2009 2010 season

One thing I have noticed as we endure the worst economy since the Great Depression, is that Fish House values are holding steady. What does this mean? When you buy a Fish House, if for some reason you need to sell, you usually can get back close to what you paid for it, if :
#1 you bought it used so the "new" depreciation factor" is already figured in,
and #2 you keep it in good shape.

Speaking of the economy I believe our government is out of control on the fiscal side. Our Nation is going into debt spending our grandkids money and inflation is going to make the inflation of the 70's look like nothing. (another reason to put your dollars ie monopoly money into something tangible like a fish house.)

If you want to get a real handle on what is going on, Peter Schiff wrote a book called Crash Proof. He wrote it before everything collapsed. He predicted exactly what would happen and what our reckless government would do in response. After the crash he updated it and it is called "Crash Proof 2.0". Highly recommended reading for all ice fishermen.

Summary, our dollars are becoming more worthless everyday as our government is borrowing and printing US dollars into oblivion. Turn your dollars into real things whatever they may be, as they are losing value everyday. And of course, an Ice Fishing house is something you can enjoy!

10 Great Reasons to buy a Fish House Now!

I know you don't really need 10 reasons, but with the season entering the 9th inning, the need for a fish house diminishes. Below are 10 reasons now is the time to buy!

1. If not now, when? How many years have you put it off? Now is the time to join the ranks of those that fish in extreme comfort.

2. There are more sellers at the end of the season than buyers. Many use their house "one more time" and then after enjoying the entire season, put it up for sale.

3. There are fewer buyers than sellers.

4. Because of #2 and #3 above, you have more bargaining power. Few will give away a house, so dont try to low ball, but sellers are more willing to negotiate now rather than face storing the house until next season.

5. At the end of the season you have more choices than at any other time of the year.

6. You have more time to "customize" it for next season. You have the entire spring and summer to add lights, holes, heaters, ovens, bathrooms, beer holders, etc..... you will not have time when the season begins.

7. You have the least bargaining power in the months leading up to the season. September, October, November, December, the fever hits and the buyers come out with cash.

8. You can use it for summer camping.

9. Your wife has more time to "get used to it." especially if she thinks a better investment is diamonds. Hint: time spent with the wife and kids in the Fish House is quality family time. She cant argue with that. For those wives who want to purchase a Fish House, substitute "husband" with "wife".

10. You dont need 10 reasons, you need a fish house and now is the time to buy!!! Carpe diem!!

This months featured listing wont last long it is one hot deal. And I was right!!! It sold 4 days after I posted it on my blog. So here is another great house. A Lodge 8 x 16 used only one season. You get one of the nicest brands on the market at a significant discount over new. Lodge houses have great resale value, so if you would ever need to sell, they go quick.

Season in Full Swing

Here we are in Mid season. January is one of the busiest times for fishhouse listings and sales Just about one new house is listed and sold every day in January. Right now there are a lot of good quality houses listed at great prices. We have 3 "lodge" fishhouses from Highbanks resort http://www.highbanks.com/ that are well below the cost of new and only used for one season.

So far there have been lots of good fishing reports. Wonder with all the early snow if February will slow the bite down. Looks like we are going to be needing the auger extensions this year for sure.

This months featued listing provides a lot of room at a little price. Clean inside and great to leave on a lake and set up for the season. Its an 8 x 16 with 8 holes and a heater for only $2500.00 click the picture above to check it out.

If you come across any listing that is already sold please e-mail info@fishhouseforsale.com and let me know.
