Tahoe Real Estate market performs quite differently than the national average. Even in an area the size of Lake Tahoe, market trends can vary dramatically from neighborhood to neighborhood. When you are contemplating a large financial commitment such as the purchase or sale of a home, your neighborhood’s micro-market data can make a big difference in your financial decisions.
Sierra Sotheby’s International Realty compiles quarterly and year-end reports of micro-market statistics to help you make better real estate decisions where it matters to you. If your community is not listed, or if you’re unsure what the data means for your transaction, simply contact one of our local associates —they will be happy to pull a report for you and help you interpret the results.

The Lake Tahoe real estate market boasted a 30% increase in sales volume with a big jump in sales in Truckee and a moderate increase in South Lake, plus a $25 Million lakefront sale in Incline Village that boosted totals there. With median prices dipping in some areas and increasing 5-10% in the busier locals, the overall Tahoe-Truckee market is still seeing a steady growth in pricing and sales.

Incline Village Market Insight
Overall, condo sales jumped the most this spring, as did homes under $2 Million. Single family homes are taking longer to sell averaging over 300 days on market, while condos are selling more quickly than in 2015. The bulk of home sales are in the $1M- $2M price range, with larger inventory in this range. There are fewer lakefront homes on the market in Incline Village, although pricing for shared HOA lakefront properties is attractive. With a strong start to the summer selling period, we look for a jump in sales through our 3rd quarter which is typically the busiest time for sales at the Lake. The weather has been beautiful with Lake levels making boat launching easier, and lots of residents and visitors alike enjoying summer at Lake Tahoe.
