Days on Market:  The median average days on market was 134 DOM.

Cash Sale Transactions: The number of cash sale transactions for the Alpine Meadows area dropped to 0%, which is well below the Tahoe- Truckee Regional average of 27%.  Given that we are comparing only 2 sales to the 19 sales from 2012, it’s hard to come to any firm trend conclusions.

Distress Sales:  Distressed sellers (bank foreclosures- real estate owned (REO’s) and short sales) in the Alpine Meadows area have increased to 50% of all homes sold in 2013.  Again, with only 2 homes sold in 2013, it’s hard to confirm any real trend direction.

Active Homes for Sale: There were 6 Active– available homes for sale in the Alpine Meadows area as of 06/17/2013. Alpine Meadows homes ranged in price from $425,000 to $1.175 million, with an average median asking sales price of $695,000.

Of the 6 homes offered for sale, none (Zero – 0) are short sales, none are (zero -0) REO (Bank Foreclosure) listings, or 0% of the current listings are distressed, which is a clear sign that the market is stabilizing and moving up in price.

Currently we are experiencing a very limited selection of homes available for sale in the Alpine Meadows area.  I would expect to see a few more sales in the second half of 2013 with the average median homes sales price for the Alpine Meadows area to remain above the average median home sale price level realized in 2012 of $565,000.

It’s time to see how the Kings Beach, California real estate market has performed from January 1, 2013 through May 31, 2013.  Here is the Kings Beach, California 96143 homes for sale real estate market report.

Kings Beach Homes Sold Market Report – May 2013:

Kings Beach Homes for Sale Market Report – May 2013Sold Sales: Kings Beach had 22 single family homes from January 1, 2013 through May 31, 2013.

Average Median Home Sales Price:  The Kings Beach average median home sales price was $342,750, which is a 7% increase in price over 2012 and a 13% increase in price over 2011.  Homes sold ranged from a low of $126,600 to $725,000.

Days on Market:  The median average days on market was 87 DOM.

Cash Sale Transactions: The number of cash sale transactions for the Homewood area decreased to 36%, which is above the Tahoe- Truckee Regional average of 27%.  Kings Beach cash buyers represents more than 1 out of every 3 homes sold in the area, which means buyers have strong competition from other buyers.

Distress Sales:  Distressed sellers (bank foreclosures- real estate owned (REO’s) and short sales) in the Kings Beach area have decreased to 36% of all homes sold in 2013.  Of those distressed sales 63% of those properties were listed in 2012, so the number of foreclosures and short sales that have closed this year were from the hang-over of distressed inventory from 2012, which means distressed sales are not the dominating factor they have been in previous years.

Active Homes for Sale: There were 25 Active– available homes for sale in the Kings Beach area as of 06/15/2013. This is our largest selection of inventory that we have had all year.  Kings Beach homes ranged in price from $231,900 to $5.5 million, with an average median asking sales price of $675,000.

Of the 25 homes offered for sale, none (Zero – 0) are short sales, one is a (1) REO (Bank Foreclosure) listings, or only 4% of the current listings are distressed, which is a clear sign that the market is stabilizing and moving up in price.

Kings Beach Homes for Sale Market Report – May 2013Absorption Rate: The current absorption rate for the Kings Beach area is at 3.57 months, which indicates a Sellers’ market as of 06/15/2013. (Less than 5 months is a Seller’s Market, 5-7 months is a Balanced Market and more than 7 months of inventory is a Buyer’s Market.)

Pending Home Sales: There are fifteen (15) pending home sales in the Kings Beach area and they range from $116,900 to $510,900. There are five (5) short sales, and four (4) REO/Bank Foreclosures.

I would expect to see more sales, and the average median homes sales price for the Kings Beach area to move up for the second half of the year as the reduced number of distressed sellers continues to decrease and currently represents only 4% of the available market for sale.

Kings Beach, California 96143
