Must be 21+ age for beer/adult beverages/tastings.

Our spring weather can be unpredictable – sunshine, rain, even snow.

If you’re headed up here to the greater Tahoe City – Truckee area for the Winter Wonder Grass Festival my suggestion is to dress warm.

Dress in layers, and if you don’t already have a plastic rain poncho (most hardware stores have them) that can fold up and fit in a pocket, buy one now.

I can tell you from personal experience, while the rain poncho with attached hoodie will not make the best dressed list, the sheer, light weight plastic material will keep you dry and comfortable all day.

You won’t even mind being in the rain, or snow if it happens.

If you’ve been looking for a reason to come up to Lake Tahoe the annual Winter Wonder Grass Blues and Brews music festival in Squaw Valley this weekend will be a great way to have some fun in Tahoe!

Come out to the Squaw Valley this weekend and enjoy some amazing talent at the Winter Wonder Grass Festival!

Carnelian Bay Home Values | Market Report – Year End 2018

March 11, 2019 By Laura Allen, Broker Associate, Tahoe Real Estate Agent, CA RE 01473598 | 530-414-1260

Carnelian Bay Home Values | Market Report – Year End 2018

Carnelian Bay Home Values | Market Report - Year End 2018 Looking for sold, year-end 2018 single family home market data for the Carnelian Bay area?

Here is the year-end 2018 real estate review for Carnelian Bay, CA 96140.

The Carnelian Bay real estate market conditions continue to be strong, and favor Sellers.

Inventory levels of available homes for sale in Carnelian Bay remain critically low and very limited.

Buyers have only a few buying options, and it doesn’t matter what price point you are looking at, they are all limited.

Here are the current Carnelian Bay homes for sale, all price points:

Need help as a Tahoe Buyer? Call me call Laura Allen, 530.414.1260, for help!

Single family home prices moved down in 2018, which was not how the entire region moved in price, which was up.

Part of the increase in the region was because we had a number of record lakefront sales on both the West Shore of Lake Tahoe, and the North Shore of Lake Tahoe and a number of sales in the Martis Camp neighborhood in Truckee.

Lake Tahoe lakefront homes hit new highs on the North Shore at $22+ million, and on the West Shore the sold prices were even more impressive with a new high of $40 million.

You can see on the graph below that the over-all longer-term market trend for Carnelian Bay home prices has been up, despite the 2018 results.

Carnelian Bay Home Values | Market Report - Year End 2018

Carnelian Bay single family home prices were down in 2018, with a median average sales price of $627,000, which is down from the record high posted in 2017 of $712,500, but it is still near the market highs realized in between 2006 through 2008.

A common question I am often asked by Buyers and Sellers is:

“What percentage of the listed price are Sellers getting on their Tahoe property?”

In 2018, Sellers realized approximately 99.7% of the their average listed median home sales price to the average sold median listed sales price in the greater Carnelian Bay area.

This is higher than the over-all region, which was at 98.9%.

If Sellers have correctly priced their property, they will get close to their asking price.

It also means Tahoe Buyers that are bargain-hunters need to focus on properties that have been on the market for some time, or that their agent feels are over-priced for current market conditions.

Real Estate Market Homes Sold Data for the Carnelian Bay Area:

Year-End 2018: YTD Period: 01-01-2018 to 12-31-2018

Number of Homes Sold: 60
Median Average Sold Sales Price: $627,000
Average Sold Sales Price: $990,210
Sold Price Range (Low-High): $354,000 to $5,386,370
Percent (%) Avg. List Price to Avg. Med. Sold Price Ratio: 99.7%
Average Days on Market (DOM in MLS): 95 DOM
Number of Distressed Sold Homes: Zero (0) listings
- Zero (0) Court Approval
- Zero (0) Short Sales
- Zero (0) REO|Bank Foreclosures

Other interesting Carnelian Bay single family home market observations: Days on Market (DOM) increased slightly from 2017 to 2018.

For 2018 the number of days on the market for single family homes is now at 95 days, up 5 days from the 90 days on market in 2017.

The slight increase in the marketing time for a home, may indicate a shift in the market, or it could just be the market stabilizing from the upward movement.

The fewer days on market, is always better for Sellers helping them realize a higher sold price.

Inventory – Current inventory levels are critically low. Again, another sign of the market favoring Sellers.

Search Carnelian Bay homes for sale by neighborhoods here:

Lower Number of Sales – The reduced number of sales in 2018 may have distorted the over-all price change.

It is always beneficial for Buyers and Sellers to look at the entire North Lake Tahoe – Truckee regional single family home price trend, which was up +7.45% for 2018, with a median average sales price of $721,000 (TSMLS Areas 1-9).

As a result, I recommend looking the the entire North Lake Tahoe – Truckee Region for market trends and take that into consideration when looking at smaller data sets, and area.

Looking for help as a Tahoe Seller? If you already own a home in the Tahoe area and want to know what is your Carnelian Bay property is now worth?

Call me call Laura Allen, 530.414.1260, for a confidential consultation.

Tahoe Home Buyers should do the following:

Look at new listings as soon as possible. Don’t wait.
Be prepared to write an offer the same day as seeing a new listing. Decisions need to be made as soon as possible.
Use a Buyers’ Agent. Work with an experienced local Tahoe Real Estate Agent. They understand the market conditions, and how other agents work and may respond.
Do you have your loan approval letter? If you will need a loan, make sure your lender has approved you.
If you are buying a condo or townhome in the area, make sure you are using a local lender. Using a local lender that has recently processed a loan in the complex you want to buy in will do two things for you.
- First, you will have the confidence that the lender has already reviewed their HOA docs and previously approved the development, which will increase your odds of the same outcome.
- Second, Sellers that know you have selected a lender with this experience will give you extra credit for knowing your lender is ready to go on their property.

If you want more long-term real estate data, check out the following table that has a lot of data going back over ten years.

I have included both the average median sales price and average sales price (in some cases there is a significant difference between the two, but the trends are the same direction for both) are included for each year in the following table.

North Lake Tahoe Restaurants for Valentine’s Day 2019

This coming Thursday, February 14, 2019 is Valentine’s Day. Have you made your dinner reservations yet?

I’ve been calling around trying to figure out where to have dinner this year, and if you are looking for some dining options consider these.

Perhaps you’re a true romantic and want a small restaurant setting, or maybe you want that big Lake Tahoe lake view to wow your better-half, but regardless of what spells out romance for you and your loved one, you’ll have some great options in our area.

Here are some great choices for a nice night out in the greater North Lake Tahoe area for Valentine’s Day that are always a big hit for dinner.

Graham’s – 1650 Squaw Valley Road, Olympic Valley, CA Reservations 530.581.0454 www.dinewine.com

Graham’s offers unique California cuisine with a European influence.

The atmosphere is always inviting and warm with white table linens, candle light, and during the winter you’ll enjoy the warmth and glow of the wood burning fireplaces.

Graham’s menu does vary with the seasons and they always have something special on the menu.

Graham’s is located very close to the Village at Squaw Valley and the Resort at Squaw Creek. Reservations are highly recommended for this local area favorite, especially on the weekends and holidays.

Soule Domain – 9983 Cove Street, Crystal Bay, CA Reservations 530.546.7529 www.SouleDomain.com

Soule Domain offers a variety of California cuisine. This cozy and romantic restaurant is set in a Tahoe log cabin with a rock fireplace. You’ll find the mountain charm of this place inviting and romantic.

Soule Domain is located just past Kings Beach, at the California / Nevada Stateline in Crystal Bay. Seating is very limited and reservations are highly recommended for this romantic local favorite.

Christy Hill – 115 Grove Street, Tahoe City, California Reservations 530.583.8551 www.ChristyHill.com

Christy Hill offers a variety of seasonal California cuisine with a French influence. They have an extensive wine list and a nice selection of wines by the glass.

Dinner here is very romantic. If you get there early enough, you can enjoy the Alpenglow on Lake Tahoe.

If you want to see the Alpenglow (amazing colors of rose gold, violet, fuchsia, and sunset colors) on Valentine’s Day, you need to be an early diner, which means there by 5 p.m. as sunset comes early to our area at this time of year.

If you find yourself reading this post this summer, for any lake view restaurant if you want to see the Alpenglow, try to get there at least 30 minutes before the sun is scheduled to set.

It happens quickly and doesn’t last long, so being early is always better that arriving late if you want to watch the sky and lake turn into amazing colors.

This intimate lakeside restaurant offers wonderful views of Lake Tahoe perfect for a romantic evening.

Christy Hill is located in the heart of downtown Tahoe City, California. Reservations are highly recommended for this popular lake view restaurant.

West Shore Cafe – 5160 West Lake Blvd., Homewood, CA 530-525-5200 West Shore Cafe

The West Shore Cafe is a popular place in both the summer and winter. They offers a variety of seasonal California cuisine.

They have a full bar and a nice wine list – bottle, or glass.

The dining room is open, so it isn’t as intimate as other restaurants, but the views of Lake Tahoe are spectacular.

Again, if you get there by 5 p.m. in the winter, you can enjoy the Alpenglow on Lake Tahoe.

The West Shore Cafe is located across from the Homewood Ski Resort in Homewood, CA. Reservations are highly recommended for this popular lake view restaurant.

The Lone Eagle Grille – 111 Country Club Drive, Incline Village, NV 775-886-6899 Lone Eagle Grill

The Lone Eagle Grille is a popular place and is part of the Hyatt Hotel organization.

This is a fine dining lakefront (lake view) restaurant that has a luxury lodge feel to it.

If you want the experience, but not the full dining experience, they do have a large bar area and you can have a drink or appetizer. Their bar area also has great lake views.

For Valentine’s day they will have a set menu, which you can see on-line.

The Lone Eagle Grill is located across from the Hyatt hotel in Incline, Nevada. Reservations are highly recommended for this popular, high-end, lake view restaurant.

Cottonwood Restaurant & Bar – 10142 Rue Hilltop Road, Truckee, CA Reservations 530.587.5711 Cottonwood Restaurant

The Cottonwood Restaurant has a seasonal menu that is diverse and has fresh and local ingredients. This cozy and romantic restaurant has views of the downtown Truckee area.

For Valentine’s Day they will have a special menu, and you will need reservations for this night.

The Cottonwood Restaurant is located on the hilltop in Truckee, California. Seating is very limited and reservations are highly recommended for this romantic local favorite.

We have a number of great restaurants in the North Lake Tahoe area, some are casual, some are high-end, and others are in-between. Everyone has their favorites, but maybe you’ll want to try something new this year. There are no wrong choices, so make your reservations today.

Have a great night!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
