net. You can make an investment choice that helps your net worth as well as an investment in your friends and family with property on Grand Lake.

Grove’s hospital is less than two years old and state of the art.  Doctors are caring and known for their excellent practice of medicine.

Lendonwood Gardens is a botanical garden that is a must see for anyone visiting you once you move here. Har-Ber Village, the frontier town musuem is also a must see.

Now is a great time to buy Waterfront Lots on Grand Lake! is a post from: Grand Lake OK Real Estate with Joe Neill & Aaron Hughes

We have a very productive 238 Acre farm/ranch for sale in Northeast Oklahoma between Fairland and Grove, Oklahoma. This farm is located on a blacktop farm to market road, is nice level ground that has both grass and farmground included, and a nice hay barn or machine shed is on the property. It has been a dairy farm in the past but is best suited for cow/calf or stocker operator. You would have a mix of fescue and bermuda grass and the farm ground could be sown to grass but I would use for winter wheat or rye for more pasture. It has just the right amount of trees for cattle shade but to also make this a pretty place. It is a short distance to Grand Lake for fishing and boating fun. Grove and Fairland are both just a short drive away for shopping. This land does not have a home on it but the owner has a very nice newer farm house on additional land, 20 or 40 Acres, that he would sell with the 238 acres.

Now for the best part, this property was priced at $2100 Acre but now owner has lowered price to $1950 per Acre to  help facilitate a quick sale. This is a great deal for land in this area. Land east of Grove is not any more productive, only 5-8 miles closer to Grove but sells in the $3000-4500 per acre price range. To the north of Fairland close to the larger city of Miami you will find land priced at $2500 an Acre or more. Fairland is a great small town community and as said this land is productive. The difference is being closer to the bigger towns. This ranch would make a good starting place for a young ranching family or would be an excellent retirement farm for the couple that would like to run a few cattle in retirement and be close enough to Grand Lake to enjoy boating and fishing.

Grand Lake MLS 11-1567 is one ranch you need to see. Don’t put your money in gold as an investment and stocks are shakey. Why not invest in something you can enjoy and make money on as it continues to increase in value. Give the Grand Lake Team at RE/MAX Grand Lake a call today to schedule your showing. Call Aaron Hughes at 918 801-5645 or aaronhughes@remax.net  For Joe Neill call 918 640-3300 or jneill@remax.net   We both have farm, ranch, and cattle backgrounds and can help you determine what is best for you in the way of investment land, pasture land, or farmground in Oklahoma.
