Dad’s Need Their Space Too!
There is a new study by Homes & Land that shows most men want their own “space” in their house. Guess who makes the final decision 87% of the time when it comes to purchasing a home? Not hard to figure that out - it’s the opposite sex.
Dad’s have a pretty specific idea what they want and the survey indicated that the list toppers were: an office/study (translated - a place to pile all the hunting and fishing magazines); a media room (translated - Sunday football hang-out); a garage/workshop (translated - a place to hide) and an exercise room (translated that means a room with a refrigerator, vending machines, pizza oven and a set of 2.5# dumbbells).
The study went on to say that 72 percent of Dads claim their own space within the home. Go men! If men had their own way (and they don’t) they would decorate their rooms with personal memorabilia (I have a track ribbon and a 4th place bowling trophy), sports items, vintage cars, tools and photos and animal stuff.
Ok, studies are great and they do give us Dad’s lots of good ideas to dream about. Anyway, I know I won’t be allowed to do any major re-decorating at our cabin any time soon.
It’s beautiful in Hayward and real estate shopping is hot so come on up and see us! Have a wonderful weekend.
Enjoy, Life Is Good!

It’s the Environment
Sawyer County has long been a favorite destination for tourists and regular visitors who want to escape to the “north woods”. So why would one want to purchase a second home, move here permanently or retire to this area?
When asked most would say it’s the “environment”. Environment defined would be tens of thousands acres of clear water lakes and rivers, thousands of miles of shoreline, tens of thousands acres of forest lands, fresh air, natural beauty, quiet surroundings, rural atmosphere, privacy and recreational opportunities.
Many see the Sawyer County area as a great place to invest and there hasn’t been any better time than now. Inventory of homes is up, interest rates continue to be at historic lows on average, sellers are motivated and housing prices are forecasted to post positive gains.
For the most part we know that home ownership is a safe and secure way to invest and to build long-term wealth. Vacation home sales rose 4.7% last year and of second home buyers, 8 out of 10 thought it was a good idea to invest in real estate. We are in a great area since our Sawyer County market has a large percentage of vacation and secondary homes.
For twenty-seven plus years I have been blessed to live in the great Wisconsin “north woods” where I can play where I work. Come and check us out and enjoy all that Sawyer County has to offer!
