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 (Mar. 26)

FAIR. Water stained; 55 degrees; 2.96 feet below pool. Striped bass are in their spawning mindset and becoming more difficult to locate big fish. Live bait on deep flats and ledges near the big mineral arm and near the bridges. Swimbaits will work shallow in creeks and on points for bigger fish that will not leave the lake to spawn. Catfishing will pick up with the rain and inflow. Look for fish shallow near the rivers and on deep flats near marinas. Large hooks with several small shad or score a big gizzard shad and fish them on the bottom. Suspended bass are in marinas near docks and in the backs of pockets. Crankbaits and chatterbaits are working along with swimbaits near structure and brush. Water temperatures will hit 60 this week. Crappie can be caught near creeks and coves on brush and structure. Fish will be roaming shallow flats in 8-12 feet of water. Jigs and minnows slip cork fish or use electronics to locate more active fish. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass have been a challenge in deep water on Alabama rigs, swimbaits and bait. Warmer days will push fish to shallower water and structure. There are tons of baitfish throughout the lake. Stipers are in the middle of the spawning season, so this can slow the bite but the bite will be aggressive as fish spawn out. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
