Sale Caps Solid Year for Delavan Lakefronts

2011-12-31T14:16:00.000-08:00

Sales of Delavan Lake properties increased over 50 percent from 2010 with the most recent closing. The most recent lakefront sale was a newly remodeled 4500 square-foot two-story situated on the North Shore. For 2011, there were 20 lakefront properties sold. This compares to only 13 sold in 2010.
Located at 1641 Cedar Point Drive, the property featured six bedrooms, four bath rooms, and 85 feet of prime lake frontage. The glassed-in front porch welcomed panoramic views of the lake and the position of the house allowed for the owners to enjoy sunsets normally reserved for South Shore residents.

Quality upgrades and building materials were found throughout the home. Most rooms had a water view including the family room, with walk-out composite deck, and great room with natural fireplace.

Priced at $1,299,000, the home was only on the market for a month before offers came in. The property eventually sold for $1,215,000 which was similar to sales of other higher-end lakefronts this year.

Delavan Lake Year End Markdowns

2011-12-30T08:13:00.000-08:00

While not quite Black Friday, there are a number of price reductions that can be found on Delavan Lake properties now that the end of the year is here.
One such reduction can be found at 2503 Rockford Colony. This two-bedroom, two-bath lake home features lake views, a swim pier, large front porch and a remodeled bath. Originally listed for $299,000, this lake getaway is now $239,000.

Another markdown is at 4507 Highland Drive in the Viewcrest Subdivision. This four-bedroom, two-bath home has a boat slip, deck, private back yard and spacious sun room off the walkout lower level. Originally listed for $399,000, the home has been slashed to $299,900 for a quick sale.

One more motivated seller is at 2126 Blue Heron Drive. This stately home sits on 100 feet of frontage, has an open great room with access to both a deck and enclosed sun room. Originally listed for $749,000, the lakefront has now been adjusted to only $599,000.

Delavan Lake Foreclosure May Signal Price Bottom

2011-12-08T13:28:00.000-08:00

The recent listing of a Delavan Lake foreclosure may signal the bottom of price declines on Delavan Lake. Located at 1401 South Shore Drive, the property has 100 feet of frontage, three older structures, and a swimming pool on an acre of land. None of the structures are particularly attractive on the outside, but one of them has value beyond its first impression.

     The main house, built in 1920, is a four-bedroom, two bath farm-house style with a large kitchen area that features a bar for entertaining and lake views. In the living room is a "70's-cool" lava-rock fire place just waiting for black lights to be added.
     Upstairs are the four large bedrooms, three with lake views and one with a balcony off the back side.   All of the bedrooms share a single bath.
     The property has a two car detached garage with a two-bedroom apartment above. The apartment is in rough shape without central heat and porous windows sure to invite winter drafts.
     At the lakefront is the gem of the property. Here stands the boathouse (or "lido" as the prior owner called it) with a natural fireplace, built-in bar, half bath and spectacular views of Delavan Lake. The entire lake, from Island to Lake Lawn, can be absorbed while cozying up to the bar enjoying a summer refreshment.

Placed on the market for a mere $495,000, the property received numerous bids the first week and had an accepted offer within days of hitting the market. Previously on the market for $965,500 just a year ago, the steep discount as a foreclosure generated plenty of interest and confirmed that there is definite demand for lakefront bargains.

Island of Delavan Lake Home Finally Sells

2011-11-30T06:24:00.000-08:00

After being on the market for over four years, the five-bedroom Tudor, located on the Island of Delavan Lake, has finally sold. Boasting 215 feet of prime Delavan Lake frontage, and an acre of real estate, the parcel had one of the best views available in the area.

     Originally listed for $1,999,000 in October of 2008, the property finally succumbed to the soft market and was relinquished for a mere $730,000. The sale represented only 47 percent of the assessed value which stood at $1,555,000 at the time of the transaction.
     In addition to the five bedroom, the home had four baths, 3,000 square feet of living area, a large lakeside patio and an attached 2.5 car garage. But the home had fallen into disrepair over the last few years. The roof needed replacement, siding was deteriorating, and a leak above the kitchen created an unsightly bulge to prospective buyers.
     The new owner, planning extensive remodeling, is sure to capitalize on a week real estate market. With the planned updates, the home will most likely fetch somewhere near the assessed value once completed.

The open concept great room, with vaulted ceiling, fireplace, lake views, sun porch and deck gives the lake access and feel of many of the summertime retreats. The floor plan has a main floor laundry, office and two guest bedrooms.

The walk-out lower level features a large master suite complete with walk-in closet and plantation shutters, a family room with direct lake access, and a patio. There is also a three-car garage, well landscaped yard and large private pier.
Listed for only $630,000 the home is worth considering for both summer house hunters as well as those that can take advantage of Delavan Lake's beauty all year long.

Town of Delavan makes progress on pledges

2011-09-28T05:05:00.000-07:00

     The Town of Delavan has made tremendous progress on pledges made to citizens already this year. In a tough economic environment, the town has shown what fiscal responsibility and cooperation among board supervisors can achieve.
     The town embarked on two large municipal projects this year. First is the Inlet dredging project. This project, the largest Delavan Lake project in 20 years, planned to remove over 45,000 tons of phosphorus laden sediment from the Inlet to improve and ensure continued lake water quality. The project is on track to be completed November 1, on budget.
     Second is the reconstruction of South Shore Drive. This project, extending from Baily Road to County O, is putting in new culverts, a mulit-use path and new surface for the entire distance. The effort will enhance the safety of the road, allow space for walkers, bikers, and joggers, and improve storm water management along the drive. The reconstruction is on track to be completed November 15.
     In addition to these projects, a pledge by the Town Chair, to work with developers to be more responsible citizens, is also paying off. A developer that owned two dilapidated buildings along South Shore Drive, buildings formally known as the Peek Inn and Clowns Lounge, was contacted and asked to remove the buildings that had stood vacant for over two decades. The buildings had become homes for racoons, and other animals, were falling down and shedding debris during storms. This week, the buildings are being razed.
     Finishing fiscal touches on the Town of Delavan activities include refinancing town debt at a rate of 2.2% and completing a balanced budget for 2012 that does not increase any taxes and keeps employment levels unchanged.

Boatslip on Delavan Lake Now Affordable

     It was just three short years ago when the least expensive habitable home with boat slip on Delavan Lake was $225,000. For nearly a quarter of a million dollars, you could get a three bedroom ranch with a slip that was four blocks away from the lake.
     Now, the market has dropped that entry point by nearly $100,000.
     For only $129,000, a boating enthusiast can now purchase a four-bedroom, one bath, two-story home with a one-car garage, patio and ... a boat slip.

The home is located along the north shore of Delavan Lake in Jackson Park. The park, a quiet, social community, has a pier with boat slips, a small park area, and a swimming area for residents.
In addition to four large bedrooms, the property has a large living room, kitchen and dining room on the first floor. Many windows allow light throughout the day and vinyl siding limits the annual maintenance cost.

First $1 million Delavan Lakefront sale for 2011

2011-07-29T05:57:00.000-07:00

The first Delavan Lakefront sale of $1 million or more for 2011 took place yesterday. Located at 3311 South Shore Drive, this 5000 sq ft two-story sold for $1,250,000.

The property came on the market in 2008 at a list price of $2.8 million and fell victim to the decline in prices that have affected the entire area. The original price of $2.8 million was very aggressive since the assessed value at the time was only $1.9 million. Had the property been properly priced, the 30% reduction in area real estate prices would put the home near its actual selling price.

The home features 102 feet of prime South Shore frontage, a great room with soaring ceilings and a wall of window. There are five bedrooms, four baths, a lakeside office, billiard room and walk out lower level.
With this sale, there have been twelve sales of Delavan lakefront properties for 2011.

Delavan takes Lakefront Sales Lead

     Delavan lakefront sales now out pace all other lakes in Walworth County for 2011.
     With the sale of a three-bedroom home on North Shore Drive yesterday, Delavan now has 10 sales for the year compared with nine for Lake Geneva. Two other homes are under contract as well on Delavan Lake with showings up over last year.
     Reduced prices have much to do with the sales upturn. Many homes are priced 30 percent than they were two years ago.
     Here are the sales for the first six months by lake:
     Beulah - 2
     Whitewater - 3
     Lauderdale - 5
     Geneva - 9
     Delavan - 10
