Tahoe Update

Greetings Fellow Life Travelers:

Well, are your tummies bulging?  Maybe the days after have worked it off!  Hope you had a lovely day with friends, family and any other guests you collected.  Checked the web cam for Palisades on Friday, and it didn’t look very populated.  The weekend should be different with people coming up from the Bay Area.  Service is limited at all areas as we still don’t have an abundance of snow.  Friday Palisades had 4 lifts running and Northstar 8.  We may get a little snow later this week, but nothing major looks imminent.  Bet this was a slow week for real estate – let’s take a look!

  • Residential Real Estate – week 11/19 – 11/25
  • Tahoe Sierra MLS – North/West Shores & Truckee.  New Listings – 19; Escrows – 9; Solds – 10
  • Incline Village/Crystal Bay MLS.  New Listings – 3; Escrows – 2; Solds – 1
  • East Shore, NV MLS.  New Listings – 3; Escrows – 0; Solds – 0
  • Reno/Sparks MLS.  New Listings – 44; Escrows – 81; Solds – 56

The holiday week reflected a pretty good slow-down in activity in all markets.  Next week we’ll probably see a bounce up.  With the title companies and recorder’s offices closed 2 days, closings dropped way down.  Average sales prices continue to be about 95% of list price.  One new listing on the dry side of Lakeshore Blvd, Incline Village, came in at $13,777,888!

  • Local/Real Estate/Luxe

  • We all know that Aspen has the most expensive ski area real estate.  Five other areas offer same great opportunities but for less money:  Park City, Big Sky, Ketchum/Sun Valley, Stowe and Truckee/Tahoe!  Mansion Global
  • Retailer ESPRIT, San Francisco originated, closed a decade ago, is having an American relaunch with a pop-up in Los Angeles that opened Nov 16.  Permanent store is on the books for early next year.  
  • Real Estate across the board.  There’s really nothing too exciting to report.  Interest rates are high, inventory is low, prices are tempering a bit but not crashing, number of sales are down, and sporadic big sales continue to happen world-wide.  The market is not dead nor will it be! 
  • Truckee Skating Rink now open – Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun until the Christmas holidays.

  • The mind is everything.  What you think you become.  Budha

  • Funny thing about getting older: your eyesight starts getting weaker but your ability to see through people’s bullshit gets much better.
  • National Wine Day:  Jan 1 – Dec 31.
  • Hillbilly Wisdom:  Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a snow dance.

Haven’t heard that we have any snow dances scheduled as yet.  If we don’t get a good storm before long, that may change!   Have a good week – see you next time!
