Highest priced home or condo sold:  This month the prize goes to a DONNER LAKEFRONT.  14732 Southshore Drive, 5 beds, 6 baths and a 3 car garage with 6326 square feet went for $3,700,000.  Originally priced at $4,000,000, the buyer saved himself $300,000. by paying ALL CASH.  Only 40 days on the market – I would say the sale was made in heaven.

Lowest priced home or condo sold:  at $151,000 someone got his/her little piece of Tahoe.  4090 High St. in Carnelian Bay, a 1432 square foot fixer “A” frame, priced right because this buyer snagged it after only 5 days on the market.

The list to sell ration on the median was 92%.  In other words, the homes sold within 92% of the list price.  The median list price for this period was $487,000, median sale price was $449,500.  Major Deals out there people!!!
