Lake Vermilion Real Estate

Does blogging beget real estate brokering or does real estate brokering beget blogging?

That certainly is a “chicken and egg” type question with no real answer.  (It did allow for the rare use of the word “beget“, however.)

It is fair to say that the lack of posting activity is related to the level of real estate sales activity.  It’s tough to post when you’re mostly out of doors.

I’ve traveled to a trahugeous number of cabins, homes,  lake shore lots, and vacant acreage of the past few weeks.  Out of the office tours can involve numerous assignments.  Most commonly, outdoor time means 1)  servicing a Seller’s listing  2) previewing a potential new listing  3) touring a group of Buyer selected properties 4)  or doing a walkthrough prior to a successful closing  5) among others.

I’ve often compared the real estate business to farming.  When the eggs are in the nest you have to do the gathering.

There are better blogging days ahead.  This summertime activity will certainly produce wintertime real estate stories and insights.

So… thanks, again, for your continued patronage.  And special thanks to the visitor who found LakeVermilionRealEstate.com by searching the internet for “Can I keep chickens in Pengilly, Minnesota?“

Summer marches on!

Here’s the July graph that compares year to date completed sales activity for all transactions on Lake Vermilion (including homes, cabins, and lots) since 2005.

July 2011 was a pretty good month for overall sales activity. Only 2010 and 2005 had a greater number of closed transactions during July. 2005 needed to come on strong to reflect the pre-recession market still in place at that time. I predict August will be a very good sales month for 2011. Again, stay tuned, let’s see if 2011 can keep pace with the previous six years.
