This Month’s Read
The docks are out, and lake country has slowed down. Everywhere except the shoreline. Our 32 lake towns have 1,388 homes for sale, down from 1,554 a month ago. Only 268 new listings arrived in the past 30 days, against 386 the month before. October's lake sales took a median 47 days to sell, up from 41 a year ago. They closed at 97.8 percent of the asking price, or about $2 off every $100. Only 15 percent sold over asking, down from 20 percent last October. That's the calendar at work. Waterfront homes sold from May through October went for a $574,000 median, up 9.3 percent from a year earlier. Off the water, the median was $298,500, about the same as last year's $299,900. On asking prices the gap is wider: $597,000 on the water and $355,000 off it, a 68 percent premium, up from 64 percent last month. Winter can slow a sale. It can't make more shoreline. Some towns are still busy. Alexandria has 26 percent of its listings under contract, meaning a buyer's offer was accepted, and 2.7 months of supply. Pine River has 28 percent under contract and just 18 homes for sale. Bemidji and Brainerd each have more than a fifth spoken for. Detroit Lakes, the biggest lake market with 133 homes for sale, gives buyers room: 11 percent under contract and six months of supply. Pelican Rapids, where 71 percent of listings sit on the water, asks a shoreline median of $789,450, down from $825,000 a month ago. The rule for winter lake shopping: fewer homes, more patient sellers, and a shoreline that keeps its price.
