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.

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.

5. A Welcome to the Community Attitude From People Already Living Here

6. Beautiful Fall Scenery

7. Mild Winters on Average

8. Great Springs with Colorful Trees on Surrounding Hills

9. Great Summers to Enjoy the Lake (all your grown kids will flock to area to see you and enjoy Grand Lake with you)

Grand Lake in NE Oklahoma for Retirement is a post from: Grand Lake OK Real Estate with Joe Neill & Aaron Hughes

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.

Patricia Island Estates a Golf and Lake Community on Grand Lake is a post from: Grand Lake OK Real Estate with Joe Neill & Aaron Hughes

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.

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.
