Real South Lake Tahoe Information that you can trust. (Lake Tahoe Real Estate Blog / August 16, 2010 / Richard Bolen)

stateline nv: South Lake Tahoe House Hunting... on Memorial Day Weekend - 06/30/10 01:45 PM
Is this the beginning of South Lake Tahoe Peak Real Estate Season?
(Lake Tahoe Real Estate Blog / May 28, 2010 / Richard Bolen)
The perception is that it is so, but the truth is we don't really see South Lake Tahoe at summer activity levels until mid to late June.
In the last 8 years that we have been tracking it, there is no real trend for real estate activity on Memorial Day weekend. Sometimes it's busy, and other times not.  It seems that the one thing that marks the beginning of our summer activity is the kids getting out … (0 comments)

Does one get More for their Money Now than Before, and if so, How Much? This is a study to determine if one can get more home for their money in South Lake Tahoe today than before. If so, the next important question is how much more, and is it quantifiable? To best do this we’ll focus on the two most objective factors available to look at the value of a home, which is its size and price per square foot. Lets also look at other more subjective factors such as condition, age and the availability of a newer home.

stateline nv: Are More Declines in South Lake Tahoe Home Values Hiding in Plain Sight? - 07/04/09 09:44 AM
There is a disconnect between current South Lake Tahoe market reality and buyers expectations. (LAKE TAHOE REAL ESTATE BLOG) The article below this one addresses recent comments from a few of our readers that reveals current market reality in South Lake Tahoe is not what some buyers expect it might be (here).
These sentiments are based on a disconnect between current market conditions, which is based on the median sold price and expectations of some buyers that home prices will drop significantly more. These expectations are based on recent national real estate news pieces containing predictions of a further drop of … (6 comments)

Comments that make us think: what if the market has already declined more than the numbers tell us? (LAKE TAHOE REAL ESTATE BLOG) What is that old saying about statistics? We’ve heard it came from Vin Scully, the famous announcer and voice of the Brooklyn and then later Los Angeles Dodgers since 1950. Maybe too Vin heard it from somebody else, the originator of the adage perhaps. Nonetheless, in this case it’s what was said, rather than who said it first that’s important.
We’re sure many of you have heard it, but the old adage about statistics is this: “There are … (0 comments)

(We'll call this our "duh" interlude here, its stating the obvious, but we're going somewhere with this one... to set up our next detailed study.)
There are basically three avenues the South Lake Tahoe real estate market will take in the foreseeable future. The numbers tell us we’re close to stabilization. Like that or not, it’s what the numbers, using median sold price, looking behind us over six months, say. … (0 comments)

What our South Lake Tahoe real estate business is all about. (Lake Tahoe Real Estate Blog) We've been working with a particular buyer recently. It's someone we know who has bought from us before, but that was back in 2004 at the top of the South Lake Tahoe market both in terms of demand and price.
The Buyer contacted us again in September. What's somewhat singular about him is he lives in Jakarta. This time his instructions to us were rather simple: "I know the market is down, there's opportunity to be had, now find me the best deal possible to … (0 comments)
