If you’re thinking of buying your piece of Lake Wallenpaupack real estate, you’ve probably asked yourself (and maybe a few others!) this question: What’s it like to live in the Lake Wallenpaupack area?
I must say, this area is about as diverse as it comes when considering lifestyles. Some of your location options include:
- On a body of water outside a development, close to towns.
- On a body of water in a development, further from towns.
- On a body of water in a very rural area on a few acres.
- A small town where you can walk to shops.
- A larger town a short drive from major chain stores.
- A rural area in a development so you have ‘close’ neighbors.
- A rural area on an acre or more so you have privacy.
- A farm on an acre or more so you can have livestock if you wish.
Generally speaking, the farthest you’ll have to drive within the Lake Wallenpaupack area to get to stores like WalMart and Home Depot is a half an hour…around 15-25 miles.
To answer the question…unlike many places out there, life in the Lake Wallenpaupack area can be whatever you want it to be. There’s a home in a spot that’s just right for you, and I’d be happy to help you find it!

Curious about how things are priced in the Lake Wallenpaupack real estate market? Check out the stats below. The first graph is for Pike County, the second for Wayne County. The New Average Listing Price is what you should be looking at if you’re thinking of selling…it is an average, but it’s clear that values in our area are still strong. Note that the Active Average Listing price line is much less ‘all over the place’…that tells me that once homes are on the market and remain there, adjustments are being made. I find it very interesting that the counties are a little different statistically.
Thinking of selling or buying? I’d love to help…give me a call!

Looking for a rock bottom price on Lake Wallenpaupack area real estate? The above foreclosures are all within reasonable driving distance of Lake Wallenpaupack, some THISCLOSE, with prices starting as low as $39,000.
I know some folks thing buying a foreclosure is a long, complicated, drawn out process…but that’s just not true. Once a home has been foreclosed on by the lender or tax authority, the lender or tax authority owns it…and they’ve set the listing price. Will you wait a bit longer for an answer than normal? Maybe. But rest assured it’s NOTHING like a short sale, which entails your offer being approved by the seller and THEN the bank.
There are many great bargains to be had…and I’ll be happy to help you find one that’s right for you and make sure your buying experience is as smooth as possible!

Well, it looks like winter has finally arrived here in the Lake Wallenpaupack area…6 inches of snow or so fell overnight last night through early this afternoon. This is our first ‘big’ storm since October.
Very good news for all the ski resorts…they’ve been making snow for a while, but nothing compares to the real thing. So, if you’re a winter outdoor enthusiast, come on up and enjoy the beauty mother nature has provided for us! I have to say, the snow resting on all the pine trees and falling gently from the sky was quite lovely.
It’s been colder too, so we’re hoping Lake Wallenpaupack ices over soon. They Ice Tee Golf Tournament was postponed until February 26th because the lake hasn’t frozen…I can’t remember the last time that happened. You can read more about it here. See, people love coming to the Lake Wallenpaupack area to play golf so much we figured out a way to tee off in the middle of winter!
If you have a momentm stop in to see me and we’ll start looking for your very own piece of Lake Wallenpaupack real estate!

I saw a report on the local news yesterday regarding new environmental regulations regarding building on lakefront here in PA. I don’t have the details handy…here’s the blurb from their site:
COULD IT BE THE END OF WATER FRONT PROPERTY?
January 12, 2012
New federal regulations may put an end to construction on water front property, and its making many land owners furious.
Last November the D.E.P. initiated a new regulation on high quality water ways which now keeps water front property owners from developing land within 150 feet from an exceptional water quality shore lines. The regulation has many land developers in the Poconos outraged because over 90 percent of the water in the area is exceptional value. Now area home builders are working with law makers and U.S. senators to lobby against the regulation.
Of course, this is terrible news for builders and landowners…they can’t even put in a path or cut down trees in that safe zone, so goodbye view, lake access and boat slips. But it got me thinking…will this regulation, if it stands, increase the value of existing lakefront homes as we go forward? I think so…it’s all about supply and demand, after all.
So, those of you on the fence…now might be the time to buy if you want a lakefront property in the Lake Wallenpaupack area if you want one at a reasonable price!
