4TH MORE THAN FIREWORKS SOLD IN SHELL KNOB
July 4th, falling mid-week, as it did this year, gave sales of lake property a nudge in Shell Knob.
Sales have been slow this year, as they are in many areas of the country. The July holiday has traditionally sent families to Table Rock Lake for their summer vacation, and interested potential buyers to investigate becoming second home or vacation home owners.
The weather cooperated. It was hot, sunny and Table Rock Lake waters were bathtub warm. The local merchants enjoyed a brisk business. Realtors were busy showing property. It was great!
That was then, and this is now. The nine day spurt seems to have sputtered out, unfortunately. The phones are quiet again. I can't speak for other agents, but the ads in the local paper, The Rattler, only got me ONE call. I did sell two lake properties, but they were personal referrals.
Labor Day is six weeks away - school starts around here in four weeks. Once school starts, visitors to the lake diminish.
