Winter is Coming – North Lake Tahoe!

Winter is Coming – North Lake Tahoe!We all know that the seasons have changed from hot summer to cool fall days, but today was a clear sign that winter is coming to the North Lake Tahoe area!

This photograph was taken around 3 p.m. today in Tahoe City on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe near the Ward Creek area.  It’s not a lot of snow, but since we were expecting heavy rain today, it was a surprise to see how quickly the trees were being coated with snow.

While this snow won’t last, the temperatures are dropping, and with the heavy rain storms that we’ve had over the past few weeks, this super slushy snow today, is a good sign that our local ski resorts will soon be open for an amazing 2016-2017 winter season!

If you haven’t done your Tahoe home winter prep, you still have time, but the clock is ticking.  Today I order a new deck table and chair cover as the old one was just too far gone to last another winter.  Take a look around and make sure you’re ready for a heavy snowfall season too!

If you missed my 15 Winter Preparation Tips for Tahoe Home Owners blog from a few weeks ago, click on that link and you can read them all.

Next Sunday, November 6, 2016 is Daylight Saving time, which means it’s time to set your clocks back an hour, check your safety supplies and devices like smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, along with flashlights, candles, matches/lighters, batteries, and anything else that keeps you safe during our colder weather.

Other reminders that the clocking is ticking, as of the date of this post October 30, 2016, we only have 61 days left in 2016, which means the holidays and the start to another new year is right around the corner!

If you’ll be back up to the greater Tahoe City, or Truckee area this next weekend to close up your Tahoe home, or condo don’t forget the 34th Annual Truckee Ski & Snow Board Swap this Saturday, November 5, 2016 at the new Truckee Community Recreation Center in Truckee, CA.

If you’re still thinking about buying a home or condo in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area, it’s not too late to make that happen.  The same goes if you’re thinking of selling.  We have clients buy and sell all year long, so don’t let the snow scare you off!  Call me and I can help you!

What is your Dollar Hill II Condo Worth in Tahoe City?

What is your Dollar Hill II Condo WorthWhat is your Dollar Hill II Condo worth in Tahoe City is a question both sellers and buyers may be asking.  This is a real estate market activity report for the Dollar Hill II Condo for sale – as of September 2016.

The Dollar Hill II Condo development is located on the Tahoe City – North Shore, CA area  and is a mountain-side condominium development.  The Dollar Hill complex is located at 3115 North Lake Blvd., Tahoe City, CA 96145. 

Condos currently for sale in Dollar Hill II:

The Dollar Hill II Condo development is located approximately 2.75 miles east of the “Y” (stop light) in downtown Tahoe City on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe.

The Dollar Hill II Condo complex was built in the early 1970’s .  It is a mountain-side medium sized condominium development with approximately ninety-four +/- 94 units. 

What is your Dollar Hill II Condo WorthIf you’re looking for a condo development that is affordable, the Dollar Hill II development offers some of the best opportunities for home ownership in the North Lake Tahoe area. 

There are one (1) bedroom (includes an open loft area), two (2) bedrooms (one bedroom may be the open loft area), three (3) bedroom (may include and open loft area), and four bedroom (may include an open loft area) floor plans in the complex.  All of the units are multiple levels, and almost all of the units share a wall (townhouse style), but there are two stand-alone detached units.

You’ll find the living room and kitchen area located on the main level with vaulted ceilings, and you’ll find with the larger units that there are multiple levels (more than two levels).   

Most of the units have a forest setting but there are some units that do have some peek views of Lake Tahoe, along with a few pool view units.

The approximate square footage is as follows

What is your Dollar Hill II Condo WorthThe mountain-side development has a seasonal pool, and tennis court.

Finding condos for sale in the Tahoe City area will be easier than in other communities with over 1,200+ condo units being built in the area.   

If you are looking for mountain-side living in a complex that is near the shores of Lake Tahoe, you’ll have several options including Dollar Hill II, Lake Forest Glen, The Villas, Dollar Hill I, and Rocky Ridge (hybrid mountain-side and lakefront amenity access).

What is your The Northshore Condo Worth | 2016

What is your The Northshore Condo WorthIf you’re thinking about selling your The Northshore Condo, you’re probably asking what is your The Northshore Condo worth?  This is a real estate market activity report for The Northshore Condo for sale – as of September 2016.

The Northshore Condo development is just outside of the downtown Tahoe City – North Shore, CA area.

The Northshore Condo development is located about three (3) miles south-east of the “Y” (stop light) in downtown Tahoe City on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe, just west of the Dollar Point home subdivision.  You’ll find The Northshore Condos at 100 Lassen Drive and 125 Lassen Drive, Tahoe City, CA 96145.

See current Northshore condo development condos for sale here:

The Northshore Condo complex was built in the late 1970’s.  It is a medium sized lakefront condominium development with approximately fifty-two (+/- 52) units.  What I enjoy about The Northshore development is the nice sandy beach area and having the entire complex located off and away of Highway 28.

What is your The Northshore Condo WorthThere are three (3) bedroom and four (4) bedroom floor plans.  Most of the units are two stories/levels with a shared wall between the units.  Depending on the unit floor plans the living room and kitchen areas are located on the lower and middle levels.

The Northshore development is located on over twenty-six (26) acres and has nine (9) lakefront units.

A number of the units have some type of view of Lake Tahoe ranging from panoramic to just a peek.

What is your The Northshore Condo WorthThe entire complex is a lakefront development with access to a sandy beach area, beach/Club House, pier, seasonal pool, and three (3) tennis courts.

The Northshore Condo Buyers will find that at any one given time, the selection may be very limited, and you may have to wait if you are looking for a specific unit combination, or location within the development as the selection of condos for sale in The Northshore is typically very limited.

Historically, turn-over in The Northshore development has been very low, with a less than 5% annual turn-over rate for sales reported in the public MLS (Multiple Listing Service).

Finding condos for sale in the Tahoe City area will be easier than in other communities with over 1,200+ condo units being built in the area.

What is your The Northshore Condo WorthIf you are looking for just a lakefront condo for sale in the greater Tahoe City area, again, this community will offer a Lake Tahoe Condo Buyer the largest selection with over 386+ condos that were built and located in just lakefront condo developments.

Tahoe City Condo Buyers will have eight (8) different lakefront condo developments (not including Rocky Ridge, which has access to lakefront amenities and is considered to be a hybrid mountain-side living for the condos but access to a private lakefront area) to consider including the The Northshore,  St Francis, Chinquapin, The Northshore, Star Harbor, Tahoe Marina, Tavern Shores, Tahoe Tavern, and Cedar Point.

Expanding your Tahoe City Condo search to all Tahoe City – North Shore Condo Developments, you’ll have eleven (11) condo developments to consider including non-lakefront, mountain-side developments.

Condo buyers that expand their condo property search to the entire West Shore of Lake Tahoe, or North Shore of Lake Tahoe will have the greatest selection of condos and development settings, price points and options to select from.
