real estate: REO and Short Sales in the Lake Tahoe and Truckee Real Estate Markets
- 03/26/10 12:19 PM
As we approach the busy spring and summer selling periods here in Lake Tahoe and Truckee there is a huge amount of activity for well priced homes and by huge amount I mean fiercely competitive with buyers circling around REO's with talons sharpened and ready to strike. Buyers need to know that activity levels are strong and that they are not the only ones looking for the best deals out there. The lower priced distressed sales are attracting all the attention so it is very important to be aware of value vs pricing. If a $350K house is priced at … (0 comments)

real estate: Alpine Meadows Condo Market is Heating Up
- 02/16/10 09:10 AM
In Alpine Meadows, CA we are seeing a welcomed change in the condo/townhouse market as buyers are taking advantage of distressed sales and well priced listings. In the last 2 weeks we have seen 3 units out of 14 go into escrow and there are a few units that are in contract negotiations that will likely enter escrow within the next week! This is a significant jump for the market considering there were only 2 closed condo/townhouse sales in Alpine Meadows in the last 12 months. One of the units that is now in escrow is a property that I wrote … (1 comments)
real estate: Truckee Market Analysis as of 02/03/2010, Limited Inventory in Truckee
- 02/03/10 10:52 AM
When I look at the current Truckee real estate market the first thing I notice is that inventory levels are low, very low in specific neighborhoods and activity levels for well priced properties are through the roof, creating competition in the market and leading to multiple offers on the best priced homes. If you were to look at the overall Truckee market you would see that in the last 12 months there have been 502 sales of single family homes but currently there are only 259 listings. 502 home sales represents an absorption rate of 41.8 homes per month and at … (0 comments)

real estate: Truckee Real Estate Market Analysis as of 01/08/2010
- 01/11/10 11:40 AM
There are some good signs for the Truckee real estate markets going into 2010 and there is a possibility that we are closer to recovery than previously thought. There are still concerns and questions but most indicators are pointing to a brighter 2010. The theme over the last 12 months has been savy buyers taking advantage of 6 year low pricing and historically low interest rates. This has resulted in a 20% increase in sales year over year! I have analyzed the Truckee markets on a year over year basis and this is what I found: Average Price: $639,000 which is … (2 comments)

Last week I had the pleasure to tour one of Martis Camps newest custom homes known as the "Valhalla Estate" which was craftfully constructed by Loverde Builders. This magnificent estate was designed by the award winning Ward-Young architect group and offers beautiful timberframe construction designed to take advantage of the topography of the lot and the majestic views of the 7th Fairway of the Tom Fazio Golf Course, the Carson Range, and the Northstar ski resort. The quality of the Valhalla Estate becomes apparent as soon as you enter the meandering cobbled driveway that lets you know you have arrived under … (0 comments)
