Another Monday Holiday Coming...

Not sure what the weekend will bring - it was supposed to begin snowing sometime late this afternoon, with a predicted accumulation of about 2-4 inches. Well, the snow began about 10:30 this morning and has not even slowed one bit!  Think we might be in for another doozy of a storm. 

Showed property today to a nice young couple and his dad - a brand new listing, wooded setting, rural location and for under $100K - absolutely unheard-of.  It is always enjoyable taking people out to see properties in the middle of winter - up to your butt in snow, cold temperatures, unpassable roads, etc.  Guess the rationale is that if someone is willing to brave all of these elements, then they must be serious and will probably buy.

I guess I look at it from a different point of view, as well - these people REALLY want to find a property and they are willing to show how serious they are by driving a few hours to get to our area and then walk, trudge, snowshoe, ski, or whatever it takes to view properties which may be of interest to them.

Tomorrow, I will meet another agent and her buyers out at one of our lake listings on GREAT EAST LAKE, and it should be a bit of a challenge, depending upon whether or not the owner has been able to shovel the entry porch and to have the driveway plowed - we are keeping our fingers crossed on this one!

This morning, there were over two dozen vehicles, many of them with trailers behind, complete with the latest in snow machines - evidently the faster the better.  But what I love to see is the dozens of people who brave the elements to set up a shack or just some canvas chairs and set their fishing traps for a day of ice fishing.  Not sure how anyone has done, but I know they are all gearing up for the big YORK COUNTY ICE FISHING DERBY to be held on Saturday, the 25th of January, right here at Mousam Lake.


 

Here at EXIT Key Real Estate, is our intention to provide hot chocolate and hot apple cider, free of charge to all of the fishermen, just as a way to say THANKS for your interest in our region.  Remember, for the BEST information and service for purchasing lakefront property, see the people at EXIT Key Real Estate, where we HAVE THE CORNER ON THE LAKEFRONT!
