It appears that lakehome sales may be on the rise for 2010. Prices have softened significantly and have been generating a rather surprising upswing in the lakeshore market. These statistics are from Douglas County sales in the MLS for period July 1st to September 30th. I went back to 1999 so that you could see the data by comparison. As I had said before, it appears that the market is bottoming out. Good news for sellers. Buyers…Buy Now!
