Lake Tahoe Real Estate Sales Volume is Trending Upwards

June 8, 2012 by dwestall 1 Comment

Last week a client was asking me about the Lake Tahoe and Truckee Real Estate markets and whether supply and demand are in balance.  In my response to my client I put together an email that calculated the absorption rate for Lake Tahoe real estate and I determined that the Lake Tahoe and Truckee real estate markets are currently balanced, but just barely.

Here is how I calculated the Lake Tahoe and Truckee real estate absorption rate:

1) Number of active single family residential (SFR) listings in all of Truckee/N. Tahoe (MLS Areas 1-9) = 524 Listings

2) Number of SFR sales in the last 12 months (May 30th 2011 to May 30th 2012) = 949 Sales

3) Divide the number of sales by 12 months 949/12= 79 sales per month

4) Divide the current inventory by sales per month 524/79 = 6.6 months of inventory

5) According to the defined market conditions below 6.6 months of inventory equals a Balanced Market.

Defined Market Conditions
Sellers Market = 1-4 months of inventory
Balanced Market = 5-7 months of inventory
Buyers Market = 7+ months of inventory

In the last 6 months I have found that buyers have very few choices in a given price points. For example, if a buyer is looking for a home that is move in ready and does not have lots of differed maintenance there are very few choices which equates to limited supply.  It has become a more regular trend over the last 6 months that when we find well priced homes that are move in ready there always seem to be multiple offers (strong demand) and it is difficult to get a buyers offer accepted by the seller unless we submit a very strong offer.

In order to further illustrate the increased demand for Lake Tahoe Real Estate I have put together the chart below that graphs out Month over Month Lake Tahoe sales trends from 2008 to 2012.  Each color in the chart represents a different month and each month surveys single family sales volume from 2008 to 2012.  In this chart I have also included a trend line that easily shows that Lake Tahoe sales volume is trending upwards!
