The Lake Tahoe real estate markets are hot right now and 2014 is off to a fantastic start! The first 2 months of the year have been characterized by lower inventory levels, increased pricing (average price up 22%) and high buyer demand. There has been a significant decrease in Short Sales and REO’s and a 29% increase in sales volume for homes priced over $1M has helped strengthen the Tahoe and Truckee real estate markets.
Strong buyer demand
Over the last 6 months, we have seen a 46% decrease in the number of distressed sales (REO and Short Sales) and this theme should continue throughout 2014 which will help with appreciation in the Truckee and North Lake Tahoe real estate markets. Strong buyer demand for Tahoe real estate and low inventory levels look like a recurring theme that will be present in 2014 which is great news for sellers but will create competition between buyer groups and should help push Tahoe real estate prices higher.
If you are thinking of selling your Lake Tahoe property, now is the perfect time to list your home for sale. Want to know what your home is worth?
