Lake Texoma Real Estate Update for February 2012




You've heard the saying, "HOME is where the HEART is". That was certainly TRUE for February 2012 in the Lake Texoma area. The following statistics from NTREIS revealed that from February 1, 2012 to February 29, 2012, there were 52 properties SOLD or PENDING for Pottsboro and Denison, compared with only 26 properties SOLD for the same time period in 2011. The continued decline in inventory and new listings is a leading indicator that price levels will soon stabilize,and, inevitably trend upward. This week, Warren Buffet said that the best investment right now is to find a good property, while prices are at their lowest levels since the Financial Crisis, BUY it, hold on to it until prices climb back up. NOW is the time to BUY! I don't know about you, but, I am a Warren Buffet fan and believer! When it comes to lake properties, BUYERS are always asking us, "What should I know before purchasing a lake property?" There are three important questions that BUYERS may want to ask their realtor: 1. What are the taxes? 2. Are there HOA's, and if so, how much? 3. Where does the Corps land begin? With these 3 questions answered, you are well on your way to a LAKE property purchase that will make your HEART soar and chase away those winter blues! On a final note...this week, while completing a lake property transaction, we contacted the United States Army Corps of Engineers to inquire about a boat dock permit. The Tulsa District, USACE, was very professional and helpful in answering our question. If you have a question about boat docks you may contact Josh Wingfield, Park Ranger, Lake Texoma at 903-465-4990 or email him at [email protected].

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 9)

FAIR. Water stained; 84 degrees; 1.87 feet above pool. Striped bass fishing is hit and miss but fish are starting to surface on shallow sand flats and in cuts. Top waters and swimbaits are working as well as live bait drifting shallow 10-15 feet of water or anchoring on main lake ledges in 15-25 feet of water. Catfishing remains excellent on punch bait in 25-30 feet of water on humps and main lake points. Bigger blues will be cruising the deeper water drift while gizzard shad or rough fish off of the river channels on flats in 40-55 feet of water. Bass fishing is good on hard baits and reaction baits near docks and the backs of coves early in the mornings and late evenings. Fish main lake points and rock bluffs mid day off the banks. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are good on topwaters in shallow water, switching to slabs as fish move out to 15 feet of water. Water clarity is improved. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
