Market Activity Summary:
The month of March thus far has been the most active month for residential sales in 2012. There have been a total of 85 Lake Tahoe properties sold in the month which is slightly higher than the sale in March of 2011. For the year there have been 230 residential properties sold as compared to 212 for 2011 which is an overall favorable increase of 8.5%.
Median sales prices have decreased dramatically from last year by (14.8%) to $360,000. However, average sales prices have increased slightly by 0.3% to $533,081. One of the biggest factors for the increase in average sales price has been a result of a 67% increase in home sales over $1.0 million and most notably a few very large lakefront sales as of late.
The hottest segment of the market continues to be homes priced under $500,000 as roughly 66% or 152 properties have sold in this price range as compared to 2011 where 134 properties sold in this price range or 63% of sales.
Lake Tahoe luxury homes sales, homes priced above $1,000,000, are up 67% from 2011. There have been 20 Lake Tahoe luxury properties sold or 8.7% of sales this year as compared to 12 properties sold last year in this segment. The median sales price for Lake Tahoe luxury homes in 2012 is $1,310,000 as compared to a median price of $1,812,500 in 2011 which is down (38%). Similarly, the average sales price of lake Tahoe luxury homes in 2012 is $2,122,750 as compared to $2,345,833 in 2011 which is a decrease of roughly (11%). It is likely that the lower home prices have been the reason for the higher number of sales we are experiencing this far.
The mid range market sales, $500,000 to $1,000,000 are down (12%) from last year with 58 properties sold in this segment, or 25.2% of sales as compared to 66 properties sold or 31.1% in this range in 2011.
One of the biggest changes this year is in the area of distressed properties. Lake Tahoe REO and Short Sales represent 45.7% of closed sales in the market as compared to 40.5% last year. For 2012, there have been 105 properties sold as distressed sales and 51 of them are short sales.
The active inventory of residential properties is at its lowest point in fifteen months with 794 residential properties for sale. On a year over year bases, residential listings are down 30% from last year at this time. As spring and summer approach we certainly expect inventory to increase. However, the real question is whether or not it mirrors the inventory levels of 2011.
With the adequate level of inventory of residential properties on the market, homes priced at 12-year lows and some of the lowest interest rates in history, savvy real estate investors are taking advantage of this market for a home in the Lake Tahoe–Truckee resort communities.
Now may be one of the best times for Buyers considering an investment in a vacation home or investment property in the Lake Tahoe-Truckee market.
