Year End Numbers 2012 was an improvement for real estate sales in Shell Knob.  This is a location with a small population -  somewhat unique, with residents consisting  of retirees living here full time,  but  summertime finds younger families with long range retirement plans buying property on Table Rock Lake. Potential clients are basically in their 50's age-wise.  They are drawn to the area for both the recreation on a clean, large lake , and the low cost-of-living.   The retirees, eventually sell as age or illness mandates they get more help.   The average sale price in 2012 was $155,000.  This was a 3% drop in price from 2011. There was also a 2.13% reduction in the List to Sell Ratio from  95.6% in 2011, to 93.6% in 2012. Call me for information on Table Rock Lake or any communiti...

18 ACRE HEAVILY WOODED PARCEL ON TABLE ROCK LAKE offers a rare opportunity. Picture a pleasant 10 mile drive thru Ozark's Mark Twain National Forest,  arriving at a secluded, but not isolated, parcel of oaks, hickory and walnut facing 880' of gentle waterfront, with 200+ feet of community dock approval. This has been a family camp - sometimes termed a 'Fish Camp'.  iT has a modest doublwide that is livable while building a dream lake home.                                         mls:  350123  The special bonus here is the zoning for a boat dock.  Table Rock Lake is a Corps of Engineers project.  The Corps has limited the amount of boat docks that can be installed on the lake.  This property has pre-approval for a 12 Slip Community Boat Dock to be installed.  Boat slips are highly valued...

Sales are improving - so can we leave our Angry Bird faces at home?   April 2012 is proving to be a big improvement from April 2011.  It feels like the buyers are coming out to see what there really is in Shell Knob's Table Rock Lake property.Everyone is looking for a bargain and expecting to pay half of what they may have checked out a year ago.  It is true that home values have dropped 8% from the previous April sales figures.  However, it is taking longer to sell .  The Days On The Market are currently coming in at 238 days before being sold.  It was 205 days for April 2011 sales.I've seen more activity this month, then we've had in many moons.  If gas prices continue to go down, will our sales volumne rise?

KLEPTO DOG IN SHELL KNOB? It's happening again.  My dog is a canine kleptomaniac!   Last year she showed up with a rack of BBQ ribs. A few months later, it was a turkey leg, and this spring she gifted us with a ham bone complete with  meat ! Embarrassed, I spoke with our two closest neighbors who deny finding any food missing.  So where is she getting this loot?  It is quite a mystery. Our home is about 18 miles from Shell Knob. Most homes on this peninsula are separated by 2 or more acres, and we have room outdoors for quite a bit of wildlife. So I was not shocked to find a fairly large deer skull, complete with teeth sitting in the grass in front of our house.  Maybe I should mount it on top of her dog house as a trophy - announcing -  "Cocoa Mighty Thief". Enough about dog houses, I ...

  Ever wonder what your dog does when you can't see him? I live in a rural area in the Ozarks on beautiful Table Rock Lake, about 12 miles from Shell Knob, Mo. Most of the time, our three acres is large enough for our dog to chase squirrels, lizards and dig up moles. However, there have been times when we wish we had a camera mounted on her head to see where travels have taken her. It would be helpful to know who we should be apologizing to.               She is a fairly large dog - about 65 pounds - chocolate brown, which makes her fairly visible. She's not small and quick like a beagle or terrier. That being said..... who lost the rack of bbq ribs she came home with last summer? Where did the turkey leg with partial breast attached come from? Then last night she may have gone fishing ...
