WASHINGTON ISLAND FISHING DERBY
Location: Washington Island
February 11 - 19 2012
Plan a winter excursion to Washington Island and enjoy a week filled with fun! The derby includes a week-long fishing competition with prizes, annual chili cook-off, and music. You'll enjoy the island's winter wonderland!
Here's a quick look at the over-all market stats for the first month of 2012:
In the first month of 2012, our Door County Multiple Listing Service posted 26 sales. Of the twenty-six, 13 were property sales in Northern Door County.
These 13 sales shake out like this...
I was recently reminded of the importance of communication in a transaction between the Buyer and their REALTOR (and Seller and their REALTOR). We had an accepted Offer to Purchase. The Buyers were working through another REALTOR and I was working with the Sellers. Throughout the negotiations and then after the Offer was accepted, it was apparent that there was very little, if any, communication between the Buyers and their REALTOR The deal ultimately fell apart because of the Buyer’s lack of understanding of the Offer process. I felt these Buyers really wanted the property, but were left in the dark when it came to procedures.
It is SOOOO IMPORTANT TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR REALTOR. The REALTOR is there to guide you through the transaction. Most people do not buy and sell real estate every day. I DO! Because I do, I can help you through the maze of writing the Offer, negotiations, inspections, financing, appraisals, zoning, offer deadlines, etc.
The best advise that I can give you, is to WORK WITH A REALTOR WHO COMMUNICATES WITH YOU CONSISTENTLY!

Each year at this time, I post Door County's annual real estate market statistics on my site. In reviewing the information, I found it interesting that...
...of the 291 inland home sales (county-wide) reported in 2011, the majority of the sales were under $300,000 with the most (63) in the $100,000 to $149,999 range. Of the 64 waterfront home sales, the majority were under $600,000. The three top price ranges for residential waterfront were: $100,000 to $149,999 (7 sales), $300,000 to $349,999 (9 sales), and $550,000 - $599,999 (8 sales).
There were 91 residential condominium sales, most were in the $100,000 to $299,999 range. Of the 37 hotel condominium sales, most were below $100,000.
There were 12 vacant waterfront sales...all below $300,000 and 84 vacant inland sales, the majority (48) under $50,000.
There were 27 commercial property sales reported in 2011. One was over $1,000,000 with the remaining under $400,000 and the majority (22) under $200,000.

Cave Point County Park
Cave Point is one of my favorite Door County parks. This 19 acre paradise located within Whitefish Dunes State Park, features one of Door County's most picturesque shorelines. Cave Point County Park is a wonderful place to visit throughout the year. The spectacular sea caves, resulting from centuries of Lake Michigan's relentless pounding against the limestone bluffs, are visual wonders throughout the year.
