Tahoe Pines, Homewood, CA 96141 Real Estate Market Trends December 2013

Here are some current real estate market trends and data for the Tahoe Pine neighborhood of Homewood, California 96141 area for December 2013.

This is my local view of what the Tahoe Pines, Homewood housing market is really doing.

Limited inventory in the Tahoe Pines, Homewood area continues to provide higher pricing support for home sales. The Tahoe Pines, Homewood area is becoming harder to get into with the starting price at just under $600,000, making it one of the more expensive communities on the West Lake Tahoe real estate market to get into with a current home price range of $599,000 to just under $1.3 million (as of 12/02/2013).

The high-end luxury market has been stronger with good Tahoe Pines, Homewood lakefront sales, with one pending sale, with a listed sales price of $4.995 million.

The entire West Lake Tahoe area has improved and as we move into our winter season serious Homewood home buyers may find the selection of mountain homes and cabins for sale very limiting, which may turn out to be a great opportunity for Tahoe Pines, Homewood sellers who decide to put their properties on the market this winter and take advantage of lack of inventory.

Remember when we have only a handful of sales in a neighborhood, the increase and decrease swings in the percent changes can be significant. Numbers are easily moved in either direction depending on the combination of homes sold. When reviewing neighborhood data, I recommend reviewing the overall Lake Tahoe, California area, or the entire Lake Tahoe – Truckee Region to confirm trends and direction, rather than relying on just a small group of sales.
