Northstar, CA 96161 Current Real Estate Market Trends November 2013

Here are some current real estate market trends and data for the Tahoe ski resort community of Northstar in Truckee, California 96161 area for November 2013. This is my local view of how the Northstar community is really doing in the housing market.

The Northstar area is a popular second home luxury ski resort community in the North Lake Tahoe area offering great recreational amenities and close proximity to the Village at Northstar.

The Northstar area has recreational amenities such as a seasonal pool and spa area, tennis courts, 18 hole golf course, mountain biking (summer) and what the area is really known for their downhill ski resort.

The Northstar community offers a good selection of high-end luxury mountain homes, along with some smaller Tahoe homes, cabins, and a good assortment of condo options.

Over 38% of all sales in the luxury Northstar home market were above $1,000,000, which is a good signal that the Northstar and Truckee luxury markets are on the upswing.

The Northstar community, along with entire Truckee – Lake Tahoe area real estate market has improved.

Northstar sellers who have been waiting for better market conditions may find that now is a good time to sell. Northstar sellers can take advantage of the lower home inventories in the area, along with lower interest rates, and continued buyer demand for the Northstar area!

Tahoe Donner, CA 96161 Current Real Estate Market Trends November 2013

Here are some current real estate market trends and data for the Tahoe Donner, Truckee, California 96161 area for November 2013.

This is my local view of how the Tahoe Donner community is really doing in the housing market.

The Tahoe Donner area is a popular second home resort community and is one of the largest planned unit developments in the United States with over 6,000 lots and over 60 miles of private roads.

The Tahoe Donner area has recreational amenities such as two pools, one of which is a year-around pool, tennis courts, 18 hole golf course, equestrian facilities, cross country ski areas and a downhill ski resort.

The Tahoe Donner community offers a good selection of high-end luxury homes, along with smaller Tahoe mountain homes, cabins, and a mix of condo options.

As of 11-17-2013 there was one home listed for sale in the Tahoe Donner area under $300,000. There were no short sales, REO Bank Foreclosures, or Court Approval Listings. While this will change on a daily basis, it is a clear indicator that the number of distressed sellers has gone away, and the low-end of the market is rising.

Over 60% of all sales in the Tahoe Donner community were above $500,000, and 28% of the total sales were over $700,000, which are good signs that the Tahoe Donner luxury market is becoming stronger.

The Tahoe Donner community, along with entire Truckee – Lake Tahoe area real estate market has improved, but there are still opportunities for the buyer that is ready to buy today!
