Fall is spectacular in the Heart of the Lakes.The leaves are starting to change, the orchards are open and the kids are back in school...fall has arrived! It is the perfect time to cruise the dirt road you've never been down, fish the lake you haven't been on, and explore the properties you've been dreaming of!

A beautiful holiday week is upon us, and we hope you will be spending it with friends and family in the Heart of the Lakes. This years Annandale’s Fourth of July Celebration continues a tradition of fun the 4th brings to our community and it is more exciting year after year. The carnival is certainly the central hub of activity. Grab some great food that supports local groups and organizations, enjoy the parade in the afternoon and watch the fireworks in the evening.

Spring is here in the Heart of the Lakes and we have been certainly enjoying the warmer weather and fresh air. Whether you are looking for a seasonal cabin, year-round home or a piece of land to build your dream home on, we can help you find it. 

We have been exhibiting at the Lake Home & Cabin Show since its creation 14 years ago. It draws visitors with a love for lakes, introducing to them products and services related to ownership and lifestyle on the water. Many are eager buyers looking for the perfect get-away home. We are able to meet these buyers face to face and tell them about the Annandale Area and our beautiful lakes, and hopefully tell them about your property!  Although the show has been cancelled this here and we are truly bummed out, we are looking forward to 2022.

We are excited to share with you our first Heart of the Lake Property Portfolio of 2021 as we introduce an all new look! You'll certainly find some great opportunities to purchase your very own slice of heaven as you page through our Winter Edition. We hope this finds you well and enjoying a Minnesota Winter in the Heart of the Lakes.

This is one of the most often questions asked of real estate professionals from homeowners looking to sell. Based on market activity, many would simply answer…in the spring. It makes sense, right? The trees are budding, grass is turning green, and many sellers are beginning the ever exciting ‘spring cleaning’ routine. While we agree that spring is a good time to sell, we also believe the winter months are an exceptional time to list as well.  

The holidays are upon us and the annual Oak Realty Coloring Contest starts this week. Be sure to get the whole family involved! Subscribers to the Annandale Advocate, Kimball Tri-County News and Maple Lake Messenger can find colorings in their paper.
