Owning property with shoreline along a channel can be an affordable option for home buyers who want access to a full recreational lake. Many large lakes will … (0 comments)
affordable mn lakeshore: Living on a Minnesota Wetland--Affordable Beauty and Privacy!
- 05/04/14 07:14 AM
The legendary 10,000 lakes in Minnesota are why so many people want to buy homes in our beautiful state. Yet lakeshore homes can be very pricey. Sometimes buyers want something beautiful and natural but not too expensive. A great option can be a wetland property. Wetland or marsh doesn't sound as attractive as lakeshore.

As a REALTOR who works primarily in the north Minneapolis/St Paul metro, I often educate buyers on the benefits of wetland homes. There are many acreage … (1 comments)

- 08/08/13 01:55 AM
Early this spring, I was contacted by a potential seller on Coon Lake in Anoka County. They were contemplating listing their lake home but hadn’t quite decided if this was the year to make a move or not. I completed a market analysis for their beautiful home and property. The current activity really spurred my interest in that area so I have been keeping close tabs on that market ever since. It was simply amazing to me how affordable lakeshore was in the north and east Twin Cities metro even as prices on homes were rising. It should have been … (0 comments)

- 09/01/11 02:58 PM
Did you know that not all full recreational lakes in Minnesota have public access? Yes, most larger lakes have several access points for the public to use boats, jet skis and other motorized water craft. But there are a few hidden gems that only allow homeowners along the lake to launch boats and use the open water for recreational boating and fishing. Lake Reshanau in Anoka County is one of those hidden gems. Located in the community of Lino Lakes, Lake Reshanau has about 100 homeowners along its banks.

Are you one of those people who dream of living on a Minnesota lake? Would you love to wake up in the morning to the sound of a loon’s call?

affordable mn lakeshore: First Time Homebuyer’s Real Estate Word for Today is Deeded Access
- 01/06/11 02:38 AM
The average home buyer only buys a home once every eight years. That said, even a repeat home buyer can forget some of the simple terms used in real estate on a daily basis. It can be hard to remember whether the earnest money or the money escrowed is a down payment and (if it is, on what?) Often buyers are easily confused by similar sounding terms like easement and encroachment as they both deal with property lines and usage but what do they really mean? Whether you are a novice, first time buyer or someone who hasn’t purchased a … (7 comments)
affordable mn lakeshore: Ham Lake, MN Real Estate Market Statistics Year End 2009
- 01/01/10 03:32 PM
The City of Ham Lake has a rich history. Incorporated in 1974, Ham Lake became a city after over a hundred years of humble but steady growth. The area was first settled in 1855 by a group of Scottish men on the southwest side of Ham Lake. Though, I can only assume that the lake itself got its name due to its unusual "ham hock" shape, the community started out with a different name. The original name of the community was Glen Carey, which is the Scottish translation of "beautiful valley". Following a prairie fire in 1857, the first settlers moved … (12 comments)
