2020:

Searching for the perfect Door County property just got more challenging

 

Oh, 2020.......just when I thought you had given me every surprise that I truly didn't want, you've also created some ripples in the Door County real estate industry.......

 

2019 was a great year in Door County real estate, and a personal best for me.  All bets were off for what the year would bring, real estate-wise, because I knew inventory was going to be limited.  But I certainly never expected THIS.  We spent February through late May doing a LOT of virtual showing, and homes, condominium, businesses and land just kept selling......and prices just kept rising.....

 

 

Prices have continued to rise as our inventory continues to shrink.  Many of our properties have had multiple offers and have gone under contract over the asking price.  It's usually easier for me to tell my prospects what is NOT available rather than what IS available.  So let me start by telling you what is currently available in our hot, hot market (as of the date of this writing):

 

1.  Yacht Harbor Shores Condominium's new construction.  We have a new building at 10971 Harbor Shores Court, Sister Bay, WI 54234.  The developer finished off Unit 1001 at Yacht Harbor Shores to a lovely level of finish and it's move-in ready and Unit 1002 is ready for YOUR selection finishes and your own custom touch.  Learn more about unit 1002 at 10971 Harbor Shores Court, Sister Bay, Wisconsin here.

2.  New Construction at Shore View Condominiums, Sister Bay.  We still have two listed units available at Shore View Condominiums, which is turning out better than any of us could have dreamed.  Great location, condition and price.....and a view that just cannot be beat of downtown Sister Bay and the waters of Green Bay.  Learn more about our offerings at Shore View Condominiums here.

4.  Still available as of this writing, our listing at 311 S.
