Tahoe Real Estate Trends for May 2015

June 12, 2015 by dwestall Leave a Comment

Continued Growth is the Trend for 2015

The start of the Lake Tahoe summer selling season is upon us and with 5 months of sales data behind us we are starting to get a clear picture of Lake Tahoe real estate trends. The North Lake Tahoe and Truckee real estate markets remain solid with sales volume up 2.5% over the record breaking pace of 2014.  Luxury home sales ($1M+) are the dominant factor in the Tahoe markets and account for 47% of the total dollar volume in the first 5 months of the year.  There were 17 sales over $3M in the first 5 months which is even to last year’s record setting pace and supports the ongoing trend of strength in the higher end of the market.

Although there are numerous indicators that the market is strong, we are seeing signs that 2015 cannot keep pace with the 2014 market conditions.  This is not necessarily a bad thing as the average Lake Tahoe home price rose 22% last year and that is not a sustainable pace for a healthy market.  With the Tahoe markets flattening out in 2015 I would expect to see modest appreciation in the market, high buyer demand and smaller list to sold discounts.  Sellers need to be cautious of being overzealous with pricing as buyers are price sensitive and homes that are priced well in the market are selling quickly while slightly overpriced homes and lingering.
