california: Tahoe Donner, Truckee California real estate update October 2013 - 10/02/13 09:47 AM
The North Lake Tahoe and Truckee real estate market bottomed at the end of 2012. Demand was very strong in 2013 especially in the first quarter. The challenge for buyers was that inventory was tight. Inventory throughout the year has remained at the lowest levesl since record keeeping was commenced.
The 3 minute video below provides a Tahoe Donner real estate market update for the first 3 quarters of 2013. The numbers are very interesting. Certainly different subdivisions and price ranges experienced different rates of appreciation. The subdivisions that had the steepest price declines recovered the most, following the national trend.

There have been some incredible deals in the last couple of months, especially in the lot department.

Re: Truckee Area Real Estate Market
Dear Client;
Market Overview

Home inventory levels are slightly higher than last year and recent sales activity has been more concentrated in the lower ranges of the market. The last couple of weeks saw an increase in the number of sales over $1 million.

Dear Client;
Market Overview
Headlines abound with all the problems across the country. They also highlight the number of investors in the market place. Just like the stock market, for everyone selling, there is someone buying.

Sellers who bought in earlier years have still done exceptionally well with their investment. For first time buyers, this is a second chance with great prices and mortgage … (0 comments)

How much is a view worth? Here is an excerpt from a MSN real estate.
 
It's a power thing
Real-estate market analyst Ernest V. Siracusa Jr. is experienced in pricing views in Southern California. He works for subdivision builders and developers, advising them on how much their new homes can sell for -- and how much more the same place with a panoramic sweep of the hills can command.
