This custom log home in the Riviera Association of New Buffalo has been reduced to 925,000. This wonderful home is situated on a large parcel in a great neighborhood, and just steps to the beach.

This is an important time of year for both buyers and sellers in Harbor Country. Sellers that have been on the market since spring will begin to consider price reductions. Most active sellers don't want to carry properties through the winter, and they will factor this into their pricing. Buyers will find unique opportunities in the late summer and fall as these price reductions begin to show up on the MLS.
I will highlight what I feel are important price reductions, as we progress through the fall.

January has been a relatively busy month, especially when compared to the frozen nature of winter 2014. Buyers are out looking at properties, hoping to get settled in before the summer. Most of my listings are seeing showing activity, and I have had buyers on all weekends so far.
Last year was another strong year for real estate in Harbor Country, although down slightly from 2013. Total dollar volume in Harbor Country was 126 million, vs 130 million in 2013, down 3%.

Average sales price is down slightly to $349,000, but median sales price is up 9%.
Available inventory is down almost 6% from the same time last year, and this is causing a problem for some buyers.
