Tracking 34 Southwest Michigan Lakes

Not every lake costs the same.

Every lake here is its own market. What a home sells for on one can be a multiple of what the same money buys a few miles away. The median home sells for about 6 times more on one of these lakes than on another in the same market.

A lake needs at least eight closed sales with usable frontage measurements in the last twelve months to publish a current figure. So a lake can hold a long, clear ten-year record and still read “too few sales” today, or publish a figure today on a record too thin to chart.
