It makes sense. The housing market was hit hard in California and the building of new homes slowed, and many homeowners were underwater, limiting the amount of homes on the market. But now, buyers are more comfortable with the climbing economy and are recognizing the housing deals available. Home sales have picked up significantly across the state. In fact,a recent article in The Niche Report highlights a few Northern California cities,
“Seldom has American real estate seen such a surge of price increases as those experienced by Northern California markets over the past six months. Median prices through March 25 are 56.8 percent above those of a year ago in Sacramento, 45.6 percent higher year over year in San Francisco and up 33.3 percent over 2012 in San Jose.”
Pretty impressive numbers for a market that’s been struggling in recent years. Properties at Tahoe are seeing the benefits of the recovering housing market too.

Home Buyers Still Outnumber Homes for Sale
The housing market is still recovering and spring is often when home sales get their biggest boost. Many in the North Lake Tahoe area purchase homes in the spring in time to use it as their summer vacation home. In a balanced real estate market, you would find about 6 months of supply to accommodate the demand of buyers. In our area, we are seeing a three to four month supply.
This is great news for both home buyers and sellers. More buyers are looking, interest rates are still at record-lows, and the fear of an unstable real estate market is thankfully becoming a memory. If you have been holding out on selling your home, now is a fantastic time to put it on the market. My marketing team is exceptional, and I have home buyers who are eager to purchase. If you have been contemplating purchasing a North Lake Tahoe home, you need to act fast. Home prices will likely continue to climb, interest rates will not stay this low forever, and with fewer homes to satisfy all of the potential buyers, it’s time to get off the fence and purchase your dream Tahoe property.
I am a full time North Lake Tahoe resident. I know the area, the available properties, the local real estate market and am a Certified Negotiations Expert. I will do everything in my power to make sure you completely satisfied with your home buying or selling process. For a complimentary consultation, I’d love to discuss what your goals are and how we can best achieve them. Call me at 530-386-0302 or click here to send me a message.
