You can see on the graph below that the over-all Tahoe Donner home price trend for the average median home sold sales price move up and 2018 just edged out 2006.
The Tahoe Donner single family home prices were up +6.4% for 2018, with a median average sales price of $719,000 (TSMLS Areas 9TD), which is a new closing high for Tahoe Donner, moving above the 2006 average median home sales price of $712,500.
A common question I am often asked by Buyers and Sellers is:
- "What percentage of the listed price are Sellers getting on their Tahoe property?"
In 2018, Sellers realized 99.2% of the their listed price to the sold average median sales price in the greater Tahoe Donner area (MLS Areas 9TD).
This is almost at the over-all region, which was slightly higher at 99.5%.
In every day terms, this means Sellers are very close to their full asking price, if they have priced their property correctly.
It also means Tahoe Buyers that want to low-ball, or be really aggressive on their offered price are going to have a hard time in this market.

Tahoe Home Buyers should do the following:
- See new listings as soon as possible. Tahoe second home Buyers should try to driving up the next day to see the property and not wait until the weekend.
- Ready, set, go! Be prepared to make a buying decision immediately.
- Work with an experienced local Tahoe Real Estate Agent. They understand the market conditions, and many Buyer Agents know how the other side negotiation tactics.
- If you will need a loan, make sure your lender has approved you. You will need to move quickly and not having your loan lined up will put you at a disadvantage.
- If you are buying a condo or townhome in the area, make sure you are using a local lender. Using a local lender that has recently processed a loan in the complex you want to buy in will do two things for you. One, you will have the confidence that the lender has already reviewed their HOA docs and previously approved the development, increasing your odds of the same outcome. Second, Sellers that know you have selected a lender with this experience will give you extra credit for knowing your lender is ready to go on their property.
