March 11th, 2010 8:29 AM

The Camden County Circuit Court has sided with the City of Osage Beach in it's decision for a $3.5 million Tax Increment Funding District for developer John Q. Hammons to build a $100,000,000 resort/hotel facility on the Grand Glaize Arm of the Lake of the Ozarks. The City and Hammons have been involved  in a two year old lawsuit brought on by Four Seasons Marina Rental and Four Seasons Lakesites, LLC which brought all plans to a halt. The plaintiff has a right to appeal the decision to the Missouri Court of Appeals.

Kohl's and Menard's coming to the Lake?
March 11th, 2010 8:18 AM
Gary Prewitt, owner of RIS, Inc, is asking the Lake Ozark city officials to amend the terms of the Tax Increment Funding District (TIF) that can possibly close the deal in getting these 2 large major retailers to build their stores in the Eagles Landing project in Lake Ozark. A critical part of the process is that one of the retailers wish to be located in a section that is currently in phase 2 of the complex. Prewitt has been successful in the Prewitt's Point development at the corner of Highways 54 and 42 in Osage Beach. Prewitt's Point houses Hy-Vee, Target, Lowe's, Walgreen's, Outback Steakhouse and other businesses.

High Pointe Shopping Center Demolished!
February 24th, 2010 7:24 AM
The High Pointe Shopping Center in Osage Beach is being leveled. This shopping center was the location of the original Osage Beach Wal-Mart store as well as home to a few grocery stores such as Consumers. After several years of vacancies and buildings falling into disrepair, the Raul Walters Company is moving ahead with the city's desire to see the center removed. The developers had planned to build a new $33 million dollar shopping center on this site, but those plans are currently on hold.

Real Estate Transfer Tax in Missouri????
February 8th, 2010 12:34 PM

  

Missouri is in the minority in the United States as far as having a real estate transfer tax, and we hope it stays that way. It is presently one of only 13 states that do not impose transfer taxes. A real estate transfer tax is a one-time tax paid at the closing of the property. Like a sales tax, a transfer tax would charge every seller a percentage of the total sales price. In some states, it is as high as 4% of the sales price.

The Missouri government currently has the power to enact a transfer tax at any time, but the Missouri Association of Realtors is leading the charge to amend the state constitution and prohibit the real estate transfer tax for good.

A 2010 ballot initiative is already in place. A "YES" vote means changing the Missouri Constitution to prevent the state or local government from ever charging new taxes on the sale of a home or property.

Wanna Bet on the Super Bowl???
February 5th, 2010 8:02 AM

  

Here are some of the odd bets people are taking on Super Bowl 2010. They may not be good bets, but they are creative.

1. How long will it take for Carrie Underwood to sing the National Anthem?

2. How many times will CBS show Kim Kardashian?

3. How many times will you hear the word Katrina?

4. How many times will they show Archie Manning during the game?

5. What color Gatorade will be dumped on the winning coach?

6. How many times will they show Bourbon Street during the game?

7. How many times will they use the word "underdog"?

9. Who will the Super Bowl MVP thank first?

10. Will a member of the "Who" smash a guitar during the halftime show?

11. Will a member of the "Who" break a hip during the halftime show?

12. Will the "Who" even make it to the halftime show?

Enjoy the Game!

Sales Stats for the Lake January 2010!!
February 5th, 2010 8:02 AM
 Although we can never judge an entire year by one month, January 2010 shows signs of promise. Compared to January 2009, the overall number of sales for single family homes and condominiums is up around 3%. Waterfront homes showed the largest increase in number of transactions, whereas condos remained fairly stable, and off-water homes dropped slightly. The number of vacant land sales were down, as were farms and commercial properties. If you have any specific questions on any Lake property, we would be happy to hear from you.
