New listing in Pine River.
450 Murray Ave | $344,900 | 4-Plex
This one’s interesting.
4 units, but not just for one type of buyer. There’s a few different ways this could work depending on what you’re trying to do.
You could run it as a straight investment.
You could live in one and have the others help cover your expenses.
You could set it up for family and still have income coming in.
That’s really the value here… options.
It’s set on a large in-town lot but still feels a bit tucked away, which you don’t always get. Close to schools, food, and everything you actually need day to day.
There’s already been some solid updates done too:
New deck
New kitchen flooring
Remote ceiling fans
$15k+ put into it recently
Roof warranty
If you’ve been looking for something with flexibility, this is worth a look.

North Long Lake just got more affordable

Now offered at $469,900.

Everyone says they want a place on North Long. One of the best lakes in the Brainerd Lakes Area. Clear water, great fishing, big enough to actually enjoy. Then they start looking… and reality hits. Price. Maintenance. Time.

So they wait.

There’s another way to do it.

This property isn’t about owning the biggest cabin or the most land. It’s about owning the experience without all the friction that usually comes with it.

You wake up, coffee on the deck (brand new, btw), sun coming in through the windows, and within minutes you’re down at the dock. Boat, kayaks, kids in the water. No loading up, no hauling gear across the yard, no spending half your day working on a place you came to relax at.

And when you’re done for the day, you’re not mowing. You’re not plowing. You’re not dealing with the constant list of projects that come with most lake homes.

You just enjoy it.

That’s the difference here.

Most people think lake ownership means more work. This is positioned to remove that entirely while still giving you what you actually want… access, usability, and time on the water.

And now the price reflects that opportunity in a way that makes it hard to ignore.

Same lake people are chasing.
Different entry point.
Less friction.
More use.

Whether you’re looking for a weekend place, something you can rent when you’re not using it, or a long-term move toward simpler lake living… this is one of those properties that deserves a second look.

Because the homes that make the most sense aren’t always the ones that scream the loudest.

They’re the ones positioned right.

This is one of them.

Out-of-state buyers are already scouting Brainerd lake homes for summer. Thinking of selling? Message me to discuss your property's value.

With only 29 active lake property listings in the area as of February 27, 2026, the opportunity for early-season visibility is significant.

This limited inventory means serious buyers are watching new listings closely before the traditional spring surge.

January 2026 data shows closed sales are already up 10% in the Brainerd area, with an average sales price increase of 3%.

Currently, lake properties are averaging a listing price of $720,628, which reflects a steady demand for quality waterfront real estate.

Early preparation allows you to highlight unique features like beach quality and curb appeal while competition remains low.

Properties are moving in an average of 59 to 63 days, a timeline that aligns perfectly for buyers wanting to close before the Memorial Day peak.

Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, demand for these homes reaches its highest point as out-of-state interest and rental occupancy peaks.

Positioning a property now ensures it captures the attention of those planning their summer move well in advance of the crowd.

Unique lake home features do more than just add character; they are the primary drivers of value in a low-inventory market.

With only 29 active lake property listings in Brainerd right now, specific assets like sandy shorelines or professional curb appeal are commanding significant premiums.

The gap between a standard listing and a high-performing property often comes down to how unique features are leveraged during the sale process.

Data shows that lake properties with distinctive assets can historically reach 140% to 160% of their assessed value when marketed correctly.

Current market conditions in Brainerd support this trend, as closed sales rose by 10% in January while average prices climbed by 3%.

A property with a rare natural beach or a high-end dock setup justifies its average listing price of $720,628 because it fulfills a specific buyer's checklist that inventory alone cannot satisfy.

Early preparation is the smart play for sellers looking to capture the upcoming seasonal surge between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Staging these unique features now ensures the home stands out before the traditional spring inventory rise increases local competition.

Average days on market currently sit between 59 and 63 days, but homes that highlight premium features and are priced for maximum exposure tend to move much faster.

Focusing on these specific differentiators allows sellers to move quickly while inventory remains tight.

Selling a lake home in Brainerd before the spring surge is the smartest move for maximizing visibility.

With only 29 active lake listings as of February 27, sellers currently hold a significant inventory advantage.

Closed sales in the Brainerd area rose 10 percent in January, while average prices climbed by 3 percent. This data suggests that demand is already outpacing the current supply of waterfront properties.

Waiting for the traditional spring surge often means competing with a flood of new listings simultaneously. Listing now allows your property to stand out while buyer interest is high and competition is low.

Current market data shows homes are averaging 59 to 63 days on the market. Starting the process today aligns your closing date perfectly with the peak demand period between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Lake properties in our area are averaging $720,628, which comes out to roughly $274 per square foot. These figures reflect a healthy market where well-prepared homes are seeing strong returns.

Early preparation, including professional staging and precise pricing, is essential for capturing the attention of out-of-state buyers. These buyers are often looking to finalize their summer plans before the season begins.

What do you think is the biggest advantage of listing a lake home before the busy spring season?
