retirement home on Grand Lake

Is Now The Time To Be Buying a Home or Second Home on Grand Lake

By Joe Neill | Published: January 23, 2012

There are many signs all around the country that the real estate market has bottomed out. No one can call the exact date the market will bottom but signs in distressed areas such as Florida show new life coming to homes. The Grand Lake area did not experience the big runup in the markets nor the big crash. Yes, our markets are cheaper than they were in 2006 and 2007 and you can find some real deals but no firesales. Sales in 2011 were better than 2010 and we expect 2012 to be better. Homes are more affordable than most anywhere in the country with many great reasons to buy on Grand Lake.

The best time to get a deal is when the perception of the market is it’s a buyer’s market. New home construction has been very very slow for 3 years now and selection of quality homes is good now but may not last forever. Most homes are in strong hands now with very few foreclosures in the Grand Lake area. Winter is a good time to get a deal and be ahead of the crowd to get your top choice of the selections offered. We know the Grand Lake MLS listings and can help you find the perfect place for your needs. You can enjoy searching our MLS at the Button above and start to get a feel for homes in the Grand Lake or Grove, OK area.

Give it some thought and if your financial house is in order and you are ready to retire to a more relaxed life style, then think Grand Lake. If you would like to own a second home on Grand Lake, now is also the time to be looking and buying. A waterfront home for retirement or a waterfront second home on Grand Lake can be a dream reached by you.

We also have a good selection of neighborhood homes in Grove, the largest city on Grand Lake. Grove is a great place to live in retirement. It offers a relaxed, laid back lifestyle, people who welcome newcomers with open arms, great healthcare, new member friendly churches and civic clubs, great shopping, dining, and many water sports and golf to enjoy with your free time.

For more information on how to make your dream retirment home on Grand Lake or that second home on Grand Lake happen call the team that knows how to help you find just the right place within your target budget and make it all happen without a lot of fuss and stress.

Four Grand Lake Waterfront Homes $400,000 and Under for Retirement Home on Grand Lake or Second Home on Grand Lake

By Joe Neill | Published: January 15, 2012

Good quality and good location waterfront homes on Grand Lake $400,000 and under are hard to find most of the time. The Grand Lake Team of Aaron Hughes and Joe Neill at RE/MAX Grand Lake in Grove, OK now have four waterfront homes listed in which any would be a great choice for your retirement waterfront home on Grand Lake or that second home on Grand Lake. Let me tell you a little about them.

Grand Lake MLS #2308 $379,000 South Grand Lake waterfront home in the gated community of Gran Tara. Home per county records is 2008 square feet with 135 feet of shoreline. This home has two extra lots included for added privacy. The private boat dock has a 30′ slip and jet ski pad and is in a protected cove for your comfort if this is a second home and you are away when a storm comes up. The home has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a loft area that could be additional sleeping area for kids. It is one home that just has that true lake feel to it. Large covered backdeck to enjoy lake views. Saltbox style and interior appointments just make for a great relaxed feeling. Dues of only $425 annually, yes I did say once a year, cover streets, gate upkeep, and clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis courts, picnic area, swings for little tykes, and boat ramp upkeep.

Grand Lake MLS #12-72 is a new Grove waterfront home listing with 6 bedrooms/4 baths and is set up for your entertainment enjoyment for family and friends. This $400,000 listed home has 3546 square feet per county records and is located in a very private spot but only minutes to downtown Grove. The two slip dock is again in a wide, deep protected cove with views out to the highly sought after Honey Creek Arm of Grand Lake. Again, this home would be great for a retirement home on Grand Lake with enough bedrooms all the kids and grandkids would have room to come visit at once or this would be a wonderful second home on Grand Lake with room for family and friends to enjoy the summer weekend on the lake with you. And if all this isn’t enough, you have to see the brand new kitchen with rich cherry finished cabinets, new stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops.

Grand Lake MLS #2373 is a Grove waterfront log home again located in a private and protected cove just of the highly desireable Honey Creek Arm of Grand Lake. A log home just says relax and enjoy life and this home is set up just for that. Another good thing about this home is the price, only $349,000, not bad for the usually higher priced log homes. County records shows it to have 2924 square feet with 3 bedrooms/2.5 baths. The master suite is located off to itself with huge closet, separate shower and soaking tub, bedroom with fireplace, and a private deck on the lakeside. This home is again great for that retirement home on Grand Lake or the second home on Grand Lake.

Grand Lake MLS #11-2579 is the fourth home on today’s list. Priced at only $225,000, it is located in a 55+ community, is a waterfront townhome on one level, 1984 square feet per county records with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a flex room that could become an office/guest room combined or formal dining room, and a large open living area with fireplace, and the huge kitchen with dining space and an abundance of cabinets. The home also has a separate utility room. You will enjoy the community swimming pool, club house room to enjoy evening get togethers with other owners, your yard work and exterior upkeep handled by association, and group home insurance included in the dues for studs out exterior of home. All this for only $225.00 per month. This waterfront home is in Grove and enjoys wide open lake views. This is a great retirement waterfront home on Grand Lake or a second home for those over 55 who want to start thinking retirement while enjoying that second home on Grand Lake.

There you have it, four nice, moderate priced waterfront homes $225,000-400,000. All homes are in ready to go condition, have great locations, and are waterfront. Isn’t this a good place to start your search for that waterfront retirement home on Grand Lake or that second home on Grand Lake you have always wanted. Interest rates are super low, home cost are very reasonable, and a great choice of homes to pick from. Why tarry, call Aaron or Joe today to schedule your visit to Grand Lake and see these fine homes. For Aaron 918 801-5645 or aaronhughes@remax.net. For Joe 918 640-3300 or jneill@remax.net .

Big family, lots of friends, no problem with this new listing. We have just listed a 6 bedroom/4 bath home with a 2 slip dock located minutes from downtown Grove, OK but in a private secluded area with a well protected wide cove with great views out to the highly sought after Honey Creek Arm of Grand Lake. You can have it all here. Home sits on .82 Acre m/l and per county records has 3546 square feet. You will enjoy the new kitchen with rich deep cherry tone and beautiful granite countertops. The stainless steel appliances add just the right touch to this brand new upscale kitchen.

As stated above, you will enjoy peace and solitude in this very quiet location but yet be only minutes from downtown Grove for shopping, movies, dining out, health care, and churches or civic clubs. The home has two levels with the master bedroom in a corner of the home for quietness. You will enjoy your family and friends as they flock to your retirement lake home or second home on the lake.

Retirement or Family Scenic Ranch in NE Oklahoma Close to Grand Lake

By Joe Neill | Published: January 9, 2012

Deer will abound on this property for excellent deer hunting. There is a blacktop lane to the home about 1/4 mile from the highway. The Queen of your house will enjoy the luxury home with 5 bedrooms/3 baths in 3700 square feet m/l. The large kitchen is open to dining and living areas and has an abundance of cabinets. You will enjoy the look of the old time stamped tin ceiling in this area of the home plus the family room area. The master bedroom is on end of the home with guest rooms on the other end. You will enjoy the library/office with beautiful oak bookshelvas just off the front entry. The home has a huge pantry and also a large utility room. This luxury home with scenic land shows elegance every way you look at it.

For the outdoors people in your family you will enjoy the peace and tranquility of the scenic land. You can enjoy raising some calves on the lush grass pasture, ride your ATV up and down the trails, hills, valleys. Talk about the perfect ranch to enjoy raising a family or a retirement ranch to enjoy every hour of the day, this is the place you need to see. You can enjoy Joplin, MO for a day in 30 minutes travel time or Tulsa, OK in an 1.5 hour trip, or be on Grand Lake in 1o minutes, or Grove, OK in 20 minutes. Senaca, MO is only 5 minutes away. Yes you can have it all at this location.

But wait there is more, you can have your own business on busy Highway 60 as well if you want.

Is Now the Time to Think Building Your Dream Waterfront Home on Grand Lake?

By Joe Neill | Published: December 30, 2011

The past three years most Grand Lake waterfront home buyers have found they could get more bang for their buck by buying an existing waterfront home. We do still have a nice selection of waterfront homes but not as many as 1, 2, or 3 years ago to pick from. You might also just want that one special floor plan or really want new construction for your dream home on the lake whether it is a second home on the lake or that retirement home on the lake.

There just is not a great number of waterfront lots in desireable locations on Grand Lake available. However, there are several nice ones to choose from, just not alot of them. RE/MAX Grand Lake has the best inventory of waterfront lots of any real estate office on Grand Lake today. The Hughes and Neill Team at RE/MAX has several waterfront lots listing of their own and of course has access to all the company listings as well as the Grand Lake MLS listings. If you are thinking about building that waterfront home, please do yourself a favor and call the people with the best lot choices whichever part of the lake you would like to be on. We have lots starting at $50,000 up to $295,000. Location, homes around the lots, and water depth are all factors that determine the value of a waterfront lot. We can help you find just the right lot for your budget, needs, and wants.

I have read several articles just recently that point to more new homes being constructed in 2012 than the past several years. It might be a time to get better craftsmen, better material prices, and your choice of the available lots if you act now rather than later. Give it some thought.

Call Aaron Hughes at 918 801-5645 or aaronhughes@remax.net or Joe Neill at 918 640-3300 or jneill@remax.net for more information on waterfront lots or waterfront homes on Grand Lake.

It is the Season and Christmas is almost here. Our Grand Lake Team would like to wish you and yours a Very Merry Christmas and a Terrific New Year for 2012. This is a great time to enjoy family and friends and reflect on our blessings. Even when life is not perfect, we can always see someone who has things worse.

Grand Lake is a wonderful place to call home or to have a second home on the lake. All of us who have homes here on the lake enjoy the four seasons Oklahoma offers.

December on Grand Lake

By Joe Neill | Published: December 17, 2011

Today is December 17, 2011 and on Grand Lake it is a very beautiful day. The sun is shining bright and dancing off the water with a brilliant blue. There is no wind and temperature is in the upper 40′s. I have been out showing waterfront homes on Grand Lake and waterfront lots on Grand Lake today. It is just a super day to enjoy showing homes but also if you are a weekend second home owner on Grand Lake you should be coming to the lake and enjoying the splender year around and not just the prime summer months.

You can really enjoy the holidays around the lake with a laid back feeling of the lake and the beautiful scenery. Get out and take a brisk walk, go town and enjoy lunch at one of the lake hotspots, enjoy a nap, and perhaps do some last minute Christmas shopping in the unique shops we have in Grove and all over the lake area. If you are a golfer you might want to go a round at Shangri La’s new course or the always favorite Patricia Island Golf Course. For dinner, you might want to try the new Shangri La Club. I had the Herford tenderloin steak there two nights ago and it was a good as it gets.

Slow down, enjoy life to the fullest at your Grand Lake home. If you are thinking retirement, think a home at Grand Lake. You won’t be sorry.

To learn more about Grand Lake homes and waterfront lots call The Grand Lake Team at RE/MAX Grand Lake in Grove, OK. For Aaron Hughes call 918 801-5645 or aaronhughes@remax.net. For Joe Neill call 918 640-3300 or jneill@remax.net We hope to hear from you soon and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
