Lake Tahoe Real Estate Market Report Q3 2017

September was a Record-Breaking Month for North Lake Tahoe, CA Real Estate Capping off a Strong Q3

September was a record-breaking month for North Lake Tahoe, CA and Truckee real estate sales with $162M of single-family homes trading hands, thus capping off a noteworthy finish to the 3rd Quarter. This remarkable sales volume accounts for 20% of the total dollar volume in 2017, which is exceptional for any given month. In September, 140 homes sold of which 46 were priced over $1M and 12 homes were priced over $3M, which is also a record. September is traditionally the busiest month of the year for closings and September 2017 delivered.

I’ve been speculating for a few months that the Tahoe real estate markets were poised for a strong finish to the year after a slow start (due to snow) and September is proof that 2017 is going to be another solid year for Tahoe real estate sales.  Robust demand is expected to continue into late November when buyers typically take a break during the holiday season. During the 4th quarter, we expect to see a number of significant closings as currently there are 199 single family homes in escrow with a total sales volume of $182M.  If all of these homes close, the Tahoe real estate markets will be at almost $1B in single-family home sales for 2017 which is monumental as 2016 was the only other year that the North Lake Tahoe, CA and Truckee real estate markets exceeded $1B in single-family home sales.
