Greetings from Deep Creek Lake-Market Stats-Events
We’re still catching leaves here at the lake while waiting for our first snow. Not that I’m rushing it along, but once it turns cold it might as well turn white, too! Now is a fine time to bust out the skis or snowboard and have them waxed and tuned for the 2015/16 season. Continue reading Greetings from Deep Creek Lake-Market Stats-Events

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake,
I hope your weekend was full of family fun, laughter and chocolate bunnies! Our boys, Griffin & Jensen, were not phased one bit by the furry guy. Quite shocking actually! The lake thawed just in time for a beautiful backdrop (photo taken from Unos/Honi). In just a few months the Honi-Honi lawn will be buzzing with people of all ages who have come out to enjoy the live music each Saturday afternoon throughout the summer. Dining by boat is just one of the things I look forward to doing on the lake each season. Paddleboarding, water skiing and fishing are also up there on my list!
Real estate inventory is climbing, as it typically does in the spring. If you are contemplating investing in your family’s future at the lake, be sure to let us know if you have not been setup on our auto email program. We use the MLS database to create your search, which includes all company’s listings, saving you the hassle of having to visit different websites to find potential properties. This program allows us to build a customized search using your parameters so that you will be notified of new listings that come on the market within your criteria. The information needed from you in order for us to build this is: 1) Land or Home, 2) Price Range, 3) # of Bedrooms & Baths, 4) Lot size, 5) Water Orientation (Lakefront, Lake Access and/or Lake View), 6) any other Features that are important (i.e. a garage, rental income, fireplace, etc).

It’s That Time…Start Scheduling Your Summer Home Maintenance Projects
This time of year is when our minds tend to shift toward cleaning up our yards, garages and vehicles. To get started, begin compiling a list of projects to get your home ready for the new season. Consult the checklist to keep projects organized and on schedule.
Clean your outdoor cooker – Make sure to get ready for all of those upcoming BBQs you will be having in the summer months by deep cleaning your grill.
To clean a gas grill: Turn up the heat to high with the lid closed for about 30 minutes. Once the grill has cooled down, use a grill brush to clean the grill.
To clean a charcoal grill: Empty the grill completely, cleaning off any leftover ashy residue with dish soap and warm water. Allow enough time for the grill to dry before you use it next.
Plan a watering schedule – Planning a watering schedule will ensure that your plants will stay healthy and hydrated during the hot summer months.
Trim tree limbs touching or near roof surface – Summer months can mean stormy weather. By performing regular tree maintenance you can reduce the risk of storm damage.
Vacuum upholstery and pillows – After getting the patio furniture out of storage, vacuum the upholstery to remove dirt and dust.
Clean out rain gutters and storm drains – Removing debris from gutters and storm drains can prevent clogging during storms.
Change out the HVAC filter – Put in a fresh filter at the start of the season to prevent indoor air pollution.
Wash all windows – Since the temperatures are up, this is a great time to get out and clean your windows.
Have your roof inspected – Have your roof inspected for leaks every 3-4 years or more often as it ages.
Clean out dryer vents – This is the perfect time to check your dryer vents to prevent build up.

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!).
Lakefront, 5 Bedrooms – Price Change
Slopefront + Water Views – Price Change
Lakefront Townhome – Dock, New Listing
Lake Access – Dock, Est. Rental, New Listing
Have a wonderful week and feel free to reach out to us!
Warm regards,
