The highest priced one sold for $285,000 and the lowest priced one sold for $67,800. The median price for these homes was approximately $160,000 a good increase for us. Condo sales were down 50% with 12 units sold last month. The highest one sold for approx. $222,000 and the lowest sold for $52,500. That shows a higher median sales price in that local market too.

Do you want to purchase a foreclosure in the Branson/Table Rock Lake area? If so, there are things you need to know to make your quest successful. Remember, you're not the only person looking for a great deal. The competition is stiff and many of these homes receive multiple bids. Therefore, being prepared will mean the difference between making a successful offer that results in a contract or losing the home to another buyer. The first step to being ready is to have a system in place to be notified about foreclosed properties. If you're the first to find the properties available, you'll have an edge over the competition. This is the easiest part. Just email me and put foreclosures in the subject line. I'll email you a list of all available properties and you'll also receive updates on ...
In the past, some of the local souvenir shops carried (and may still) T-shirts that featured a picture of two, long lines of cars on a two-lane road with the caption: Branson, The World's Biggest Parking Lot. This is proof that Branson has a reputation for terrible traffic. While this is still a busy, tourist destination, traffic is really not that big of a problem. Prior to the early 1990's, you didn't have many route choices besides Highway 76 and a few windy streets that circled through various subdivisions. However, since that time, many alternate routes have been developed to get around town. If you chose to head down Highway 76, the chances are good that you'll soon come to a halt and then a crawl. Roark Valley Road, Highway 248, Epps Road, Forsyth Road, Fall Creek Road, Highway 3...

There are many things you need to do to help your vacant home show better. Number one: Keep it clean. You may have cleaned it when you moved out, but even empty houses get dirty. Many times there are cobwebs or dead bugs on the floor. And somehow, dust still accumulates. Another important detail is the smell of the home. I showed a home today that has been on the market for about two months but the disclosure says it has been vacant for three years. The buyers thought the home smelled like it had a mold problem. However, I think the odor is from being closed up for a very long time. Leaving the windows open for a day during nice weather and hiring someone to clean would improve the chance of this house selling tremendously. Also, maintaining the outside means more than just mowing the y...
This is why everyone that visits Branson wants to buy a lake home on Tablerock Lake- For these reasons; it’s clean, beautiful, and surprisingly quiet! With 52,000 acres of shoreline and being a protected corp lake it is truly an emerald jewel in the mid-west! Accessible from multiple public and privately owned locations just minutes to the west of Branson,MO Table Rock Lake has been delighting visitors and residents since it was formed by the damming of the White River in 1958. While visitors can find dozens of places to stay and play along the banks of Table Rock Lake, the area’s real estate developments have placed a high priority on preserving the scenic beauty of the natural shoreline, bluffs, forests and wildlife that inhabit the shoreline. Unlike its counterpart Lake of the Ozarks...
The Ozarks have never been a place for the faint of heart. With our rugged rocky landscape and endless hills (mountains) the Ozarks are a place of endless beauty, but can also cause car sickness. With most of our clients coming from areas like Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, where most roads are a strait shot. When coming to this area, some get disorented or the curvy switchback roads can be daunting! I wanted to write this post because I've noticed most buyers can not tell the distance from parts of Table Rock Lake to Branson until they take the drive. Some of the lake homes are very far and most of the time I will tell buyers this house is 30 min. from Branson, or 50 min. on two lane curves. Really it depends on the buyers lifestyle. If they are wanting a lake home far enough from everythi...
Millions visit Branson, MO every year, and many are interested in Branson Real Estate. Branson, MO is a growing town located in the heart of the Midwest.

The first step in building the custom home you've always wanted is finding the perfect lot. However, there is more to picking a lot than just location. You will need to get a professional opinion about the slope of the lot and how it will affect the cost of building your home. This advice pertains more to the Ozarks than it does to other parts of the country, as flat lots are few and far between in this area. You will want your builder or excavator to examine the lot and possibly take shots of the slope of the elevation. It can sometimes cost thousands of dollars to add enough fill-dirt and/or rock to be able to start construction if the slope is too steep. Another area to check out before you buy is the source of water and also whether there is sewer system in place. If public/communit...

In recent months, I've met several people wanting to sell property they purchased for investment purposes. If I had met these individuals when they made their purchase, I would have guided them to a better investment. In all cases, these owners bought directly from the developer or a for-sale-by-owner. In one example, I recently met a gentleman who purchased a lot in a large subdivision directly from the developer. He bought the lot in 2005 when the market was at its peak. There is nothing outstanding about the property in regard to location, view, size, etc. At the present time, there are 95 lots for sale in the subdivision where his lot is located. Since only ten lots sold in this subdivision in the last year, the odds are against his property selling, much less making a profit. Anoth...
Recently, the Taney County Commission approved a program that could save county residents thousands of dollars on prescription drugs each month. This drug plan is through the National Association of Counties pharmaceutical program. As a member of the association, the county can take advantage of the program, at no cost. The commission voted to adopt the program and make the cards available to county residents free of charge. The cards will be available to anyone who is a resident of the county. Cardholders can expect to save between 10 and 22 percent off the cash price of prescription drugs. Just one more reason that Taney County is a great place to live!
