The sales of Delavan Lake properties in 2019 has caused a shortage of homes available for the start of 2020. For 2019 there were 20 homes on Delavan Lake that sold compared to 15 in 2018 and 25 in 2017. Sales of lake access properties were also strong with 49 sales in 2019 compared to 45 in 2018 and 46 in 2017.
Sales of Delavan Lakefronts ranged from $247,500 for a tattered five bedroom cottage off of Bennett Street on the south shore to $1,586,304 for a custom new construction home just a short distance away.
Lake access properties that sold in 2019 ranged from $42,000 for a decaying four bedroom on Orchard Street in South Shore Manor to $510,000 for a four bedroom two-story in Windtree Acres on the north side of the lake. The Windtree property featured lake views from a wrap-around deck and a deep water boat slip.
The sales of lake access condominiums also soared last year with 28 units sold compared to 20 in 2018 and 21 in 2017. The units ranged from $47,000 for a one bedroom condo/hotel room in the Lake Lawn Resort to a gorgeous three bedroom unit with lake views in Delavan Gardens off of North Shore Drive.

The strong sales over the last year have left the inventory of homes in a very weak position. There are only five condominiums for sale compared to 10 at this time last year and 13 in 2018.
In regards to lakefront and lake access homes, there are only 18 currently on the market compared to 24 in 2019 and 33 in 2018. This limited supply has pushed up prices across the board with many home owners holding out for top dollars.
