June South Lake Tahoe Real Estate Statistics

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with Chase International South Tahoe Realty

The South Lake Tahoe Real Estate market had an excellent month in terms of transactions closed in June. There were 77 single family homes and condos that were reported as sold on the South Lake Tahoe MLS. The number of homes sold in June was up from 66 sales in May and well above June 2011 when 59 properties were sold. 

 The real estate market continues to be very active, but we are still struggling with a low inventory of homes for sale. There are currently only 234 single family homes that are listed on the MLS as "active" listings in the city and county areas of South Lake Tahoe. There are 365 total single family listings, but 130 of them are in escrow (36%). With the low inventory of properties for sale in South Lake Tahoe, buyers are still dealing with multiple offer situations on homes that are priced to sell. There were as many as 13 offers on some of the foreclosures that were priced below market value. Not all of the properties are getting buyer activity though. There are still properties on the MLS that have been listed for a few years now that are not priced where they need to be.
