I was sitting at my computer yesterday and had this thought "With the market slow down, I wonder what a guy Fishing from your own lotwould have to pay for a  small house on a lake in the Wasilla or Big Lake area?"

As you know, Wasilla is about 45 minutes from Anchorage and Big Lake is roughly an hour from Muldoon in east Anchorage.

You know how databases work, right?  MLS is a database, too.  I put in lakefront, under $400,000 and lot size over 15,000 feet.  To my surprise, 37 properties popped up! 

The least expensive lake front home was only $129,000 and the next was $132,000.  After prices creapt up all the way to the maximum price I set of $400,000.

You know, if you ever wanted a second home on a lake, or if you hope to slow down some day and have a fun place to live, it's not a bad thought to buy when the prices are low and the interest rates are good!

Flying up to the lake for the weekendI randomly read through some of the 37 active listings online.  One photo on Big Lake caught my eye so I read the listing comments 'The classic 'cabin in woods' with all the conveniences. Hardwood floors, upgraded cabinets, flooring, lighting. Serene private setting, beautiful Diamond Lake frontage with canal access to lake. Lake is stocked and 10 horse power limit A large livingroom with a lake viewapplies. Winter mountain views. Beautiful Custom Built Home."  All that for $249,900!  Hmm, interesting :)

If you or someone you know are interested, email me, tell me what your thought is and I'll email you a list of water front properties so you can see what I mean!
