This is mirrored in the median home prices which have been tracking up at meteor rates with our median price for homes sold data, having broken the $700,000 price point. WOW! More to follow as we do track the continued strong but ever-changing market.

As winter approaches and the holidays are upon us, the indicators are showing buyer demand having recovered, stabilized and appears to be increasing with our traditional seasonal trends.

The Feds are signaling that while we are at historically low interest rates, that we will likely continue to see slight but a steady rise in interest rates through the foreseeable end of year. This (interest rates) along with low but steady home inventory, will continue to fuel home prices. Add the stabilizing and seasonally tempered home prices, the big picture for and active market bodes well as we lean into the next quarter
In the rear-view mirror, the recent events of the Caldor Fire, the snowy December and super chilly temps and Hwy openings, helps inform our local forecast. This for a steady return to not only a resilient “Tahoe Strong” community, but what you will note is an active fall and early winter real-estate market.
