The inventory of homes for sale in the Tahoe Keys area of South Lake Tahoe has gone down a bit since last year, but there are still some great houses to choose from. Currently there are 51 houses in the Tahoe Keys listed on the South Lake Tahoe MLS. There are 42 active Keys listings and 9 active pending listings. In September 2009 the inventory was up to 70 total listings with 13 houses in escrow.

The majority of Tahoe Keys homes for sale are currently priced under $1,000,000. 27 out of the 42 active Keys houses are priced under $1,000,000.  8 out of the 9 houses that are in escrow are also priced under $1,000,000.

Distress sales account for 6 out of the 9 houses that are in escrow in the Tahoe Keys. There are 5 short sales and 1 foreclosure currently in escrow. The ratio of distress sales to regular sales in the Tahoe Keys is almost the same as it is in the rest of South Lake Tahoe. There are 105 houses in escrow in South Lake Tahoe and 68% of them are either short sales or foreclosures (67% distress sales in the Tahoe Keys).

So far in 2010 there have been 5 houses in the Tahoe Keys that have been sold on the South Lake Tahoe MLS. The average sales price was $798,000 and the median sales price was $750,000. The average price per square foot was $366. Only one of the houses sold was a foreclosure, and no short sales have closed escrow in the Keys so far this year.

My listing on 2213 Texas is a great example of one of the great houses to choose from in the Tahoe Keys. 2213 Texas is a recently remodeled 1440 square foot, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage home offered at $482,000. This is a great opportunity to own a waterfront home for under $500,000! For more information about this house or other homes for sale in the Tahoe Keys, please call Brent Johnson at (530) 416-2625.
