Lake of the Ozarks waterfront home sales increased 48% in dollar volume sold!  That is first quarter of 2010 versus first quarter 2009.  The amazing part is that it was done with only one more sale.  The average price per square foot increased from 143 psf to 150 psf.  The average sale price was 46% higher in 2010.  All good news, especially given the unseasonably bad weather during the 1st quarter.   

If you are a ready, willing and able buyer waiting for the “bottom’ of this market, you have likely already missed it.   Don’t wait any longer, this market is seeing a recovery and the lack of new construction during the last 3 years will start to drive up prices at an accelerated pace when the demand comes back.  Call John Garrett at Lake Real Estate Pros today to get started.  573-480-6420.

Cates auction is hosting a condo sales event March 6th 2010 and you should be aware of a few things if you are thinking of buying.   First of all, there is a buyer’s premium on every sale of 9%.  This is paid whether you use a buyer’s agent or not, this fee goes to Cates auction.  It cost you nothing to hire me as your buyer’s agent, but the savings could be huge or prevent you from overpaying at auction.  This auction is live at the Lake, bidders can also watch from KC, and people can bid online.  It is easy to get auction fever and overpay in that type of enviroment.  Cates is a first class operation, but be aware that they are highered by the seller to get the highest price possible.  Have an agent that is on your side that knows the Lake condo market. 

Only two units are absolute auctions.  The rest of the units will have a reserve.

My new real estate company is called Lake Real Estate Pros.   Maybe I took the Warren Buffet quote that everyone loves nowdays that says ““… be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful” a bit too seriously.   After 10 year at RE/MAX Lake of the Ozarks, it was time to make this move.   Lake Real Estate Pros is located across from JB Hooks on Bagnell Dam Blvd.   The address is 2221 Bagnell Dam Blvd Ste 400, Lake Ozark MO 655049.  John Garrett can be reached at 573-480-6420.

Lake Of the Ozarks Condominium sales increased 171%! November condo sales were $6,065,641 versus $2,235,075 the same period last year! If you are thinking of buying, now is the time before these prices start their rebound. There are still plenty of deals, but this increase in sales will start to mean sales comparables will increase and prices will trend upward

Those of you who purchased in the last year, great job fining those hot deals.

The Lake of the Ozarks real estate market is blessed to not have the problems on the scale that many areas do.   This list is not widely know to agents, I know to check it on occasion, but it is a cumbersome process.

From the DEA, these are the homes listed as meth houses.  They could have been cleaned up, torn down, not cleaned up correctly, but at least we know where they are.  BTW, these can be great deals for investors to buy and properly clean up as rentals, it just must be (and should be) disclosed that the home was formerly a meth house.   This disclosure is forever from what I have been told.

The number of sales for 2009 YTD compared to 2008 shows a decrease in the number of sales from 499 to 369, or 26%.  Sales volume is off 35% YTD.  The price per square foot has dropped 12%.

The good news?  Condo sales the last half of this year were actually stronger towards the second half of the season, and in 2008 condos sales were more weighted towards the spring buying months.  The biggest hole in our sales occurred between May 1st of 2008 to May 1st 2009.  A sign that this market has bottomed?  Could be, only time will tell.
