Greetings from Deep Creek Lake, MD-Summer Is Here-June Events

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake, MD-Summer Is Here-June Events. Woohoo, summer is here! The weather has been gorgeous with just enough breeze to keep us cool and remind us we’re in the comfort of the mountains. Griffin has been enjoying his time outside, running free with no shoes and little clothing! Ah, to be a kid again. So refreshing to live through the eyes of an 18-month old.

The real estate market in Garrett County is quite active. 121 new listings have come on the market in the last 30 days. Here’s a snippet of just a few: http://mrislistings.mris.com/DE.asp?ID=57882981716.

The Spiker Team has just listed a lake view home with four master suites in the Glendale area. The price has been reduced on an Overlook Villa property that we represent atop Wisp Mountain (with fabulous water & mountain views). And, two Lodestone Golf Course home sites with great golf hole frontage have just seen a price improvement. http://mrislistings.mris.com/DE.asp?ID=57882833238

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake-Memorial Day

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake,

Memorial Day weekend is upon us and it looks like most of the docks and boats are in the water for the season. Now we just need the skies to clear and make for a perfect weather weekend, which I hear is in store. No rain in the forecast and mild (but sunny) temps in the low to mid 70’s. Dust off your paddleboards, kayaks and waterskis and get out on the water for some weekend fun! And, let’s remember the meaning of this holiday by thanking and remembering those who have served.

The housing outlook from the “economists and experts” is that prices are expected to increase in 2014 by 4.4%. More than 100 housing panelists participated in a recent quarterly survey to arrive at this prediction for home values. (www.rismedia.com) Within our own office, our numbers indicate that we are up 10% over last year. In analyzing the activity and sales within my own team, this number feels about right.

A good many properties have come on the market within the last 30 days. If you are not setup on our auto email service where you receive listings that match your criteria as soon as they become available, and would like to be, please let us know. Our featured listings for the week are the following: a beautiful log home with fabulous mountain views (recently reduced), a custom mountaintop home with 6 master suites and incredible water views & a contemporary lake access home with a dock slip in a great location off of Lake Shore Drive http://mrislistings.mris.com/DE.asp?ID=57737315758.

If you’re looking to get out and about and be entertained, consider some of these activities:

ü Memorial Day Seconds Sale at Simon Pearce Factory Outlet, May 22^nd-26^th, Up To 60% Off All Second-Quality Glass and Pottery

ü Grand Opening of Deep Creek Lavender Farm, May 24^th-26^th, Shop for lavender products, quilts and teapots in their boutique farm store, pick your own lavender or picnic with a lavender themed box lunch by Moon Shadow Café

435 Hines Drive-Lakefront Masterpiece-Deep Creek Lake, MD. Not a detail was spared in this stunning waterfront home. Crafted with the finest materials, the brick, stucco and stone exterior attract your eye from the moment you pull through the gated entrance.

The lower level offers another wood fireplace along with a very large family room and a dedicated billiards room, both looking toward the waters of Deep Creek Lake. A patio sits outside the family room where you will find a hot tub, picnic area and hammock.

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake-April Activities-Real Estate

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake-April Activities-Real Estate. Well, I think the East Coast is well overdue for some beautiful, warm weather but if you are planning to visit the area this weekend keep in mind that Snow Tubing at Wisp Resort is still an option. Just one layer of clothing might even keep you warm if the forecast doesn’t change between now and then! These are some other activities available for you and your family to enjoy at Wisp this April:

Saturdays and Sundays Only 4/5/14 – 4/27/14 Hours 10:00 am-4:00 pm

Activities: • Snow Tubing 10:00 am- 4:00 pm open Session (Subject to change based on weather and conditions) • Mountain Coaster 10:00 am- 4:00 pm • Chipmunk Challenge Course 10:00 am- 4:00 pm • Spider Monkey Adventure Course 10:00 am- 4:00 pm • Gem Mining 10:00 am- 4:00 pm • Flying Squirrel Canopy Tour 10:00,11:30, & 1:30 (Limited space reservations recommended) • Laser Games 10:00, 12:00,& 2:00 (Limited space reservations recommended) *Hours of operations, dates and offering are subject to change without notice.

The market is picking up speed and there are still some true bargains out there, depending on the segment of the market you are looking of course. To use the word “deals” or “bargains” sounds so cliché but those are the simplest, most descriptive words that come to mind when I see some of the prices on these properties.

We had a $200K price reduction on one of our lakefront homes last week! This home sits on an incredible lot on a private part of the lake (North Glade Cove) with extraordinary decking, an outdoor grilling kitchen and a lower level entertainment room.

We also just listed an incredible lodge-style waterfront gem and a lake access home site with a dock slip.

The Thousand Acres lodge sits on 3.81 acres with 373’ of lakefront! This property consists of the original lodge home, a massive addition to the home, a new guest house and a detached garage. Plus, it offers multiple flat stone patios overlooking the water, a campfire area, playground and lots of privacy!
The home site is in a well-established community known as The Pinnacle near the Glendale Bridge. It offers a deeded dock slip, 1-acre of buildable space, a community tennis court, community lakeside clubhouse and seasonal views of the lake.
