Vacation Rentals in Lake Geneva WI: Living "At the Lake" at a Price You Can Afford

Posted to Lakefront, Williams Bay, WI

Vacation rentals in Lake Geneva WI are one way to experience lakefront living before buying a lakefront or lake access home in the Lake Geneva –Williams Bay – Fontana area. With lakefront property prices becoming increasingly reasonable (relatively speaking, that is), 2011-2012 will be the year to take the plunge. Several of the lakefront buyers with whom I am currently working are considering the vacation rental option. Their reasons are simple:

  • A lakefront rental on Lake Geneva allows them to see if buying a lakefront property truly makes sense. 
  • Renting in the current economy offers many of the benefits and none of the risks of lakefront ownership.
  • Renting allows prospective buyers to test out several lakes in a single season. They can discover which lake - Delavan Lake, Lake Beulah in East Troy WI, or Lake Geneva – fits their lifestyle and wallet.
  • A temporary Lake Geneva getaway may help them better understand how often they will use their lakefront vacation home once they buy it.

There aren’t many times when buyers can “try before they buy”, but a Lake Geneva vacation rental is definitely one of them. In my experience, those who make a commitment to both enjoying their vacation rental and to using their time in the Lake Geneva area to concentrate on finding the right lake property to purchase, move from renters to buyers with confidence, knowledge and experience that serves them well once they’ve become Walworth County residents.  For information about vacation rentals or the Geneva Lake area, click here!

Lake Geneva Lakefront Sale Gives a "View" into the 2011 Market

Posted to Geneva Lake Area , Lakefront

The Lake Geneva lakefront market promises another exciting year for buyers in 2011. The first lakefront sale of the year closed just a day or so ago for less than $2,000,000. Originally listed at $2,490,000, the property was priced at $1,995,000 at the time of the sale and sold for $1,850,000. The property offered views down the length of Geneva Lake from Fontana to Lake Geneva, had 89 feet of frontage and a pier that could accommodate a 40’ boat. While the house needed a major overhaul, property similar to this lot sold several years ago for more than a million above this sale price. Whoever says, “there are no more deals on Lake Geneva” needs to study sales over the last 13 months. Prices on this lake have lowered the bar creating less of a price/value dichotomy between waterfront properties on Geneva and lakes such as Lake Beulah, Lauderdale and Delavan. If the market rallies in the coming months, lakefront buyers would do well to begin their lakefront search in earnest before prices begin their determined crawl up the price scale. For more information on the Lake Geneva market visit www.GenevaLakeRealty.com . Hope to see you at “The Lake” this season, so give me a call to schedule time to explore available properties.
