6 Tips for Buying a Condo at the Lake of the Ozarks

Have you been considering investing in a second home at the Lake of the Ozarks? If you love to visit the Lake of the Ozarks multiple times a year and throughout the summer, owning a second home might be a great solution for your frequent vacations! You may be thinking about buying a home on the water but if you don't plan to live there full time, have you considered buying a condo at the Lake of the Ozarks instead? Condominiums are a great investment becasue they offer resort-style amenities and require less maintenance than owning a home. With the first of the year quickly approaching, now is a great time to start thinking about investing in a second home at the Lake of Ozarks! Not sure where to start? Consider 6 tips for buying a condo at the Lake of the Ozarks below!


1) Secure Your Financing

Get pre-approved for financing prior to looking at condos. This is critical because some lenders and loan products do not allow condo purchases. Some programs can be tricky, such as FHA (Federal Housing Administration) Loans. Normally, the FHA will require 80% of the units in the building to be owner-occupied and on their approved list. Your best bet is to stick with a local lender. However, they generally require a minimum of 20% down. Be sure your financing is secured before you fall in love with that beautiful new unit!

2) Hire a Real Estate Agent with Experience in Selling Condos

Buying a condo is much different than a residential home. The purchase contract is different than a single-family home, as contingencies are based on different factors. There are association rules and dues that need to be taken into consideration. If you are purchasing a Lake of the Ozarks condo with a slip in the community dock, there are separate dues for that. A real estate agent with experience in selling condos will make sure important documents are not overlooked

3) Know What the Association Fees Include

As mentioned before, some of the greatest benefits to living in condos at Lake of the Ozarks is having less maintenance than a residential home. You should know what's included in your condo fees. Common fees include lawn maintenance and landscaping, snow removal, water and sewer services, trash pickup and sometimes even cable!

 4) Find Out What The Complex Includes

Does the condo come with a private covered garage or boat slip or are these extra? If not included, do you need them? Those items will need to be negotiated with the seller or it can make the price of the unit substantially higher. The last thing you want is to find out your garage is just a parking space or the boat slip is too small.

5) Find Out Who the Maintenance and Management Company Are

The maintenance company is in charge of the upkeep of the property. Know who to contact if the common areas of the community need attention. Most condos have a management company to take care of day-to-day operations. They enforce rules and regulations, handle the finances, and should be able to answer your questions regarding the complex.

6) Review Special Assessments

Understand what special assessments are. It is highly likely that the condo complex will undergo a major structural repair in the future. This will require money beyond the usual assessments. Generally, the association has a reserve, but it is possible for assessments to be raised for a period of time to cover any major repairs. If there are special assessments planned, they should be fully disclosed to you as a potential buyer.



The first of the year is the perfect time to sit down and access your plans and goals for the upcoming year. Buying a condo is a great way to not only have a fun place to go for weekend trips but also a great investment opportunity! Our condominiums at the Lake of the Ozarks offer resort-style amenities and our panoramic views of the lake are mesmerizing! You can tour one of our model units every day from 10am to 4 pm! We'd love to show you what living in luxury is all about!

Tips for Decorating Your Condo For Christmas!

If you've been waiting until the first of December to break out the Christmas decorations and get in the Christmas spirit, this weekend is your weekend to start decorating. If you live in a condo at the Lake of the Ozarks, sometimes you will need to get creative when you decorate for the holidays. Follow these tips to get your Lake of the Ozarks condominium beautifully decorated for the holiday season!


Window Ornaments

Garland and colorful, shiny ornaments hanging from the window are a creative, space-saving way to bring a little bit of the holidays into your home. When the sun is shining off the ornaments, it will have a beautiful reflection that dances around your condo.

Christmas Trees

You don't need to have a 7-foot Christmas tree to make it feel like the holidays. A great way to save a little space while decorating is to be a little creative with the size of your tree. From small tableside trees to trees made out of lights and hung on the wall, there are a lot of different things you can do to save space and still have it feel like the Christmas season.

Christmas Scents

An easy way to increase the holiday spirit in your condo is to make your home smell the like holidays. Add a few cinnamon sticks, four orange halves, one cup of fresh cranberries, two sprigs of rosemary to a large pot, cover with water and simmer. It won't take long for your home to start smelling like Christmas. If you want a longer lasting Christmas scent, you can also purchase potpourri and hide it in the corners of your home.

Don't Forget The Balcony

Don't forget the spacious outdoor balcony! Add a bit of holiday spirit outside by adding a small tree or outdoor lights to your balcony. If you use the same types of decor or color pallet, your balcony can feel like an extension of your interior.

Wreathes

Adding a wreath to your front door can make your guests feel extra welcome this season. It will also create flow from the outside of your condo to the inside. However, wreaths aren't just for your front door. Wreaths are very versatile. You can create smaller ones out of rosemary to place candles in, hang some on the back of dining room chairs or hang larger ones on your walls.


Less is More

Instead of trying to make your condo look like a complete winter wonderland, focus your decor in one area. Although it may be a more simple look, this will create a more spacious and relaxing holiday look.

Follow these tips and your condo at the Lake of the Ozarks will be looking festive and beautiful in no time! When you own a condo at the Lake of the Ozarks you will always have a beautiful place to celebrate the holidays. Isla Del Sol isn't just the perfect second home location, it is also a great place for full-time lake living.

Give Your Home a Face Lift With a Pop of Color

Often when people think about home improvement projects we think of extremes like kitchen or bathroom remodels, new flooring, etc. However, improving the appearance of your condo at the Lake of the Ozarks doesn't always have to be a huge undertaking. Adding a pop of color throughout your home can add some life to your space and believe it or not really change the look of your home! Not sure where to start? Below are a few ideas for adding color to your waterfront condo at the Lake of the Ozark.


Accessories

This is a broad category. You can toss throw pillows on your furniture, or a colorful lap blanket across the back of a couch. Brightly colored books or bold candles are great accents for a coffee table. A table lamp can have a colored base or lamp shade. If you are a knick-knack collector, you've probably got some in your favorite colors that can be displayed around your home.

Curtains

This is the easiest way to get color on a wall, besides hanging a picture. A bright curtain framing a window with a gorgeous view (like the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks outside of Isla Del Sol Condominiums) makes your outside its own art. If you ever get tired of the color or decide to redecorate, it's as simple as taking them down and putting new ones in their place.

Painted Furniture

This takes a little more work than tossing a pillow on a chair, but a lot less work than painting 4 walls in a room. A bright red chair or a deep blue bed frame can add a burst of fun into a room. All you need is a free day, some sandpaper, and your favorite color of paint.


Flowers

Bright flowers and the beautiful green of most plants are great for adding color to a room. The pots that you decide to plant them in are a wonderful place for pops of color too. These have added bonuses in that most have a pleasant scent and all of them are great for the air quality inside your home.

Often making a few minor changes to your home like adding a pop of color throughout your home can transform your home. No matter what you decide for adding color, we are confident that it will look absolutely stunning in one of our luxury condos at the Lake of the Ozarks!
