Luxury Home Sales Push the Tahoe Markets Higher in Q3
The 3rd Quarter of 2016 has concluded and market trends show that Lake Tahoe California real estate is in high demand as all major indicators are showing positive growth (see statistics below). Sales volume is up 16% over last year which is the highest volume in over 11 years.
The luxury segment of the market, specifically Martis Camp real estate is driving average home pricing higher. 38 of the 57 sales over $3M are from the Martis Camp subdivision which shows me that there is high demand for modern mountain architecture and amenity rich communities. In September 2016, Oliver Luxury Real Estate closed 1970 West Lake Blvd at $17.5M, the highest priced lakefront sale since 2008. Wealthy buyers are parking huge amounts of cash in Tahoe which is why luxury home sales are up 44% in 2016.
If we get some early season snow around the holidays and ski resorts open as planned, I would expect another surge of demand for Tahoe real estate. It also appears that buyers will have more confidence in the market once the Presidential elections take place next month. Political and weather-related uncertainty can slow down the market so it will be interesting to see how things shake out over the next quarter. My fingers are crossed for early season snow!
