OPEF and the Oconomowoc Arts Center

March 16, 2010 at 08:41 PM · Posted under Area Attractions & Events, Karen Trepton

Lake Country is home to several school districts, the largest of which includes, Arrowhead, Kettle Moraine, and Oconomowoc Schools. I’d like to take a moment to highlight Oconomowoc Schools and some exciting news from this district.

Recently, I posted an article on the arts, highlighting Nature Hill Intermediate’s production of “Disney’s, Beauty and the Beast.” I was fortunate enough to enjoy the Friday evening production of the show, held in the Oconomowoc Arts Center, located at the High School. All I can say, is “WOW!” If you haven’t had a chance to see a recent production by the students in this district, you need to put it on your calendar for the future. The poise and polish of these young performers belied their ages. They received a standing ovation on Friday, and to my knowledge on the Saturday and Sunday performances, as well. Here’s a clip of the “Be our Guest” number. What a wonderful experience for the students and their families. It was superb!

Future performances at the OAC include, Milwaukee’s First Stage Children’s Theater performing “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” on Sunday, March 28th at 3pm. They are accepting a $5 donation at the door, which benefits the OAC Artist-In-Residence program. This is followed by the Wisconsin Singers , performing on Saturday, April 17th in the evening. For more information on these and other performances in this beautiful new performance hall, visit their website.

Watch for my next post regarding the Oconomowoc Public Education Foundation. Formed for the enhancement of the Oconomowoc Public School System, it’s “PACE” fund allows for the financial support of the Arts Center. Visit OPEF’s website for a sneak preview of future news regarding the exciting things that the Foundation is working on. Better yet, become a FAN on Facebook to get the greatest and latest news.

First Time Home Buyers

July 20, 2009 at 02:24 PM · Posted under Karen Trepton

I’m constantly being asked, if the market is picking up. My answer is always the same; “Yes, if your property is priced right, especially, if it’s in the first time home buyer price point.” As of this Sunday evening, according to the MLS, there are 38 single family homes listed for sale, priced at $185,000 or under, in Oconomowoc, Arrowhead and Kettle Moraine School Districts. Ten of them have offers. I have just received multiple offers on my Grove Street listing in Oconomowoc, and have heard from other agents who have similarly priced properties for sale, that they are receiving competing offers, as well. Wow!

What does this mean? I think it means that buyers are heeding the advice to stop waiting for the so called bottom of the market, and are moving to receive excellent deals at great prices with great rates, while also cashing in on the $8000 first time home buyer credit. Buyers can no longer afford to wait if they want to cash in on the many opportunities that are available, AND receive their tax credit.

If you are a first time home buyer, and would like to have a free, no obligation analysis of your ability to purchase your first home, please call me at 262-567-8302 ext. 239.
