Greetings from Deep Creek Lake,

Ahh, spring skiing!  There’s nothing like breezing down nicely groomed slopes in 40-50º weather with a light layer of ski wear, just enough to protect your body in the event of a tail slide!  And although it’s tempting to ditch the bulky helmet – don’t do it – protect your precious noggin.  Not to fear, you have until March 29th to get in those last runs before Wisp ski operations come to a close.

Thinking of selling or upgrading this year?  I want to give you your annual update on what your home is worth.  I want you to be one of the few who are informed.  You know the genuine value of “home and hearth,” but do you know the dollar value of your house–or how much of that value belongs to you?  A number of key decisions can be more wisely made with the benefit of this knowledge.  For instance, is your home adequately insured?  Is your estate plan based on a realistic estimate of your home’s worth?  Do you know how to measure the value of your home?  A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is the only tool that provides current pricing of homes in your style in your area.  With a recent CMA and knowledge of your home’s condition relative to others that have tested the market, you can know an accurate dollar amount for your home.

 

These are a few Spiker Team listings with recent price changes and two properties that are new to the market (one lakefront & one lake access – both with dock slips!).

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake,

We asked and she delivered!  Mother Nature has been quite forthcoming with snow this season, which is well received by skiers, snowmobilers and winter enthusiasts in general.  My 2-year old, Griffin (right), had his first sledding experience in the backyard.  He thought it was alright but he would rather watch mommy make snowballs to toss to the dog!  And my little heartbreaker, Jensen (left), just turned 8-months and has had a rough time keeping healthy this winter.  Thankfully, it hasn’t stopped our adventurer from learning to crawl and stand.

There’s plenty of time to register for the 17th Annual Deep Creek Dunk to benefit Maryland Special Olympics.  The event takes place on Saturday, February 21st at the Honi-Honi.  Registration begins at 12:00 and the dunk begins at 2:00.  The amount of registrants is so great that they send the dunkers in the water by groups.  As a bystander, the entertainment is plentiful as it typically takes about an hour for all of the dunkers to make their way in and out of the frigid waters of Deep Creek Lake.  Costumes range from trunks, bikinis, rock stars, cartoon characters and everything in between!  Parking can get tight so you may want to arrive a little early and enjoy the outdoor music and pep rally that takes place beforehand.  Or, walk or snowmobile by lake to the Dunk this year.  Ice depth doesn’t seem to be an issue for snowmobilers considering the blast of cold temperatures we’ve had for the last several weeks.  Bob and I are planning to travel there by sled.  If you want to join the caravan let us know.  More details.

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake,

The snowfall we’ve had over the last 4 days has been absolutely beautiful.  This picture doesn’t do it justice.  The snow-capped, fluffy trees make driving here in the winter a real pleasure.  And thankfully, our county does a great job keeping our roads clean and safe.

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake...Fresh Powder, Frozen Waters...Market Update Greetings from Deep Creek Lake...Fresh Powder, Frozen Waters...Market Update

Our 2-year old, Griffin, is enjoying the white stuff and had his first sled riding experience.  Sled riding is an activity that is very inexpensive and a load of fun!  And we are definitely not lacking good hills for it either.  Our next outdoor playtime might include building a snowman.  Now all we need is some hot chocolate to take me back to some wonderful childhood memories:).

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake...Fresh Powder, Frozen Waters...Market Update

And another sport that is a real blast at DCL in the winter is snowmobiling.  You will notice from the photo at the very top that the lake is frozen over and just about ripe for motorized sleds.  Be sure to check the thickness of the ice before venturing onto it.  I have seen a lot of photos and heard many stories of ice fishermen that have had great success recently.  Whatever your sport, if it includes getting on the frozen waters of Deep Creek Lake consider these tips from the Department of Natural Resources: http://www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/pdfs/DCL_icedsrguide.pdf

PET ADOPTION EVENT SATURDAY AT THE HART ANIMAL CENTER

HART will be holding an animal adoption event on Saturday, January 31st from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm at the HART Animal Center. The monthly event takes place on the last Saturday of each month. The adoption event will feature adoptable dogs and cats from the Garrett County Animal Shelter. The Center is located at 1265 Bumble Bee Road in Accident, Maryland.

If you’re thinking about getting a pet, consider adopting a rescue animal. You’ll be saving a life and greatly improving yours.

The HART for Animals adoption policy and process will be applicable during the Adoption Day events. For more information, please call 301.387.7729 or visit www.hartforanimals.org.

The Real Estate Market has been pretty active since the start of 2015.  This link will show you the properties that have gone to settlement over the last 30 days.  http://mrislistings.mris.com/DE.asp?ID=61086525341  The average list to sale price ratio is creeping up a little and is now at ~93%.  This is an indicator of a pretty healthy market for both buyers and sellers.  And don’t be discouraged if you are looking online and do not feel like there is a good selection of homes to choose from.  It’s a fairly common practice for sellers to remove their properties from the market in the winter and place them back on the market in the spring.  However, I am able to still search the MLS database for listings that are withdrawn from the market and am happy to do so using your criteria.

The Spiker Team’s featured listings are 3 wonderful mountaintop properties and a Yellowstone log cabin in the central part of the lake.  View photos and a tour of each by using this link.  http://mrislistings.mris.com/DE.asp?ID=61086787877

Lastly, mark your calendar for the Deep Creek Dunk being held February 21st.  Enjoy your weekend!

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake,

Happy New Year!  Maybe 2015 will bring some fresh snow with it rather than just freezing temperatures.  Be careful what I wish for, right?  The cold weather we are having today makes conditions ripe for snowmaking at Wisp, though.

Greetings from DCL...Casselman & Stage Wisp...Tax Tips...Ski-In/Out Homes

Looking to sightsee this winter?  Take a drive to Grantsville, MD to see the historic Casselman River Bridge.  While you’re there, enjoy a home cooked meal at Penn Alps and shop at Spruce Forest Artisan Village.

Weekly updates by Betsy Spiker Holcomb of Taylor-Made vacations and Sales. Lights, camera, action!  The snow guns are on in preparation for Wisp Resort’s official opening day – this Saturday, December 13th.  The up-and-down weather we’ve had has made it quite challenging to open but the colder temperatures this week along with the dusting of fresh snow we’re getting should make for well-groomed trails.  The picture below was taken from our office window.  You can see that they are also preparing a base for the snow tubing area.  It is indeed time to wax your skis & snowboards and give your lungs a fresh workout in the crisp, cool air!

Deep Creek was recently featured in the Baltimore Sun.  The article touched on the real estate market, the history of the area, what to do and why to visit.  Another interesting tidbit I learned today from the Garrett County Chamber of Commerce is that our county has had the highest increase in visitors across the state for 2012 & 2013 year, beating out Ocean City and Baltimore.  http://www.baltimoresun.com/features/chesapeake-home/ph-mg-cl-deep-creek-20141119-story.html

The November Real Estate stats have been released and you can see that solds & contracts are up compared to the 5-year average and the average days on market (DOM) is down.  These 3 indicators all point to a healthy climate for both buyers and sellers.  2014 is finishing up strong and what we’ve seen over the last year is an environment where sellers are getting a fair price for their properties (when compared to today’s value) and buyers have been able to negotiate to a number where they feel comfortable settling.  For more detailed statistics on a particular segment of the market just shoot me an email, text or call.

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake-Hat & Glove Drive-Market Stats

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake-Hat & Glove Drive-Market Stats. Winter kickoffs here at the lake!  Locals would say that last Thursday night’s light accumulation was our first official snow for the 2014 season.  The Whistling Swans echo the same.  They almost always arrive with the first snow and once again they didn’t disappoint.  Wisp also turned on the snowguns on Saturday to blow off the dust and excite ski enthusiasts like myself!

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake-Hat & Glove Drive-Market Stats

In just a little more than a month, another year will be in the books.  There’s so much to be thankful for – our health, our family, our friends, our clients, this beautiful area for which we have the privilege to call home and so much more.  It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life not giving ourselves the opportunity to stop and smell the roses.  My children have taught me to take it all in because it doesn’t take long before they’ll be grown up and I’ll be saying “where’d that time go”?  Happy Thanksgiving from The Holcomb’s!

Our local Board of Realtors takes on several community projects each year, one of them being Helping Heat the Heads and Hands.  The goal is to provide hat & glove sets to the children of Garrett County.  It’s easy…buy a hat & coordinating-sized gloves and enclose in a Ziploc with the size written on the outside and drop off to a collection site by December 1st.  We have a drop-off box in our Long & Foster Deep Creek Lake office located at 23789 Garrett Highway, McHenry, MD.

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake-Hat & Glove Drive-Market Stats

On the Real Estate front, the numbers for October 2014 show that demand is up and supply is down.  Our Sold & Contracts/Pending Sales are up versus the same time last year and Inventory is down.  It’s pretty typical to see inventory go down in the fall/winter and back up again in the spring/summer.

These 15 properties have had a price reduction in the last 30 days.  And our Featured Listing is a contemporary home at Deep Creek Lake in McHenry that is in the heart of it all.  The price has been reduced by $14K to $275,000.  This is a lot of house for the $, complete with a garage!  Please check our website for additional real estate information or email me with questions.  Enjoy the upcoming holiday with your family!

As the leaves and temperatures begin to fall, it’s time we start thinking of ways to ensure that winter doesn’t take a toll on our homes or pocketbooks!  Here are some tips that may help:

1)     Clean Your Gutters – this will help prevent the build-up of ice on your roof.

2)     Check For Leaks – seal up any drafty areas to save on heating costs.

3)     Insulate Pipes – by insulating your water pipes and hot water heater you can save on your water heating costs.

4)     Check Your Furnace Filter – because your furnace will be getting a lot of exercise soon, you will want to change out you filter to help your furnace run more efficiently.

5)     Trim Trees – look around your yard to check for limbs that could potentially fall and hit your home, your car or a power line.

6)     Prep Your Snowblower – make sure it starts and is filled with gas and that you have a few snow shovels on hand.

7)     Clean Your Chimney – before you use your fireplace each year it’s a good idea to have it cleaned to eliminate fire risks.

8)     Check Your Iceguard – if you have electric strips on your roof that help prevent ice damming, plug them in to make sure they work.

9)     Plowing – if you hire out your plowing, I’ve found it easiest to be on a set schedule with your contractor so they know to plow when we receive 4 or so inches of snow at a time.

10)  Set the Temperature – sometimes vacant homes will be completely winterized with little to no heat.  While this will save on heating costs, it doesn’t bode well for real estate showings.  It’s hard to get that warm, cozy feeling in a cold home!

11)  Drain Your Pipes – should you choose to turn off the water and take this step, be sure to properly drain them to eliminate the risk for frozen/busted pipes.  And, if your home is on the market you should place a note on each toilet so that no one attempts to use them while previewing your home.

The Spiker Team has a great new lake view home for sale on over 3 acres atop Wisp Mountain.  A lot size of this kind with a terrific water view is hard to come by.  We also have a double lot in North Camp @ Wisp with easy access to the slopes (walking distance) that is bank owned and has been reduced by another $20K!  We are happy to field any of your real estate or DCL area oriented questions 301-616-5022, www.DeepCreekLakeProperty.comhttp://mrislistings.mris.com/DE.asp?ID=59916082134

The community has quite a few activities for the kids (and adults) this Halloween season (flyers below).  Trunk-or-Treat seems like a fun idea that gets the parents and the children involved.  Then, Wisp is hosting a Wicked Wine Tasting to benefit Garrett Mentors on October 30th.  And The Black Bear Tavern always hosts a rockin’ Halloween Costume Party which will be held on Saturday, November 1st.  Happy Halloween!

Greetings from DCL-Autumn Glory Festival-Featured Listings. Autumn is in full bloom here at the lake, setting the scene for perfect festival colors for the weekend.  As I mentioned a few weeks ago, Garrett County was voted one of the Top 10 Towns for Leaf Peeping.  Take a short drive and see it for yourself!

The picture below was taken from our back yard last year just a little later in the month but it is still reminiscent of how beautiful the area is this time of year (as well as the kidsJ, Griffin is our oldest child – now 22 months with our manager’s granddaughter).  You just can’t paint a backdrop more spectacular than this with the water and surrounding mountains.

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake-Art and Wine Festival. It’s hard to believe that Labor Day has come and gone.  This also means that some of our ice cream shops will be closing up for the year or going to fall hours.  It was only right that Griffin get one ice cream cone of his own before the season endedJ.  And believe it or not, Jensen has been in the real estate business since day 6 of his life.  He’s a seasoned veteran now, using a smartphone and all, at the ripe ole age of 11 weeks!

 

Boating on the lake after Labor Day can be a real reward for very little traffic and still good water temperatures.  The lakefront restaurants will not pull their docks until after Autumn Glory so there’s plenty of time to dine by boat.
