More But Less.

Here’s a quick Lake Vermilion real estate market statistic.

Year to date in 2015 there have been 9 completed sales on Lake Vermilion with an average selling price of $97,066.  Last year (2014) there were 6 completed sales with an average selling price of $124,782.

It appears the lower priced waterfront properties are more likely to sell in the first 3 months of the calendar year when winter conditions present their greatest obstacle to the sales process.

Interesting.

Comparative Lake Vermilion YTD Sales (Final 2014).

January 6, 2015

Here’s a nice big smooch for your sister.

We have a tie. And nobody likes a tie. 2014 ended with 73 total Lake Vermilion sales. That’s the same number of sales as 2013 and it ends a run of 6 consecutive years of increasing closed sales.

We were on a path to have an improved year but the month of December pulled up lame with only 3 completed sales.

The total dollar amount for Lake Vermilion sales in calendar year 2014 is $19,101,707. The average sales amount for that group was $261,667 with an overall sales range of $8,000 to $1,200,000.

Please let me know if you have any questions related to these details.  I am also happy to provide additional information on the Lake Vermilion real estate market.

(As always, the grey lines show previous years and the red line represents 2014 completed sales.)

Good News For Sellers?

Is the Minnesota vacation home market heating up?  This article says, “Yes!”.

Go Fish.

May 9, 2014

The Minnesota Fishing Season opens tomorrow, Saturday, May 10th for Walleye and Northern Pike.

You knew that.

A first hand observation of the lake on this day would suggest there will be a fair portion of Lake Vermilion with ice cover for Opening Day.

Lake Vermilion is ranked as one of the top 10 Walleye lakes in the state per the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.  The 2014 Walleye population in Lake Vermilion is historically very strong.  The DNR has a nice online resource for Minnesota anglers.

Don’t forget… Lake Vermilion has a slot limit for Northern Pike (24″ – 36″) and Walleye (18″ – 26″).

Good luck!
