Fun fact that never gets old: Otter Tail County has more lakes than any other county in the entire United States. Over 1,000 of them. 🌊

That means lake and waterfront properties are a huge part of this market — and there's a lot more to evaluate than just the view. Frontage type, water clarity, setbacks, access rights, dock permits — it matters.

When you're buying or selling on the water, you want someone who knows this area at that level.

What's YOUR favorite lake in Otter Tail County? Drop it in the comments — I love hearing these. 👇

5 Things That Hurt Your Home's Value This Time of Year

Summer buyers will pull up to your home and make a judgment before they even walk in the door. Here's what they notice:

🌿 Overgrown yard or dead landscaping — curb appeal is everything in June
🪟 Dirty windows — they're the eyes of the house
🐾 Pet odors inside — you've gone nose-blind, buyers haven't
💡 Dated light fixtures — a $75 swap makes a surprising difference
🎨 Scuffed walls — a fresh coat of neutral paint = instant perceived value

Most of these fixes cost under a few hundred dollars and can add thousands to your sale price.

Thinking about listing this summer? DM me for a free walk-through consultation. I'll tell you exactly what's worth doing and what isn't.

☀️ Summer is here — and so is the Fergus Falls real estate market.

Here's a quick snapshot of where things stand right now, straight from MLS data:
🏡 Median sale price: $235,000
⚡ Median days on market: 13 days
💯 Sellers getting 100% of list price
📋 38 active listings available right now
🔥 2.92 months of inventory - Seller's market
🔑 Buyers — inventory is slowly ticking up, but don't mistake that for breathing room. Competition is still real.
📉 The 30-year fixed rate is sitting at 6.48% this week. Not where anyone wants it, but buyers are still moving — because waiting rarely works out in a market like this.

This is peak season. Buyers are active, inventory is limited, and homes are moving fast.

If you've been sitting on the fence about buying or selling — this is the window. Waiting doesn't usually mean a better deal. It usually just means less options.

Questions about where you stand? Drop a comment or send me a message and let's talk through it.

Real Estate Myth Busting 💥

MYTH: "You need 20% down to buy a home."
FACT: Most first-time buyers in Minnesota put down 3–10%.

MYTH: "I need to wait for rates to drop before I buy."
FACT: Waiting costs you equity. You can always refinance — you can't buy yesterday's price.

MYTH: "I must sell before I can buy."
FACT: Bridge loans and contingency offers exist for exactly this situation.

MYTH: "I should buy the most house I can afford."
FACT: Buy what fits your LIFE — not the max the bank will give you.

Which of these surprised you? 👇
