The Spring Market Is Here!!!

I always enjoy springtime in the lake property business. There is just something that lifts your spirits as you travel from lake to lake through slush-filled gravel roads, sometimes barely passable as the frost begins to fade away in place of wobbly earth behind it.

When I walked outside today it was raining, so to me that was the first sign that lake cabin buyers will be coming out of hiding soon. The second sign was when we received several information requests from potential buyers...who must have also experienced that springtime sensation.

Winters get long up here in the Northland. With the difficult real estate market and fumbling economy we hear about nearly every day, this winter may have been a little worse. But the sun is feeling warmer -- and February goes by fast -- so things can only look up.

And with the drop in prices we've experienced in 2008, this year the early birds may really get the worm!

Do you have any numbers on price decreases. I frequently check some sites on properties on Rainy, and the same properties have been listed without any price decrease for well over a year now.
Im not in to buy but it seems many dont want to budge on prices.
