Tahoe Update

Share

Greetings Fellow Life Travelers:

Traveling by commercial plane can have its downside, as in getting the crud the day after you get home.  No covid, but a PITA just the same.  Hate it when there’s no energy and all I want to do is hug the bed.  So, spent the week doing just that, finally starting to pull out of it on Saturday.  On the good news, Dancer had a great time and, for those who remember her episodes burying Lamb Chop when she was younger, she went right for her favorite toy the minute we got home.  Now, onto what happened in real estate this last week.

Residential Real Estate – week 3/22 – 3/28 

  • Tahoe Sierra MLS – North/West Shores & Truckee.  New Listings – 30; Escrows – 9; Solds – 12
  • Incline Village/Crystal Bay MLS.  New Listings – 19; Escrows – 3; Solds – 5
  • East Shore, NV MLS.  New Listings – 5; Escrows – 5; Solds – 2
  • Reno/Sparks MLS.  New Listings – 130; Escrows – 131; Solds – 112

New inventory is increasing in most areas, part of moving into spring and giving clients new and more choices!  Reno had a nice $4.595 Million go to escrow, and Crystal Bay had a $12.9 Million lakefront go into contract!

  • Passport for Fido in the EU!  Residents of the EU will need a passport for their dog, cat or ferret if traveling between countries. (Does not apply to us.  Every country has its own requirements.)
  • NEAT Method Reno-Tahoe specializes in home organization, unpacking and decluttering!  Fab amenity for moving into a home or needing some streamlining!  www.neatmethod.com
  • Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe opens registration for 2025 kid’s Edventure Summer Camp on April 2.  Only 2 sessions and they fill up fast!  www.hstt.org for information; look under Programs.

  • World’s largest Wooden City – Stockholm Wood City. Set to cover 250,000 sq. meters, it will provide 2000 new homes and 7000 office spaces plus more.  70% of Sweden’s land mass is blanketed in forests for plenty of product.  Pretty amazing when our wooden homes are fuel for fires and the bane of insurance companies. 

Entertainment

  • Nothing resonated this week! 

TidBits

  • Take all the energy you spend on worrying about the past, worrying about the future, worrying about what others think, worrying about if you might fail, ad channel that every into one useful action within your control.  James Clear
  • I think the decline of child spanking and the rise of disrespectful little shits are totally related.
  • If robbers ever broke into my house and searched for money I’d just laugh and search with them.
  • Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.  André Gide, French Author
  • Accept – then act.  Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.  Always work with it, not against it.  Make it your friend and ally, mot your enemy.  This will miraculously transform your whole life. Eckhart Tolle
  • Hmmm.  My new boss told me it was my job as security guard to watch the office.  Huh..I don’t know.  I’m on season 6 and I don’t know what it’s got to do with security.  Mother of Heathens
  • If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance.  Orville Wright
  • Every day we are engaged in is a miracle…a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child – our own two eyes.  All is a miracle. The Miracle of Mindfulness
  • The Sign Guy:  1)  I didn’t mean to push all of y our buttons. I was just trying to hit mute.  2)  I wish I was as thin as my patience. 3)  Boss: “Why sick on weekdays only?” Me: “Must be my weekend immune system.”  

4)  Electricians have to strip to make ends meet.  5)  If you get locked out, talk to the lock calmly.  Communication is the key.  6)  Maybe broccoli doesn’t like you either. 

  • Laundry:  1) 30 minutes to wash, 45 minutes to dry, 7 – 10 days to put away.  2)  Sometimes you might feel like no one’s there for you, but you know who’s ALWAYS there for you?  Laundry. 3)  I’m just a girl, standing in front of her dryer, asking her clothes to fold themselves.  4)  Sometimes I feel like throwing in the towel but that would mean more laundry. 5)  Grant me the serenity to accept the stains I cannot get out, the courage to bleach the ones I can, and the wisdom to remove the one red sock from the load of whites.  6) Sometimes I wonder if that one missing sock after doing laundry is the smart one.  After being unhappy for so long, it finally walks away from a frayed, worn-out relationship.  Anthony Liccione
  • I’m ready to meet my maker.  Whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.  Winston Churchill 
  • Laughing is the best medicine.  But if you’re laughing for no reason, you may need medicine.
  • Next time a stranger talks to you when you’re alone, just look at them shocked and whisper, “You can see me?”
  • If people are talking behind your back, be happy that you are the one in front.
  • The broccoli says ‘I look like a small tree’, the mushroom says, ‘I look like an umbrella’, the walnut says, ‘I look like a brain’, and the banana says, ‘Can we please change the subject.’.
  • I try to contain my craziness, but the lid keeps popping off.
  • Time decides who you meet in life, your heart decides who you want in your life, and your behavior decides who stays in your life. 

Looks like we may have a bit more snow the first part of this week, but then a run of partly cloudy and sunny days.  Thanks for reading and see you next time! 

Best wishes,
