Buyer activity in Truckee, CA continues to be hot in 2012 as buyers who have been sitting on the sidelines over the last few years are now more motivated due to soft pricing, historically low interest rates, and motivated sellers which has resulted in strong sales volume over the last few years.
Based on the first chart you can see that Truckee sales volume bottomed out in 2008 and has been increasing over the last 4 years. Sales volume has increased 33% from 2008 to 2011 which is a significant correction in 3 years time. We are now just over half way through the year and with the current buyer activity and number of closed sales I can say with confidence that the number of sales in Truckee will meet or exceed 2011 volume showing continued strength in the Truckee real estate markets.
