Selling in White Bear Lake With a Complication?
Shoreline value that moves with the lake level
You're selling a lakeshore home, and buyers keep asking about the water level and the dock.
The lake dropped to a recorded low of 918.8 feet in January 2013, and the dispute over nearby groundwater pumping went to court, so buyers now ask.
We buy lakeshore homes as-is, or Ryan lists yours with the DNR level history ready for buyers' questions.
