2016 Callahan and Mud Lake Homes Sales Data


2016 Callahan and Mud Lake Home Sales Data

We are pleased to provide you with the 2016 results for residential sales on Callahan and Mud lakes. This information includes data we secured from properties listed on the Northwest Wisconsin Multiple Listing Service (MLS); it does not take into account sales that may have occurred directly between parties. The report provides helpful information with respect to the list and sales price, the size of lot, front feet, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage of the home, year built, days on market (DOM), etc. 

Our analysis indicates that there were 3 unit sales in 2016 on the lakes compared to just one sale in 2015. The average days on market were 284 versus 424 in 2015 while the average sales price in 2016 was $362,667 as compared to $500,000 in 2015. In a review of sales price verses list price, the average sales price ended up at approximately 95% of list price. Compared to the Sawyer County real estate estimated fair market value (EFMV) the average sales price for the subject properties finished approximately 14% above the EFMV. 

We have also compiled the same sales information for other area lakes. Should you wish to secure additional information on any sales or other real estate information, please feel free to contact our office and a member of our dedicated team of real estate experts will gladly help you. If you are interested in having us complete a comparative market analysis (CMA) for your property, just call our office and we will do so at no cost or obligation. 

Respectfully,

World's Largest Fat Bike Race


World's Largest Fat Bike Race

On Saturday, March 11th, the American Birkiebeiner Ski Foundation will host the World's Largest Fat Bike Race. This year is the 5th annual race and has grown steadily through the years. In 2013, fewer than 200 racers participated and this year, the field has expanded to 1,200 racers.

The race takes place on the historic Birkie trail through the forests of Bayfield and Sawyer counties. There are two circuits, a 47 kilometer race (The Big Fat) and a 23 kilometer race (The Chico).

Festivities will be held all weekend starting on March 10th. Also, on-snow demos will be held so you can test out a fat bike and see what fat bike riding is all about. You might find yet another winter hobby to enjoy in the Hayward area!
