May 30, 2016 By Laura Allen, Broker Associate, Tahoe Real Estate Agent, CA RE 01473598 | 530-414-1260

Memorial Day 2016 – Tahoe City CA

Memorial Day 2016 – Tahoe City, CA. Today is Memorial Day, May 30, 2016.

As our holiday weekend comes to a close, I can’t help but think about how fortunate I am to live in a country where anything is possible.

It is also a day to remember the cost at which that freedom is protected.

Today is the day to remember those that have served to protect us and way of life.

While Memorial Day comes but once a year, the truth is, every day should be Memorial Day. We should take every opportunity to remember, honor, and respect all those that have served and have given their lives to protect us.

It is also a day to say “Thank You” to all those that are currently serving. It starts at your front door. Those that respond to your 911 call, and put their lives and health in harm’s way to help and protect you.

Our armed forces and local law enforcement services show up every day and by doing so protect our freedom, and ability to work, live, and play in a country that has almost no restrictions on us.

I love living in Tahoe City and I love living in America. Monday, May 30, 2016 is a day to count your blessings and to remember those that have made this life possible for us.

I want to say “Thank You” to all those that have served, are serving, or plan to serve.

To the men and women who serve and protect our local communities, our states, and our country, I say “Thank You” for keeping us safe. “Thank You” for being there . “Thank You” for your sacrifice and service.

To those families that have lost a loved one. Your family has paid the ultimate price for the freedom and safety we all enjoy. While we have never met, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

So on this Memorial Day, take one last moment and remember those that are no longer with us. Say “Thank You” to those that serve to protect us, and be thankful for the job they do each and every day.

Memorial Day 2016 – Respect, Honor, Remember – Thank You!

Amgen Tour of California Women’s Race – Stage 1 Lake Tahoe May 2016

May 18, 2016 By Laura Allen, Broker Associate, Tahoe Real Estate Agent, CA RE 01473598 | 530-414-1260

Amgen Tour of California Women’s Race – Stage 1 Lake Tahoe May 2016

Calling all bike riding fans the Amgen Tour of California Women’s Race – Stage 1 Lake Tahoe May 2016 will happen on Thursday, May 19, 2016.

I was lucky enough to watch the first Stage of the Amgen Tour of California Women’s Race on the West Shore of Tahoe City here in Lake Tahoe last year and it was amazing!

I was just down the road from the 50km mark in the Tahoe Park neighborhood which is known for having the Sunnyside Resort, FireSign Café and the new West Shore Market businesses.

These are world-class athletes, and watching them ride by was more than just impressive, it was inspiring.

I can see why the crowds turn out for the Tour de France event each year and line the streets for just a peek at the cyclists as they zoom past you, because they really do zoom past you. You just can’t imagine just how fast these women were moving today until you are standing there and watch them race by.

Here’s a video of Stage I of the Amgen Tour of California Women’s Race on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe from last year which was taken about 2.5 mile south of Downtown Tahoe City just about at the half-way mark of this first leg in their four stage race.

Check it out!

If you love to bike, and want to see women who are at their peak, then be here in Lake Tahoe tomorrow, where you’ll get a chance to see Stage 1 of the Women’s race of the Amgen Tour of California

This year there are eighteen (18) women teams, and each has their own unique racing jacket/shirt. To learn more about each team and the Amgen Tour of California Women’s Race – Stage 1 Lake Tahoe May 2016 check out their website.

The Amgen Tour of California Women’s Race will begin tomorrow starting at Heavenly in South Lake Tahoe. The race route will cover seventy-four (74) miles racing around the perimeter of Lake Tahoe riding in both California and in Nevada and they will end up where they started, back at the base of the Heavenly ski resort in South Lake Tahoe.

The race route for Stage 1 is as follows:

All race times are approximate, so be early so you don’t miss out see any of the women race by!

Hopefully the Amgen race will remind everyone what a great place Lake Tahoe is to ride your bike, whether you are a professional like these Amgen women racers, or an amateur like myself who just enjoys being out on our local paved bike paths!

The Chambers Landing area has been around since the late 1800’s as a popular summer resort area for Northern California and Northern Nevada.

Just as in the 1800’s, today, the demand for cabins and mountain homes in the Chambers Landing area, known as the Chamberlands subdivision continue to be strong because of the wonderful private and public beach Lake Tahoe beach areas that are near by, along with access to great hiking, biking trails in the neighborhood on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe.

The Chamberlands (often referred to as the Chambers Landing Area – which is the name of the high-end luxury condos – single family homes are in the subdivisions names Chamberlands, or Chamberlands Addition) neighborhood is part of the Homewood community, which is centrally located on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe between Tahoe City and Tahoma.

The Chamberlands (Chambers Landing Area) neighborhood has nice wide streets and is easy to get to on a year-around basis. The Chamberlands (Chambers Landing Area) neighborhood is close to Lake Tahoe, but is also very close to the Homewood Ski Resort and the commercial core of Homewood making this a sought after neighborhood for Tahoe home owners!

The Chamberland (Chambers Landing Area) neighborhood also has two (2) optional home owners recreational associations (club).

The first home owners association (optional), is the Chamberland Beach and Mountain Club, which provides members with access to the private beach area, along with use of the Chambers Landing seasonal shuttle bus to the beach and annual snow removal for your property driveway, just to name a few member benefits.

The second membership that is available can only be joined if the home owner already has the Chamberland Beach and Mountain Club. This second recreational membership is it commonly referred to as the “Full Chambers Landing Membership” and is officially known as the “Chambers Landing Recreational Association” membership. This second membership gives home owners access to the lakeside pool and tennis courts.

When it comes time to sell some homes in the Chamberlands subdivision don’t have either membership, but anyone can always join the Chamberland Beach and Mountain Club with a buy-in of approximately $2,000 if your property is located in either the Chamberlands, or Chamberlands Addition(s). Some agents may refer to this as a transfer fee, but all new property owners must pay this initial fee to joint the Beach and Mountain Club.

Some homes in the Chamberlands subdivision will also offer the “Full Chambers Landing Membership” which means that property comes with both memberships.

If a property does not come with the “Full Membership” a property owner in the Chamberlands subdivision(s) can still get a full membership as long as they have already a member of the Chamberland Beach and Mountain Club, and there are still new membership available for sale (as of this post, new memberships were still available – home owners that want a membership always need to check on availability). Once they are in good standing with the Mountain and Beach Club they can buy a “Full Chambers Landing Pool and Tennis Membership”.

In 2016 the cost for the “Full Chambers Landing Pool and Tennis Club membership” was approximately $50,000+, so those properties that transfer both memberships, will find they have an immediate value-added feature of around $50k that come with the property. There is a market demand for homes with the full Chambers Landing HOA membership. Having the membership will influence selling marketing times, and property value.

If you like to boat, hike, bike, golf, skiing, shop, or just hang out at the beach this is an area for you to check out. The Chamberlands (Chambers Landing Area) neighborhood has all of the West Lake Tahoe recreational activities that our full-time and second home owners are looking.

If you are thinking of selling, as a Chamberland Seller did you know that more than 92%+ of home buyers will begin their property search on the internet? Now, more than ever your mountain home needs to have the best on-line exposure, presentation, and coverage possible.

On-line marketing is so much more than just entering your property data and a few photos in the Tahoe Sierra Multiple Listing Service (TSMLS).

Internet marketing is far more advanced today. As a Seller if your agent is still hoping to get potential buyers to call about your home, with a limited internet profile, and poor photographs, you may be very disappointed with the results.

Serious second home buyers view an on-line listing with limited and/or incomplete information with poor, or no photos, as a being a big negative.

Second home owners don’t have the luxury of being able to drive by your property after work and finding out “this home looks so much better in person”. A poor on-line presentation puts your property at a marketing disadvantage. Remember in our second home market we are selling our local Tahoe lifestyle, so use it to your advantage.

Tahoe Seller Tip – Provide as much information and property details as you can on your property. The more information, the better!

Tahoe Seller Tip – On-line Curb Appeal! Pick the best photo as your first photo that will get buyers to click on your home listing to get more information.

It is critical that your first photo have that “eye candy” on-line curb appeal and that it sends the right message about your property, so make it count!

Each on-line viewing is your first showing! Every time your home is viewed on-line that Tahoe buyer is making that critical first impression decision on whether or not to have your Tahoe home on their short list of properties to see when they come to Lake Tahoe.

Unlike other markets, this second home market often has buyers here for only a few hours to see properties and most of already decided what home to see before they ever get here. Your on-line presence will impact a buyers “must-see” showing list, which means you need a great internet profile and presentation of your property.

Tahoe Seller Tip – Only use the best photographs to market your Tahoe Property!

To achieve the broadest world-wide Internet marketing exposure and presence, your Chamberlands property needs a combination of a fully completed TSMLS property profile, social media campaign, blogging, and video exposure.

Experienced real estate agents that understand a strong on-line marketing plan when combined with other key traditional home marketing strategies can really make a difference in getting the word out about your Chamberlands home for sale.

This is not an instant home value, or the popular $-estimate that other sites offer. Why?

The right data and information on your Tahoe Donner property is critical to an accurate market value estimate. We know that each Tahoe Donner property is unique and that they were built as a custom home, cabin, or condo. It’s important that your mountain property gets all of the credit and value it deserves for all of those special features before we place a value on it.

What are second home buyers looking for in a Tahoe Donner home? What are those property features that will cause a property to sell quickly?

Excellent maintenance – Well cared for properties inside and out
Upgraded custom features found in newer construction homes
Homes that are ready to use on day one – turn-key ready
Mountain Charm, Clean, and Uncluttered – professional decorated is a plus
Easy to show at all times – no special appointment needed
On REALTOR® Electronic Lock Box — making a property easy for a buyers’ agent to show and not requiring the listing agents to be present to show the property is a big plus.
Correct Pricing in the Fair Market Value range according to the current market conditions

What “must have” features are Tahoe Second Home Buyers hoping to find?

Kitchen – High-end appliances, solid, or granite counter tops, the extras that turn the kitchen into a gourmet chef’s dream kitchen and entertainment center

Hardwood floors in the main living areas
Bathrooms – High end finishing touches, solid surfaces, stone, custom tile
Bunk Bed Room
Bonus Family Room Areas
Outdoor living space – decks and patios
Energy Efficiency – windows, smart home technology, well maintained mechanics, green features
Recent Pest Report – Clear Section I and Section II (Even new/newer construction homes should have an inspection to provide to potential buyers)

Fireplace – Gas Log, or Wood Burning in the living room
Tahoe Donner Defensible Space Inspection and Current Letter of Compliance
Tahoe Donner Home Owner Inspection and Current Letter of Compliance

Tahoe Seller Tip – Provide as much information and property details as you can on your property. The more information, the better!
Each on-line viewing is your first showing! Every time your home is viewed on-line, that Tahoe buyer is making that critical first impression decision on whether or not to have your Tahoe Donner home on their short list of properties to see when they come to North Lake Tahoe.

Unlike other markets, this second home market often only has a buyer here for just a few hours to see properties and you’re on the list or you’re not!

Your on-line presence will impact a buyers “must-see” showing list, which means you need a great internet profile and presentation of your property.

To achieve the broadest world-wide Internet marketing exposure and presence, your Tahoe Donner property you’ll need a combination of a fully completed TSMLS property profile, social media campaign, blogging, and video exposure.

Even in this highly sought after gated golf course community, Tahoe Donner sellers still are competing to get the attention of a limited number of buyers, who are considering not only Tahoe Donner, but near-by golf course communities too, so if you want a timely sale, you’ll need to have a full marketing plan and program.
