Oconomowoc- The Best Of Two Worlds

April 20, 2009 at 08:51 PM

Oconomowoc is such a terrific blend of lifestyles! I am blessed to be able to live and work all in one community and really take in all that it has to offer. My drive to work everyday is just a few short miles, and yet it’s like traveling between two different worlds. I live in the country, surrounded by farmland and beautiful views of rolling hills and pastures.

Oconomowoc has a rich history in farming, with many farms being operated by the same family for numerous generations. It’s great to be able to stroll down the road with a fishing pole and wile away a lazy summer afternoon. You’re bound to catch some of the local wildlife up close, or at the very least, enjoy the hum of the dragonflies while baiting your hook!

When we feel like getting out on the town, we can be there in just 5 minutes. There you are surrounded by small town charm and a lake always nearby! Historical homes and buildings make for interesting converstion while on a walk around one of the lakes. Pedestrian friendly Oconomowoc offers many parks and walking trails, several beaches, quaint shops and restaurants. The city also has a flair for the arts, offering free concerts in summer, gallery night and art festivals, as well as performances in the new Oconomowoc Arts Center and at Theatre On Main.

Plus we’re tucked right in between Milwaukee and Madison, so in less than an hour you can be in either of the two larger cities!

It’s a wonderful place to call home. People have been flocking here for decades to enjoy the lifestyle that the lake country brings. Whether you’re looking for a quiet night of star gazing, dining on the lakefront, or taking in some live music, you’re sure to find it here!

What's So Great About The Real Estate Market In 2009?

April 07, 2009 at 08:11 PM

Whether you’re thinking about buying or selling, 2009 will definitely shine! Think about a time when you’ve made a great decision but didn’t know how great it really was until you looked back on it. This is the year that buyers, and some sellers, are going to look back and think exactly that!

Let’s say you want to buy a new home but aren’t sure you can sell your existing home. First, if you are considering moving up to a larger home, 2009 is a fantastic time to sell! You may not have as much equity in your home as you had a couple of years ago, but you will be able to get a terrific deal on your new home. For example, you own a $250,000 house and need to sell it to buy a larger $350,000 home. While it's true that in 2006 you might have sold your home for $260,000, you also would have paid $375,000 for your new house. In other words, in this market you may lose $10,000 on your current home, but you will be save $25,000 on your new home, for a net gain of $15,000!
