ca: First Jobs Report of the Year is a Good One - 01/07/12 02:12 PM
2011 trend of better, but slower than we'd like, economic news continues. (Lake Tahoe Real Estate Blog / January 5, 2011 / Richard Bolen)
Here's what it says, "The job market is looking a little brighter at the start of the new year." It's via the Associated Press and it's in the first weekly jobs report of 2012.
As we've consistently reported since the onset of the tough economic times that started in late 2005, and got worse by 2008, they key to recovery is the US housing market, and the key to that is our national jobs market.

ca: Better Jobs News is Good for South Lake Tahoe, Good for us All - 12/10/11 02:43 PM
Weekly US unemployment claims fall to nine-month low. (Lake Tahoe Real Estate Blog / December 8, 2011 / Richard Bolen)
How better US jobs news is good for South Lake Tahoe is simply this: the national jobs market is directly tied to the housing market. Steady improvement in our country's employment picture will eventually lead to first, home value stability, and secondly gradual return to higher home values.
What's good for today's home buyer is rising home values have not occurred yet, nor do we expect that in the near future. As one tracks the jobs market, though, there will … (0 comments)

ca: South Lake Tahoe, now with Two New Eyes - 12/09/11 01:54 PM
Gratitude and Progress with Cataract Surgery (Lake Tahoe Real Estate Blog / December 4, 2011 / Richard Bolen)
We must apologize for the gap in between our last post. South Lake Tahoe visuals have been just a little awkward with one eye, the new one, seeing things at 20-20, and the other eye seeing from a 20-400 point of view.
My glasses with only one lens didn't change that oddness, and as my right eye healed, seeing so good and new that it did, things did get a little better, but not so much that I wanted to spend my … (0 comments)

ca: Seeing South Lake Tahoe… with a New Eye. - 11/20/11 12:53 PM
Cataract Surgery brings a wonderful new focus to South Lake Tahoe.
(Lake Tahoe Real Estate Blog / November 17, 2011 / Richard Bolen)
Blues like I've never seen them before. Reds and greens too. And it's truly amazing. I had been told I would see South Lake Tahoe better after cataract surgery, but I wasn't told it would be this good.
Only the right eye has been done so far, and all I can say is it's amazing. I've got 20-20 vision in one eye for the first time ever. Clarity and distance distinction, I pretty much knew that … (1 comments)

Blame is much less important than solution, one presumes.
(Lake Tahoe Real Estate Blog / August 8, 2011 / Richard Bolen)
Yup, some of you may be pleased, this is our last post about things political for a while. This comes from CNN, and it's about the S & P downgrade, of course.
The article is entitled: "Questions abound after agency downgrades U.S. credit rating", and it's here in full.
Of particular interest to us were comments made by John Chambers, head of sovereign ratings at Standard & Poor. When asked about factors that led to the S&P downgrade decision, … (0 comments)

ca: The Top Ten Job Killing Companies (none in South Lake Tahoe) - 08/09/11 12:55 PM
Instead of blaming somebody else, why don't we all serve notice… on those who aren't serving? (Lake Tahoe Real Estate Blog / August 7, 2011 / Richard Bolen)
In economic times like these, when jobs are a premium priority, have you ever noticed that almost everything the political party in power does is considered "job-killing" by the other party? And it doesn't matter which party is in power, or not, because the party not in power always blames the other party for everything?
It's either all Bush's fault, or all Obama's fault, but it's never our fault for electing those … (0 comments)

What? Beach Hut? Surfboards? Well, yeah! Hey, we've got beaches at South Lake Tahoe, and we've got the beach culture, and the Beach Hut Deli! Beach attire acceptable (well, OK, it's a restaurant, you gotta have shoes – flipflops will do!)
For a completely different sandwich experience, the Beach Hut Deli is the place to go. As they say, they "don't just make the best sandwiches", they "build them". And build them they do!

ca: South Lake Tahoe in Top Ten of U.S. Second Home Markets - 03/18/11 05:31 PM
South Lake Tahoe is Top Ten in Location and Lifestyle, not in high end home prices. (Lake Tahoe Real Estate Blog / March 15, 2011 / Richard Bolen)
The good news is a few days ago Barrons found Lake Tahoe as one of the top ten second-home locations in the country. That's not a surprise, however, as we are always that.
The news that's not as good is Barrons took a look at Lake Tahoe real estate from the luxury home point of view only. There is much more to our resort than that.
