Martis Camp Real Estate Sales Push Home Pricing to Record Levels
The 2016 Lake Tahoe and Truckee real estate markets continue to show their tenacity in October. Sales volume is through the roof with 950 single family homes sales, the strongest volume ever. The average home price is up 16%, distressed sales are down significantly and luxury home sales continue to be the backbone of the Tahoe real estate market with a 41% increase in volume over 2015.
The luxury segment of the market, specifically sales within the Martis Camp subdivision are driving average home pricing higher. 65% of the sales over $3M are from Martis Camp, which shows that luxury buyers are focused on new, mountain modern homes within this amenity rich gated golf course community. In September 2016, Oliver Luxury Real Estate closed the sale of 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 the luxury sales volume is up 41% this year.
The median home price has been increasing since 2012 and is up 9% this year but it’s still 15.7% below the height of the market in 2006. The median home price is more reflective of the overall health of the market and shows that we still have some ground to make up, which creates an appreciation opportunity for buyers purchasing into the Tahoe market.
