On Friday February 18, 2011 the Wallstreet Journal had an article that stated that the inventory of new homes is now 190,000 nationwide, the lowest since January, 1968. The article admitted that there is still an ample supply given the sales rate but points out that several regions of the country are getting low on the number of new homes for sale.

In the Grove, Oklahoma and Grand Lake real estate market we have not seen widespread foreclosures of homes. New home builders have however slowed down to near nothing on the building on new homes. We have had an oversupply of resale homes the past two years but we are gradually working this supply down. One of these days we are going to wake up and be short on homes to pick from. The area remains a favorite for retirees and second home buyers. For a February on the lake market we have been very busy with calls and internet activity. People coming to look at homes are also picking up. We feel like this spring will see a much more active real estate market than the past couple of years.

Interest rates are also ticking up a bit. If you have been thinking about buying a second home on Grand Lake or putting off buying that retirement home, I would start to move my plans up. Now is when the best selection will be found and the interest rates are still very favorable. Something to think about.

Patricia Island Golf and Lake Lifestyle Homes on Grand Lake Grove, OK is a post from: Grand Lake OK Real Estate with Joe Neill & Aaron Hughes

We just listed a very unique and high quality waterfront home on Grand Lake. This has to be the best priced, best value waterfront listing on Grand Lake. You will have to see it to fully appreciate the attention to details both inside and outside of this terrific home. Grove’s Patricia Island Estates and Golf Club is the location of this waterfront home on Grand Lake. No homeowner dues here. Dues are paid if you elect to join the golf club or swim/tennis club.

You will find this home in the Grand Lake MLS listed two ways. MLS # 10-1399 is the 2886 sq ft m/l home per county records (owner feels it will measure out more) with 262′ waterfront, 2 Acres m/l land, and a two slip boat dock with swim deck. It has a retaining wall on lakeside, many fine trees in yard, a fenced backyard around the home, and a protected cove location just off the main lake. This listing is priced with 2 waterfront lots for $675,000.

Grand Lake MLS # 10-1400 is the home as above with only one waterfront lot. It will have about 1.3 Acres of land and 149′ waterfront and the home. The boat dock will become a shared dock with one 30′ slip each for this home and the other for the owner of the adjoining lot. Each owner will share use of the swim dock and upkeep of the dock. This listing is priced at the unheard of price of $525,000. You just cannot get a waterfront home of this calibur in Patricia Island Estates on Grand Lake at this price. You do not need the extra lot to have a terrific and very enjoyable waterfront home.

The home has a unique blend of brick, stacked stone, and siding on the exterior. The interior uses stained wood trim throughout the home. Two fireplaces, one a gas fireplace with stacked stone in the den and the other in the family room, a wood burner with stacked stone and brick set this home off. The master bedroom is on the first level and has patio access and lakeviews. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms and one bath plus a flex room that can be the fourth bedroom or a game room, theater room, or kid’s room.

This is just a one of a kind home with timeless features on a terrific lot with the many trees and the long winding driveway from the street. It is a home to enjoy for years to come as your Grand Lake retirement home, second home, or family home in Grove.

There have many positive articles on the economy especially for the midwest. I read one article this week that said Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas would be ahead of the nation in the recovery because property values did not drop nor had they went off the radar going up.
