Luxury Home Sales Push the Truckee & Tahoe Real Estate Market up 13% in 2016

The weather is heating up in Lake Tahoe and so are the real estate markets!  We are seeing substantially increased buyer demand in 2016 and sales volume is up 17% over last year, which is the strongest it has been in the last 11 years! The increase in buyer demand is due to the fact that we had a great ski season last winter, Lake Tahoe is above its natural rim, the Bay Area economy continues to provide stability to the Tahoe second home market and wealthy buyers feel that Tahoe is a safe place to park their cash.  All of these factors are driving demand for Tahoe and Truckee real estate and the market is the healthiest it has been in over a decade.

Sales of luxury homes are up 53% showing that wealthy buyers are confident in the Tahoe market.  We are seeing a tremendous amount of competition in the sub $600K price ranges which has created a higher level of multiple offer situations.  With the summer selling season under way, I anticipate that the market will continue to show strength.
