All Sports Lake Orion Lakefront Home Sales

Lakefront real estate on Lake Orion has always been a good investment. Comparing year to year really isn’t a very accurate barometer (not enough sales- 1 or 2 extremely high or low sales can skew the numbers), so I went back 5 years. First I will compare last year (2023) to 5 years previous (2018). Second I will have a breakdown of sales for each year, and after I learn how to display the IDX I should have a feed showing a more detailed display with photos for both sold and active listings.

Both 2023 and 2018 showed 24 lakefront/canal front sales on Lake Orion (per RealComp MLS). In 2018 the prices ranged from $277,500-$784,000. In 2023 the sales prices ranged from $240,000-$1,550,000.

THIS IS A NEW SITE- UPDATES COMING SOON- SEE BELOW

This is a new web site and to get it up and going I’m just using the bare bones right now, but the sales data is up to date. I am still learning to link the IDX which is the consumer version of the MLS and my blog. Once all my pages are completed, I will be coming back around to tidy them up and add more community information along with the IDX
