door county homes for sale: How to Buy a Home in Door County, Wisconsin---Or Anywhere, USA - 12/29/17 12:08 PM
This may sound like a rather simple headline---but in the past month, I've had two couples approach me that haven't purchased a home since they bought their primary residences several DECADES ago.  I also had a lovely couple SELLING their first home (and they were both in their 80s, it was their first sales experience) last summer (and we sold it quickly).  Now these new Buyer families (that haven't purchased in decades) want to purchase second home properties in Door County.  This post is about how to buy a home in Door County, Wisconsin.  Our steps here will be different from … (0 comments)

Three Smart Reasons to Consider Downsizing
 
I decided to re-post this great feature by Debe Maxwell because it has so many pertinent facts to consider EVEN if you are buying a second home.  While many of my Gen-X second home buyers are still purchasing for growing families, we are seeing a return here to the smaller home purchase for buyers of all ages.  Often, buying a smaller home than your primary home will make great sense for your second home purchase for the reasons Debe lists in her well-written article.

door county homes for sale: Wisconsin's BIG difference between Manufactured and Modular Homes - 02/09/17 11:35 AM
Wisconsin has a BIG difference between
Manufactured and Modular Homes
 
One of the newsletters that regularly comes to my in-box (which I do scan) had me intrigued yesterday when it told me of the next big wave of the future, the MANUFACTURED home.  In the next breath, the newsletter spoke of the interest in these MODULAR homes, which are generally less per dollar per square foot to build and they are built similarly to frame homes in almost all aspects, but are built under controlled aspects and compartmentalized. Yet the article kept stressing there is great interest in a generalization: what it kept calling … (1 comments)

How I can price your Door County home for a SALE:
 
Over the past year, I've been lucky enough to capture and SELL several new listings, and the rule of thumb in Door County (and elsewhere) as always been:  location, condition, price.  This year, I'm adding something that has been missing from listing prices in the past several years in Door County, and that is:  CHECK THE ASSESSOR BILL and give it a LOT of leverage as to whether or not your listings will sell, in addition to all of the Multiple Listing Service research that goes into any sale.
 
 
Why?  Because Wisconsin, … (3 comments)
