North Lake Tahoe – Truckee Condo Values | Market Report – 2017

By

North Lake Tahoe – Truckee Condo Values | Market Report – 2017

Wondering what has happened to condo \ townhouse values in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area for 2017?  Is the time right to buy, or sell a condominium or townhome in North Lake Tahoe – Truckee, California area?

The North Lake Tahoe – Truckee real estate market conditions continue to improve. 

Inventory levels are the lowest in more than a decade, and prices have moved up again, a benefit for sellers, a negative for buyers hoping for a small market price correction.

Tahoe area condo Buyers have had fewer choices, and for those looking for a condo for sale in North Lake Tahoe, or Truckee area under $400,000 will find their options are very limited these days.

As an example of how limited the selection of lower-priced condos\townhouses are as of 02-18-2018 there were only six (6) condos for sale in the greater North Lake Tahoe area (North Shore, West Shore, Greater Tahoe City area) under $500,000 and one of those listings had an occupancy restriction.

 

Things are not better in the greater Truckee area (includes the Donner Summit, Soda Springs area), there were only thirteen (13) condos/townhouses for sale under $500,000 in this area, leaving lower-priced buyers with very few buying options.

 

In the ski resort areas like Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley there are a few more options, but not many.

You can see that the over-all North Lake Tahoe – Truckee condo/townhome price trend is moving up, which means lower priced units are becoming harder to find.

North Lake Tahoe - Truckee Condo Values | Market Report - 2017

North Lake Tahoe – Truckee regional condo/townhome prices are up +12.7% for 2017 when compared to 2016, with a median average sales price of $422,500.

Historically, our available condo/townhome for sale inventory levels are at their lowest during our winter months (first 3-4 months of the calendar year), then levels begin to rise as new inventory comes on the market in anticipation of the spring/summer selling season.

The exception to this is an increase in the inventory levels around the ski resorts, where this type of property shines during the winter season. 

For the entire area we continue to have extremely low condo/townhouse inventory levels that will continue to keep prices up.

At the lower price points North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area home Buyers are often facing multiple offer situations on properties that are priced correctly for their location, features, and condition.

The listed price to sold price average for the median average sales price in North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area for 2017 year was 97.9 %.

Unlike the single family home market at 99.7%, there is some wiggle room on condos/townhomes in our market, but it is still a very strong sellers market. 

The lack of inventory and limited selection in so many condo developments will continue to put pricing pressure on buyers. 

Buyers need to be prepared to move quickly and they need to be prepared to make a decision right away.  Buyers also need to be prepared to make an offer at, or above listed price for newly listed properties.

The days on market (DOM) has also dropped approximately -13.7%, from 117 DOM in 2016 to 101 DOM for 2017.

North Lake Tahoe Best Spring Skiing of the Season | March 17 2018

North Lake Tahoe Best Spring Skiing of the Season | March 17 2018

North Lake Tahoe Best Spring Skiing of the Season | March 17 2018Today might be St. Patrick’s Day and everyone is wearing green, in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area, we’re surrounded by beautiful white snow! 

March is turning out to be a huge snow storm month and creating our best spring skiing conditions of the entire season. 

In the past four days the Homewood Ski Resort on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe in Homewood, California has received 58″ at the base – lake level (that’s almost five feet of new snow). 

I live just a few miles north of the resort, and it’s true, we’ve received a lot of snow with the recent storm, but also with the winter storm two weeks ago.

If you’ve been hoping for walk-ways that are lined with high, tunnel-like snow walls, this is your chance to have that experience. 

As with all unique experiences (melting snow), we’re moving into our Spring season, (higher day-time temperatures), which means these conditions won’t last long.

There has never been a better time to come up to the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area and enjoy our winter sports venues and activities.

Our local ski resorts, cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, sledding/tubing, or just making a snow-person in your back-yard this is the time to do it!

It’s hard to imagine how we get this type of snowfall, and what it is like to wake up each and every morning for 3 or 4 days and finding 1, 2, even 3 feet of new snow. Each day the snow just continues to compress with the weight of the new snow on top of it, which makes the rising snow height even that more impressive!

Want to see how much snow we receive?  Here is progression on how much snow we’ve received:

Sunday, March 11, 2018:

Chairs before snow storms march 11, 2018

Wednesday, March 14, 2018 after the this new series of snow storms began:

First Day after new snow storms began

Friday, March 16, 2018 early morning – chairs would be covered by the end of the day:

Friday, March 16 morning

Saturday, March 17, 2018 noon – chairs are completely buried in snow.  Dig down about a foot and you’ll find the tops of the chairs.  This snow won’t last as our spring temperatures will have a quicker melt-out than in January with frigid temperatures.

Saturday, March 17, 2018 around 12 noonPerhaps I’ll photograph the melt out as we move into April and you can see the chairs reappear!

We probably won’t receive enough snow to bring us up to normal for California snow-pack and water-shed numbers, but this last two storms are going to help raise those numbers!

Our winter fun is far from over.  March is typically one of our largest snow months, and our spring skiing and winter sports are really at their best at this time of year.

If you want to make the North Lake Tahoe your second home destination so you can take advantage of our year-around sports including our world-class skiing, and you don’t want to deal with snow removal, digging out your car, or any of the other details that comes with condo ownership here in our area consider the Resort at Squaw Creek.

Owning a condo-hotel is the perfect combination of hotel services and on-site support with home ownership.  Use your unit exclusively, or take advantage of the on-site vacation rental company and enjoy the best of both worlds – owner use and generating income when you aren’t using your luxury unit.

The Resort at Squaw Creek offers a concierge-style luxury resort experience with valet service, downhill ski-in and ski-out facilities, cross-country skiing, ice skating  along with access to a year-around out-door heated swimming pool, in-ground spa/hot tubs, and in the summer an 18 hole golf course, tennis courts, and shuttle service to the Village at Squaw Valley (no parking frustrations here) making the Resort at Squaw Creek a top choice for luxury Tahoe condo buyers.

North Lake Tahoe Best Spring Skiing of the Season | March 17 2018The Resort offers a Tahoe experience for their owners that focuses on ease of ownership.  As a benefit of being located in a condo-hotel setting you’ll have access to restaurants, bars, shops, professional day spa, and the option for room service (a favorite option of mine that very few developments offer). 

Many Tahoe Buyer over-look the Resort at Squaw Creek because of the higher HOA fees.  Do not let the monthly HOA fees scare you off! 

In order to make a fair and complete analysis you must a full comparison from one complex to the next by adding in the cost of all utilities (most condo developments are not all inclusive), and the value for a year-around heated outdoor pool and the additional on-site support and service owners have available to them.

The Resort HOA fees include gas, electric (heating and air conditioning), Internet, Cable, water, sewer, garbage, the list goes on and on, so do not assume the fee is high, or out-of-line for our area for similar types of properties.

The monthly HOA fee, when compared to other developments offers a great value for condo/home owners that want to enjoy their second home in a carefree way that other development options do not offer.

Luxury condo buyers need to take into account the value of staff and support, not to mention the luxury vacation resort experience – getting away from the every day stresses and fully enjoying the Squaw Valley and North Lake Tahoe recreational experience.

North Lake Tahoe – Truckee Home Values | Market Report – Year-End 2017

Wondering what has happened to home values in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee?  Is the time right to buy, or sell a home in North Lake Tahoe – Truckee, California area?

North Lake Tahoe - Truckee Home Values | Market Report - 2017

The North Lake Tahoe – Truckee real estate market conditions continue to change. 

Inventory levels are the lowest in more than a decade, and prices have moved up again, making sellers even more aggressive on their pricing strategies.

You can see that the over-all North Lake Tahoe – Truckee home price trend is moving up, which means lower priced homes and cabins are also moving up in price.

North Lake Tahoe - Truckee Home Values | Market Report - Year End 2017

North Lake Tahoe – Truckee regional single family home prices are up +8% for 2017 when compared to 2016, with a median average sales price of $648,500.

 

North Lake Tahoe - Truckee Home Values | Market Report - 2017Additional confirmation on the strength of the local market can be seen in the average median home sales price as percent of sold price versus listed price.  

The listed price to sold price average for the median average sales price in North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area for 2017 year was 99.7 %.

At almost 100%, this means Tahoe buyers that want to low-ball, or really negotiate on price are going to have a hard time in this market environment as the demand is creating a strong Sellers market. 

The current market trend of buyers paying almost the full listed price for properties will be hard for anyone who can’t pay full price. 

Buyers need to be prepared to move quickly and they need to be prepared to make a decision right away.  Buyers also need to be prepared to make an offer at, or above listed price for newly listed properties.

The days on market (DOM) has also dropped approximately -12.5%, from 96 DOM in 2016 to 84 DOM for 2017.

Fresh Powder Snow in Tahoe City | Feb 22 2018

Fresh Powder Snow in Tahoe City | Feb 22 2018

Fresh Powder Snow in Tahoe City | Feb 22 2018Last year we received so much snow that by mid-February reporting new, fresh, powder snow in Tahoe City was old news. 

You may not remember that by mid-January 2017 we had received about 70% of our annual snow fall, about 280 inches (average annual snowfall is around 400 inches), in just a couple of weeks – a lot of snow in a very short period of time. 

By the time our 2017 winter season was over, we had received over 700 inches of snow – an epic winter for so many reasons.

Fast forward to today, February 22, 2018, and with only a few smaller snow storms so far this year, it has made this winter very mild in comparison, and each new snow storms big news!

It’s exciting to let everyone know that we have received between four (4) to six (6) inches of new snow at the lake level on the West Shore of Tahoe City today, which means our mountain resorts are also getting more snow today! 

It is not only welcome news for our skiers and related winter sports; it is also good news for anyone watching our California snow-pack and water-shed numbers!

Our winter fun is far from over.  February and March are often our best months for our winter sports.

Don’t forget the 37th Annual Snowfest! 2018 is set to begin March 1, 2018 and will run through March 11, 2018.  The timing of these recent snow storms over the past two weeks will set the stage for ten days of winter fun in March!

I will have a blog post out next week that will have the complete Snowfest! 2018 calendar and list of events, but here are some of my favorite events:

  • Tahoe City Fireworks – Friday, March 2, 2018 at 7:45 p.m. at Commons Beach in downtown Tahoe City
  • Snowfest Parade – Saturday, March 3, 2018 at 11:30 a.m. downtown Tahoe City
  • Gar Woods 30th Annual Polar Bear Swim – Saturday, March 3, 2018 at Gar Woods in Carnelian Bay
  • Fireworks at Squaw Valley – Not part of the official Snowfest calendar, but if you’ll be up here, they are having a fireworks show every Saturday this winter season.  In March they will start at 7 p.m. (check their calendar to confirm time) at the Village at Squaw Valley
  • Wine ‘n Ice – 8th Annual Ice Carving Competition at the Truckee River Winery Wednesday, March 7, 2018 – Truckee
  • Bridge Tenders 10th Annual Ribfest – Friday, March 9, 2018 starting at 5 p.m.
  • Kings Beach Parade – Saturday, March 10, 2018 at 11:30 a.m. downtown Kings Beach
  • River Run’s Snow Sculpture – Sunday, March 11, 2018 starting at 12 noon, junction of Hwy 89S and turn-off to Alpine Meadows

Today’s new snow is just a reminder that our winter season is far from over and Snowfest! is right around the corner.   

If you haven’t been up to the greater Tahoe City – Truckee area to enjoy some of our winter fun, now is the time to plan a trip.
