I listed the perfect lake home in Glenwood Springs over the weekend. This five bedroom, three bath home is less than eight years old, and boasts a terrific lake view, ridiculous proximity to the lake, and a rare double lot. I understand that the underperforming stock market might be making some of you a little jittery, and that’s understandable. That’s why I don’t want you to buy just any old house in any old neighborhood. Buy location and value in this sort of market. Don’t buy an overpriced home in a blah neighborhood. Superb value in a prime location is exactly what I have here in Glenwood Springs. Consider that there are only three other homes available for sale in Glenwood Springs as of today. Their prices? $2.65MM, $1.475MM, and $1.25MM. Mine is $895k. There’s value here, and it’s extremely rare to have an offering of this quality in this location for this price. Do I need to tell you that the only other sale in Glenwood Springs in 2008 was for $1.399MM, and the house was further off the water than this one is, and that home didn’t have a view of the lake?
Glenwood Springs is old school Geneva at its best. There’s a large swim pier with dedicated swimming area, and you are entitled to a buoy as an owner in Glenwood Springs. A view for your wife, a buoy for your boat, and a swim pier for your kids. Life at the lake doesn’t get much better than this. Remember, with 20% down, (sometimes 10% even in this market), and acceptable credit, you can finance this home regardless of what the mainstream media may be telling you. This home in Glenwood Springs is a winner in any economic climate.
