THE LAKE AREA IS GROWING!  There is one word to describe the current economic conditions at the Lake–GROWTH. School enrollments, building permits, traffic counts, and the general population have all increased dramatically within the last five years. The Lake of the Ozarks now offers many employment opportunities due to enormous industry growth. Local banks are building community branches to accommodate growing businesses. New medical offices are opening up in various convenient locations. Retail and outlet stores continue to prosper. Recently, HyVee, Chile’s, Applebee’s, Casey’s, the new Super Wal-Mart, Walgreens, and Bandana's Bar-be-que have opened. Commercial business is booming. The Lake is a great place to create a second location for an existing business or to start a new business. Recently, many people are choosing to work from home offices. With advances in the internet and numerous telecommunication devices, self-employment is becoming big business at the Lake. With buying property at the Lake, as well as building a new home, property prices are steadily increasing but are distinctively lower than other resort communities. No matter what type of housing you are looking for, you are bound to get more for your money at the Lake of the Ozarks. The Lake area’s chambers of commerce can help in getting new businesses on the right track. They work closely together and with the Convention and Visitor’s Bureau to keep area businesses thriving. They provide demographic information for businesses and they can help establish P.O. boxes, cable services, and obtain other various licenses or permits.

Buying Land and New Construction >Buying New Or Adding On
Homeowners should consider several questions before making the choice between adding on to an existing home or moving up in the market to a bigger house. How much money do you have available for remodeling your current house? How much additional space do you require? Is there room to expand on the ground level or will the foundation of your present home support a second floor? What will the local zoning and building ordinances permit? How much equity do you have in the property? Are there affordable properties for sale that would satisfy your housing needs?
Consider your neighborhood--it makes more sense to add on to a smaller house than to over-improve the largest home in the area. Your decision should ultimately be based on your individual needs, the extent of the work involved and which features will add the most value. According to industry experts, buyers are always excited by state-of-the art kitchens and bathrooms.
