What's NOT to love about Door County, Wisconsin? Ahh, February.  The month of romance.  ❤️Door County, Wisconsin, is very well known as a destination wedding location, and the place of tens of thousands of proposals.  And why not?  This little peninsula jutting into Green Bay and Lake Michigan is the stuff that dreams are made of!  And I consider myself an expert---I've sold many Inns throughout Door County where engagements take place, honeymoons are celebrated and SO much more.  So I consider myself a little bit of an expert in the Door County romance department!If I write about the wildly beautiful area that I call home, I can't just concentrate on Sister Bay (the village where I currently reside, after living in Liberty Grove on and off for a good portion of my life).  I need to foc...

A new month, another month closer to "the Season" arriving in Door County.  It's a bright but chilly afternoon in Ellison Bay. Thinking ahead to summer 2023:  This acreage is zoned Mixed Commercial and is between Ellison Bay and Sister Bay, Wisconsin.  This zoning district allows for business uses, but also for single family homes.  As such, this may be an ideal area for a new build for your future Door County AirBnB or VRBO business.  Located near the highway, it's also across the street from a Door County cherry orchard, which will be beautiful in the spring!  Learn more at moredoorcounty.com  It's cold here, but a great weekend awaits in Door County.  Enjoy the February sunshine!

What to do in Door County in the WinterIt's a warm January in Door County, which begs to ask the question:  what do we do here in Door County, Wisconsin all winter?  Expecially if we are experiencing un-winterlike weather?  Right now, even though it is nearing the heart of January 2023, there is no ice for ice fishing and there is almost no snow.  How do we keep from going CRAZY in the off-season if we can't skate, ski, snowmobile or ice fish, among other things?1.  First and foremost, Sister Bay has a great ice rink that is lovingly maintained by volunteers to allow for ice skating (along with skate rental).  As it's still getting quite cold at night, the ice will soon be holding up nicely for an afternoon or evening skate.  Since it gets dark quite early, it's fun to see the lights co...

Door County Market Report January, 2023 It's starting to look like a typical Door County winter, with snow on the ground and ice on the Bay.  January 2023 meant a new calendar year for all of us, but those of us involved in the Door County real estate industry don't anticipate any immediate drastic changes in the Door County real estate market as of January 2023.Lack of inventory and affordability continue to be issues that are greatly impacting the entire Door Peninsula and its local real estate market.  Right now, as of this writing, there are some listings north of Sturgeon Bay that priced under $300,000 that are still available, which has been extremely rare over the past 24 months (please contact me for more details).  People cite interest rates as issues, but you can still pick up...

The ultimate Door County rental property can be YOURSLove it or hate it, short term rental (with restrictions as imposed by the various towns and villages) is here to stay in Door County.  Over the past 5 years, approximaely one-third to one-half of the properties we have transferred have been sold to be used at least partially as investment properties, subject to the restrictions of the governing municipality.This Sister Bay property for sale was sold as a short-term rental in 2021This trend has already tightened the market in an area where homes are expensive and hard to come by for first-time home buyers.  Agents are Brokers have to be diligent and know zoning, rules, restrictions and regulations--and the first thing we'll do is encourage a potential Buyer to contact the Door County ...

When are Door County housing prices going to drop?Door County Housing Market September, 2022:  Door County REALTORS saw a slight slow-down when the Federal Reserve first began increasing interest rates in 2022, but that pattern appears to have shifted.With little to no inventory available in Door County, including for the first time in my 18-plus years of practice, including vacant land---demand still greatly exceeds supply from Jacksonport-Egg Harbor through Gills Rock/Northport.  In fact, Door County's only city, Sturgeon Bay, has had this problem for far longer than the northern Door County communities, with a scarcity of inventory (and affordable inventory) going back to at least 2017.  It is only since 2019 that we have seen prices start and continue to rise in northern Door County...

Door County Real Estate Market Update:  July, 2022Have the winds of change started a gentle breeze in the Door County real estate market in July of 2022?Contracts Opening Up:  The first thing we've seen are offers that have fallen apart with no back-up offers that have come back as "Active" in the MLS, with requests from the listing agents to please help them get back under contract.  We've seen that four times in the last six weeks on a very visible scale--properties without secondary (back-up) Offers---and we haven't seen much of that in two years.  So I do believe that is a breeze from the winds of change.We're still building on the Bay, where you'll experience gentle waterfront breezes (not winds of change).  Waterfront Du Nord Homes for Sale  Interest rates:  Well, we've all seen t...

Sister Bay Condominiums for Sale for 2022All About Sister Bay, WisconsinLooking outside from my office on a busy July weekend, I am amazed at the number of people in Sister Bay.  Yet it is everything I expected, and more.  Sister Bay has become the "go-to" town/village for northern Door County.  With multiple shopping areas (Country Walk Shops and downtown shopping, with great stores like On Deck Clothing) and two large public beaches, as well as Marina Park, where you can watch the boats and possibly the best Door County sunsets ever, there is so much to do.  The public boat tours are fun any time of the day, as is go-carting and miniature golf for all-agefun.   If you visit Country Walk, be sure to visit Twisted Tree as well as the new Beach Baby, where you'll find things for the litt...
