We are continuing to see sizeable buyer interest for this market with multiple offer situations occurring more frequently than what we experienced last year.
Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage as was the case in 2012 continues to be #1 in the entire market in terms of both unit sides sold, (131 sales) and sales volume sold, ($59 million) on a year to date basis.
The median Lake Tahoe real estate and Truckee real estate sales price for residential Lake Tahoe properties reached 423,750 last week which is up 16% from the median sales price of $364,565 in 2012. Similarly the average sales price has gone up a whopping 29% to $685,625 as compared to last year’s average sales price of $528,497 due in large part to the higher number of Lake Tahoe luxury homes sales in the market since the beginning of the new year.
The segment of the market with the highest level of activity continues to be Lake Tahoe homes priced under $500,000 as 59% of the Lake Tahoe real estate and Truckee real estate sales or 186 Lake Tahoe properties have sold in this price range which is similar to 2012 where over 66% of sales or 195 properties sold in this price range.
Lake Tahoe luxury home sales, homes priced above $1,000,000, have almost doubled from 2012 with 45 Lake Tahoe luxury homes selling since the beginning of the year as compared to only 23 Lake Tahoe luxury homes sold for the same period in 2012. Lake Tahoe luxury homes sold represents over 14% of sales thus far this year. The median Lake Tahoe real estate and Truckee real estate sales price for Lake Tahoe luxury homes in 2013 is $1,637,500 as compared to a median price of $1,370,000 in 2012 which is up 19%. Similarly, the average sales price of Lake Tahoe luxury homes in 2013 is $2,234,199 as compared to $2,113,260 in 2012 which is a 6% increase.
The mid-range market sales, $500,000 to $1,000,000 are up slightly from last year with 81 Lake Tahoe properties sold in this segment or 26% of sales as compared to 77 Lake Tahoe properties sold or 26% of sale in this range in 2012.
Distressed properties, (Lake Tahoe foreclosures REO’s and Short Sales), have really lagged 2012 thus far. For 2013, short sale properties closed have gone down 26% with 45 closed short sales in 2013 as compared to 61 closed short sales in 2012. Similarly, Lake Tahoe foreclosures REO properties closed in 2013 have gone down (61%) with 26 Lake Tahoe properties closed in 2013 as compared to 67 Lake Tahoe properties closed in 2012. Overall, distressed property sales, (Lake Tahoe foreclosures REO and Short Sales) represent 23% of the Lake Tahoe real estate and Truckee real estate sales in 2013 which is less than the 43% in 2012.
The active Lake Tahoe real estate and Truckee real estate inventory on a year over year basis is down roughly 30% as we currently have 557 residential Lake Tahoe properties listed for sale as compared to 791 a year ago at this time. However, this past week we had a slight increase in Lake Tahoe real estate and Truckee real estate inventory once again with a total of 557 residential Lake Tahoe properties on the market; 369 single family lake Tahoe homes and 188 condominiums listed for sale. As is the case in many California markets, low inventory levels are the norm and the Lake Tahoe real estate -Truckee real estate market is experiencing similar trends.
IT’S NOT TOO LATE! While Lake Tahoe real estate and Truckee real estate inventory levels are lower than normal, there are still many quality Lake Tahoe properties to choose from throughout the north Lake Tahoe and Truckee area. When you compound the inventory available with Lake Tahoe homes still priced at 10-year lows and some of the lowest interest rates in history, savvy Lake Tahoe real estate investors are taking advantage of this market and acquiring homes in many of the Lake Tahoe and Truckee resort communities.

Flu Remedy from Your Lake Tahoe Real Estate Agent
Being a Lake Tahoe real estate agent is a contact sport! Selling Lake Tahoe real estate means I get in contact with a lot of people which leaves me exposed to germs. My average Lake Tahoe real estate selling day consists of checking Lake Tahoe MLS on a computer, driving around with people in a car, shaking home owner’s hands, sharing a telephone at the office, and it does mean that flu germs lurk around every corner. Since we are getting into the busy Lake Tahoe real estate selling season, I thought I’d post this home remedy that was tried and tested on yours truly. Lake Tahoe real estate agent or not, this truly worked!
First, I have a disclosure: I had been on an alkaline sugar-free diet for nearly a year prior to contracting a flu, which may have been a partial contributor to the rapid microorganism defeat, but, none the less, I did contract the flu even with the magic diet.
After a busy day of Lake Tahoe real estate selling, I had felt a little down before I went to sleep, and sure enough I woke up with a vigorously sore throat and a general ill feeling. This is where your persistent, “won’t take no for an answer”, Lake Tahoe real estate agent went to work!
Here is a step by step, flu remedy in a day:
- On an empty stomach I drank an ounce of Oxylife liquid oxygen, which is food grade hydrogen peroxide known to kill microorganisms in the intestines, three times a day. This may cause intestinal discomfort (especially if you mess up and take it with food). I am willing to bet that half a teaspoon of baking soda in half a cup of water would do the trick also. Just remember: empty stomach! Half an hour after drink 3 pills of high dollar probiotic, or kefir or yogurt, or all of the above! First you kill, then introduce the good stuff!
- I took 1000 mg of vitamin C in the morning and 1000 mg at night along with Echinacea and Zink supplements, and B-complex once a day. And for 4 days in a row I took one vitamin D pill (which is 4 times the weekly dose!).
- In between the supplements I would take a shot of juice of 2 organic lemons 3 times a day
- Alternating with the juice of lemon, I took a raw garlic clove (at least 3 times a day, but as often as you can handle, as I believe that this was the magic ingredient!). Don’t take with lemon juice, as you are likely to upset your stomach.
- A must is a NutriBiotic grapefruit seed extract nasal spray 3 times a day. It has baking soda and grapefruit seed extract to eliminate any critters trying to get in through the nasal passage.
- And lastly, and I feel this to be an important step also, is coconut oil swishing. Twice a day take a spoon of coconut oil and swish it in your mouth for 20 min, then spit it out (don’t swallow, as you will be swallowing all the germs)! This stuff is great for any mouth funk! It attracts microorganisms, even from the throat!
And voila! You will be cured!
The whole day I was doing this I felt the virus fighting, but because nearly every hour I would take something to battle the virus, it finally gave up by the next day. I continued the regiment the next day also. So, the key is to battle it persistently whilst supporting the immune system, and not just morning and night! Your colleagues will understand why your entire body reeks of garlic! Lake Tahoe real estate doesn’t wait, especially now that the inventory is low, and the buying frenzy high, so with this technique I was able to keep going, and never get sick!
Once you recover make sure you take a peek at my Lake Tahoe real estate search page as it streams Lake Tahoe MLS listings in current time, so as the Lake Tahoe MLS updates so will my Lake Tahoe real estate page, and hence you will be the first to know! You can also sign up for Lake Tahoe real estate listing watch, so you will be emailed every time a new listing hits the Lake Tahoe MLS.
Happy recovery! Hope it works for you like it did for me!
