As mentioned in the title, the real estate market at Grand Lake, OK has slowed a little. The truth is this is a common thing as we have also seen a slow down in the Tulsa Real Estate market according to colleagues. Please note that this essentially applies to the non waterfront property or lake view property. It is really two separate markets, which some realtors and builders don’t totally recognize.  The real estate market even “off” the water is still good. The thing which is imperative to remember is that “it is all about  Grand Lake” and that lake view or non the lakefront homes do not command the same pricing or value. Look at comparitive prices for sold properties which are similar when buying. We are still staying busy and are working with a number of buyers in the $200,000 to over $1,000,000 price range. These buyers are looking for a Lake front homes either as 2nd homes and primary homes. We just listed and sold another home on Monkey Island but I’ll address that on at a later date. There are also other articles regarding the real estate market here at Grand Lake  here and various web sites we operate.
