south tahoe real estate: South Lake Tahoe Sales Up 45% From Last Year - 08/19/10 12:24 PM
(This article will be featured in the Tahoe Daily Tribune on August 21, 2010.)
The Tahoe real estate market does not follow the national market.
While discussing the state of the Tahoe real estate market last month, I was presented the argument that the number of home sales are down over the last several years. Surprisingly, this is a statistic I did not track, so I went to work in the MLS and started mining data. When finished, even I was shocked at the results.
When I compiled these figures we were only through half of 2010, so I totaled the … (0 comments)

south tahoe real estate: What You Should Know Before Listing a Home (Part 2) - 07/08/10 02:07 PM
(This article by Drew Kondo was featured in the Tahoe Daily Tribune on June 12, 2010. For Part 1, click here.)
Preparing Your Home
The presentation or “staging” of your home is crucial in obtaining the highest possible sale price. Extra time and money spent making your home presentable and welcoming can yield several thousand dollars in the sale. Here are several staging tips:
1. Declutter – No buyer wants to see a mess. If a visible item doesn’t add to the aesthetic value of your home, it needs to go. This includes pictures and magnets on the refrigerator, boxes of … (1 comments)

south tahoe real estate: What You Should Know Before Listing a Home (Part 1) - 06/12/10 12:19 PM
(This article by Drew Kondo was featured in the Tahoe Daily Tribune on June 5, 2010)
The summer is finally, finally here, which means that many Tahoe homeowners will be listing their homes for sale. This can be a daunting task. For many it will be the biggest sale of their lives. Many questions arise: At what price will you list your home? Who will be your Realtor? And what changes will you make to your home before selling?
Pricing Your Home
Determining the market value of a home, especially in Tahoe, requires a great deal of skill. Value mainly hinges … (1 comments)

south tahoe real estate: South Lake Tahoe Foreclosures - May 5, 2009 - 05/05/09 06:33 PM
There is very little to report on South Lake Tahoe foreclosures at the moment. Our foreclosure list has dwindled to a mere 10 properties. Only 7 of these are single-family residences. A 90-day foreclosure moratorium was passed in late February. Thus, we should see a big wave of foreclosures hit the market later this month and in June when the moratorium is no longer in effect.
If you’re interested in receiving the foreclosure lists by e-mail, please let me know at drew@southtahoehouses.com. As usual, I have more information on properties that will become foreclosures. However, I don’t feel at liberty … (0 comments)

south tahoe real estate: South Lake Tahoe Foreclosures - January 14, 2009 - 01/15/09 08:58 AM
There has been LOTS of activity in the South Lake Tahoe foreclosure market. There has been lots of activity in the real estate market. Today was the first day I didn’t have a property showing scheduled in five days. I’m obviously trying to catch up with things, so I’ll keep this short.
Note that the home on Dedi Street was reduced $60,000. It was listed at $299,900. It’s now at $239,900.
The new listing on June Way is really neat. It’s about 150 meters from the Heavenly Cal Base. Its setting is beautiful, and it’s in great condition for a foreclosure.

south tahoe real estate: South Lake Tahoe Foreclosures - December 31, 2008 - 01/01/09 10:09 AM
It's been a while, but here's the latest South Lake Tahoe foreclosures list. A couple quick notes: The home on Bowers appears to be a screaming deal on paper at $176/sqft. However, it has an incredibly weird floorplan. Unless it sees a big price reduction, expect it to be on the market for a while.
1818 Jack Bell Ct. was listed yesterday. A 2,622 sqft. newer construction home is a steal at $519,900. They had dogs inside a lot and thus, probably need new carpet. The construction wasn't completely finished either.

south tahoe real estate: South Lake Tahoe Foreclosures - October 16, 2008 - 10/16/08 07:51 AM
After an incredibly busy period amongst South Lake Tahoe foreclosures, these last two weeks have been very quiet in comparison. Four homes on the foreclosure list went into escrow, and there are only two new homes to the list.
There were some significant price reductions amongst foreclosures within the last two weeks. 967 Colusa Street was just reduced $35,000 to $449,000. I’ve mentioned in a previous post that it’s a beautiful home with a lot of potential. I expect it to go into escrow soon. 2604 Knox Avenue saw a price reduction of $25,900. It’s now listed at $329,000. At $149 … (0 comments)

south tahoe real estate: Foreclosure List for South Lake Tahoe, CA - October 3, 2008 - 10/03/08 11:35 AM
We’ve seen some more activity in the South Lake Tahoe foreclosure market. Ten foreclosure properties went into escrow here within the last 13 days! There are 3 new foreclosure listings. The most interesting of these is at 2188 Pinewood Drive. It’s a huge 2,915 square foot home that was built in 2004. With a $435,000 list price, there’s an incredible bidding war going on for that property. Expect it to close well above list price.
It’s a busy Friday, so that’s all for now! I hope all you guys have a great weekend. If you want information on upcoming foreclosures, call … (0 comments)

south tahoe real estate: September 2008 Statistics for South Lake Tahoe Real Estate - 10/02/08 05:09 AM
There’s been a bit of a buzz in the South Lake Tahoe real estate community. Have we hit the bottom of the market? Possibly. Check out the median sale prices over the last seven months. It looks like we hit bottom in June and have been heading up in the following months. Additionally, the median list price of homes in escrow right now is $437,000. I’d expect that number to drop to about $412,000 because our sale-price-to-list-price ratio on the year is 94.23%. These numbers fall in line with the theory that we have hit the bottom of the market.

south tahoe real estate: Great Real Estate Websites - 09/28/08 09:30 PM
As a South Tahoe Realtor, I frequently surf the web for information. Given that you’re currently reading this article, I assume you also want to acquire real estate information via the internet. Thus, I’ve looked through my web browser’s bookmarks and have pulled websites I figured would be most helpful to you. They cover a variety of real estate related topics. In no particular order, the websites I've chosen are:
Zillow.com – They have great aerial maps and a good discussion forum. They also have a good bit of information on all the homes here in the United States. However, most … (0 comments)
