SOLD - 351 Old Fort Road, LaPointe, WI 54850 - Madeline Island Estate Listed by Madeline Island Realty The sale yesterday of 351 Old Fort Road on Madeline Island marked a milestone of sorts in Madeline Island history.

The property was on the market for just over five months when an

apostle islands: Madeline Island – How to Get Here - 01/15/12 11:49 PM
Madeline Island – How to Get Here I have lots of real estate friends all over the United States (and a few overseas) who periodically write me and say “love your photos of Madeline Island. Where exactly is this place?” So I figured the best way to explain where our northwest Wisconsin office is located would be to blog about it. The location of Madeline Island is pinpointed by a red arrow on the map below, which includes most of the continental U.S. Our Island is located on the south shore of Lake Superior in the Apostle Islands, close

apostle islands: Home Staging Works for Vacant Land Too - How to Stage Your Vacant Lot and Get it Sold - Part One - 01/01/12 01:20 PM
Home Staging Works for Vacant Land Too - How to Stage Your Vacant Lot and Get it Sold - Part One At first glance, this idea may seem far fetched, maybe even crazy. But you CAN stage a vacant lot to sell. Vacant land needs staging in order to attract buyer attention. When a prospective buyer drives up to a "For Sale" sign on your lot or vacant parcel, all too often they are confronted by an uncleared mass of trees and undergrowth, with no driveway or walking path into the lot. If there's no easy way for a prospect to actually

The Challenges of Staging a Home for Sale in a Remote Second Home Area or Recreational Destination Browse the blogroll on ActiveRain on any given day and you'll see countless posts about the value of staging in the home selling process. Unquestionably, home staging can be valuable in presenting a home at its best. There's even ample evidence that professional staging can bring a higher price at sale. Home stagers will gladly quote you statistics which bear this out. Now, put yourself in the shoes of an agent who sells homes in a remote area, at least eighty miles

apostle islands: Madeline Island Soil Geology and What it Means to a Home Buyer - 11/27/11 09:30 PM
Madeline Island Soil Geology and What it Means to a Home Buyer Madeline Island buyers, particularly those looking at buying a lot and building a home, should be informed and aware about the Island's topography and soil geology. This information will help a buyer make better, more informed decisions about where and what to build. The geology of Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands dates back to the earth's early history. All of the Apostle Islands are part of the Chequamegon Sandstone (or Brownstone) formation, part of the Bayfield group of Cambrian sandstones. Chequamegon sandstone has a reddish-brown hue because of the presence of small amounts of

apostle islands: If You Offer a Market Report Newsletter on the Web, Shouldn't it be Up to Date? - 11/03/11 09:56 AM
If You Offer a Market Report Newsletter on the Web, Shouldn't it be Up to Date? We recently became aware that one of our Bayfield County competitors offers an online newsletter on their website. A click on the tab brings you to that real estate newsletter. Unfortunately, the "Market Update" available there is from 2006. Claiming to be an "Advisor" to buyers and sellers is a lofty goal. But when you profess to offer relevant market information, shouldn't that information be gathered from within the past six months? Or at very least, shouldn't it be about the 2011 market? A great

More Real Estate Opportunities on Madeline Island Than We Have Seen in the Past Three Decades It can be argued that we are seeing today some of the most remarkable real estate opportunities on Madeline Island in decades. Here are the ingredients which have come together to make this possible: Inventory - Many property owners who acquired their homes and lots in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s are now retiring. These owners are ready to cash out and move on. It's a sort of "changing of the guard", with a new generation of buyers discovering Madeline Island and making it

apostle islands: The Bayfield, Wisconsin Real Estate Market is very Different from the Madeline Island Market - 10/01/10 12:11 AM
The Bayfield, Wisconsin Real Estate Market is very Different from the Madeline Island Market Our company, Madeline Island Realty, has listed and sold properties in Bayfield, Wisconsin (which Islanders refer to as "across the pond") in the past. Bayfield is a wonderfully charming town with it's own history and beauty, very different in some ways from that on Madeline Island. But it's also a very different real estate market in Bayfield this year. Some properties are moving, many others are not. And the Bayfield buyer is distinctly different from the buyer who is searching for property on Madeline Island. I

apostle islands: Slogging Through the Mud and Rain, Marking Lot Boundaries - A Rainy Day Activity for mid-September - 09/16/10 05:07 PM
Yesterday was a lousy day to take an autumn walk in the rain on Madeline Island. At midday, the temperature was in the upper 40s and it was pouring. The streets in LaPointe were full of flowing water and the view across two miles of Lake Superior facing the Bayfield mainland was obscured by low, heavy clouds and streaks of rain. It was not what you'd call the best weather for enjoying the Apostle Islands. My friend and colleague Jeff and I chose the day to take a trip up to the north end of the Island to mark lot corners for a pending
