2014 Tahoe Donner Real Estate Market Review and Analysis

2014 was a great year for Tahoe Donner real estate market as the Average and Median single-family home price rose 12%. The rise in Tahoe Donner home pricing was due to a significant increase in the number of luxury homes sales (up 29%) and a contraction of the number of distressed sales (Short Sales and REO’s) which helped push pricing upwards.

Tahoe Donner sales volume was down 25% which was due to a significant reduction in distressed sales (down 72%) and homes priced below $300K, which took a lot of “deals” out of the market and thus removed buyers looking for affordable entry-level homes. As pricing increases, fewer people can afford Tahoe Donner real estate and need to enter other markets where homes are more affordable.

As you can see from the multi-year chart below, Tahoe Donner has completed 2 years of positive gains since the market hit bottom in 2012 and it would appear that 2015 will continue on this upwards trend but most likely at a more stable rate.
