Selling used ice fishing houses

Traffic on http://www.fishhouseforsale.com/ is definitely picking up, and will continue to pick up as the fall progresses. From now until about March, many Ice Fishing Houses will be bought and sold. April thru August, is steady, but only about 1/5 the volume of the colder months.

Sometime this fall, we will hit the $1 million dollar mark in sold Ice Houses! We are happy that our website has made searching for your next fish house so easy, and provides maximum exposure to buyers when you are selling. Currently over 85 houses of all types, sizes, and price ranges are listed.

For those selling a house, a few points to remember.:

  • Check out the sold listings to get a good idea of the value of your house. Price it too high and it will sit unsold forever.
  • Clean out the "stuff" before you take pictures!! A clean Fish House is much more attractive than one with "ice fishing gear, buckets, junk etc...(I saw one with an old tire sitting in the house).
  • Be descriptive, the more you tell about your house, the better. Highlight any feature about the Fish house that you especially enjoyed. If I were to sell my 10 x 20 right now, space, and an indoor bathroom for my wife and daughter are features I really like. Its my "cabin on ice" on the weekend, and the more room the better!
  • Be accurate, nobody will buy your house if they are expecting one thing and then get to your house and find something less. It wastes your time and theirs.
Thanks for your participation!

Welcome to FishHouseForSale

We decided to add this feature to give a voice to www.FishHouseForSale.com regarding information and issues pertinent to those of us who Ice fish with, or aspire to fish with an Ice Fishing House. Only about 5 months to go before we are back on the ice!!!!

Hope you like it!

We have also added a login feature for those who post fish Houses to allow you to edit your listing, and mark it sold. Current customers will not have access to this feature, going forward, future customers will.
