Easter Egg Hunt Tahoe City Saturday April 20 2019

Easter Egg Hunt Tahoe City Saturday April 20 2019It’s Easter weekend here in the North Lake Tahoe area!

We are finally seeing signs of Spring after a very snowy winter, and one of those signs in the annual Easter Egg hunt here in Tahoe City.  

Don’t miss out on the annual Easter Egg Hunt Tahoe City this Saturday, April 20, 2019 at the Tahoe City Golf Course|Winter Park in downtown Tahoe City behind the Bank of America Building!

As we make the transition towards summer here in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area the traditional Easter Egg Hunt is always a welcome event!

Depending on the neighborhood, some of the bike paths are also already clear!  

The downtown area and the path on the North Shore was cleared through-out the winter, but now the West Shore down as far as Timberland  has also been cleared of snow. 

The paved path in Squaw Valley is also clear, and from the Bus Transit Center along the Truckee River has also been plowed out.

Our evenings are still cold in the 30’s, but our day time temperatures have been climbing into the high 60’s.

On Saturday, April 20, 2019 it may be a little cooler with a chance of showers.

Easter Egg Hunt Tahoe City Saturday April 20 2019

At the time of the  Easter Egg Hunt will be in the mid-high 40’s. 

Hopefully the weather will hold and make for a good day to be outside.

For those that will be headed to the Tahoe City Easter Egg Hunt, you’ll want to dress in layers for the 10 a.m. Easter Egg Hunt starting time here in Tahoe City, California!

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 2018Looking 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.

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.

Spring Forward – Time Change | Sunday March 10 2019

March 9, 2019 By Laura Allen, Broker Associate, Tahoe Real Estate Agent, CA RE 01473598 | 530-414-1260

Spring Forward – Time Change | Sunday March 10 2019

Spring Forward - Time Change | Sunday March 10 2019It’s that time of year to Spring Forward and move your clocks ahead one hour if you live in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area!

I’ll admit, this is one of my favorite days of the year.

I long for the longer days of sunshine, and  I am happy to see the short dark winter days disappear here in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area!

It’s been a long winter with a lot of snow.  This photo was taken on Thursday, March 7, 2019.

You can see how much snow is around this pool that is only open during the summer.

We have a lot of snow to melt out before we get to our summer season!

So you can see why I’d be excited to have longer days with more sunshine.

On Sunday, March 10, 2019 we will all need to move our clocks forward one hour (yes, an extra hour of daylight at the end of our days, and one less hour of sleep) as we start daylight savings time here in our area.

Yes, there are states that do not have the time change twice a year, but we are one of those states that does have it.

Since the shortest day of the year last December 21, 2018, we’ve added about 81 minutes of daylight, or approximately 1.35 hour of sunshine to each day.

If you want to do the math this means that in the Tahoe City area on the shortest day of the year in December 2018, sunset was at 4:40 p.m.

Before the time changes, on Saturday, March 9, 2019 sunset will be at 6:01 p.m. or a gain of 81 minutes!

Once we spring forward on Sunday, March 10, 2019, sunset will be an hour later at 7:02 p.m.!

So before you go to bed on Saturday, March 10, 2018, you’ll need to remember to set your clocks ahead one hour!

Since we have the twice a year clock change, here is my list of things additional tasks to do on Spring Forward day:

  • Change clocks in our home, office,kitchen (microwave and oven) and cars (move forward one hour).  Yes, we still have some manual clocks that do not reset on their own.
  • Check smoke alarms (new ones have the battery good for 10 years) just to make sure they are all working and replace those that are older.
  • Check all carbon monoxide alarms/detectors just to make sure they are still working.
  • Fire extinguishers (check to make sure they haven’t been moved and/or damaged).  This is also a good time to buy and add another one and put it in a room that doesn’t already have one. If you add one each time we have the time change, the additional expense is easier on your budget.
  • Any security device or item that uses a battery and is wireless (security cameras, video door bells, exterior/interior lights) that need to be changed every 6 months to a year.
  • All Flashlights (working, extra batteries), candles, matches, lighters, short-term lighting devices. We just purchased more triple AAA and double AA batteries at Costco, so if you haven’t checked your battery drawer, this is a good time to make sure you are well stocked.
  • Back-up charger device for cell phones/lap tops (if they have a solar option for re-charging that’s always a bonus).  I can also check this one-off my list.  The recent power outages had me re-charging these two items a couple weeks ago.
  • Canned goods/emergency food supplies (we’ve been pretty good about rotating our inventory, but it’s time to check on the bottled water and to make sure we are still well stocked)
  • Still on my to-do list:
    • Get a battery operated radio
    • Get a small TV that can be powered by connecting to just a USB port device
    • Get the TV antenna device that will work with a digital TV that can get us the free national channels, just in case the cable goes down.

For those not as familiar with the Lake Tahoe –  Tahoe City  – Truckee areas some of our important utility lines (electric, cable, phone) are located above ground, and several times a year the power will go out for all different types of reasons, so we’re becoming better prepared.

Take advantage of this timely reminder to not only change your clocks, but to do some routine safety checks, along with being proactive on your emergency home preparation, for that just in case moment!

Upcoming future dates to keep in mind (number of days are from March 10, 2019):

  • Next time Change:  Sunday, November 3, 2019 | 238 days (Fall Back and Gain One Hour)
  • Longest Day of the Year:  Friday, June 21, 2019 Summer Solstice | 104 days
  • 4th of July  | 117 days
  • Shortest Day of the Year 2019 – Friday, December 21, 2019 | 287 days – Winter Solstice

While we still have several weeks  of winter ahead of us, Spring and Summer will be here before you know it.

Now is the time to make the most of 2019.  If you haven’t made your plans to be here in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area, now is the time to look at your calendar and figure out when you can be here!

If you live in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Tahoe City area, it’s time to move your clocks forward this Sunday, March 10, 2019!
