Tahoe Update

Greetings Fellow Life Travelers:

After an impromptu 3-week hiatus, am back in the saddle and trotting toward summer action at Tahoe!   Bundled up in parkas this last week, we look toward indication that spring will again return this next week. Pollen invasion started, then got halted with rain, and now we wait to see if it comes back with a vengeance – or is over for the year?  Let’s see what’s taken place in the real estate world over the last three weeks.

Residential Real Estate – weeks 05/09 – 05/29 

For North/West Shores, one new lakefront listed at $10.5M went to escrow – after two seasons on the market. My Fleur du Lac listing also went right into escrow.  The rest of the Andrews estate in Kings Beach sold at asking of $19.650M.  Four additional  lakefronts came on the market – from $7.6M – $25M.   On the East Shore, a listed $12M went to escrow, and one listed at $36.775M sold.  

Lakefront Update:  North/West Shore – 15 Active, 2 in Escrow, 4 Sold so far this year.  Incline/Crystal Bay – 2 Active, 1 in Escrow, 2 Sold this year. (In addition, another two properties sold to one buyer for $132M, not posted in MLS.) East Shore has 4 Active, 1 in Escrow and 6 Sold this year.  Now the pace should start picking up!
