Tahoe Pines, Homewood, West Shore, Lake Tahoe, California Real Estate Market Report – November 2011

The Tahoe Pines neighborhood of Homewood, California is located approximately 5 miles south of Tahoe City on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe.

Tahoe Pines, Homewood, California - West Shore, Lake Tahoe California

The Tahoe Pines area is one of the older neighborhoods in Lake Tahoe and was established in 1911.  It is a small, West Shore neighborhood, that is just a couple of miles north of the Homewood Ski Resort.This West Shore neighborhood is close to Lake Tahoe recreational activities such as boating, hiking, biking (dirt and paved trails), tennis, golf, skiing, shopping, and restaurants.  It is also home to Fleur du Lac, a small, exclusive, gated group of townhomes, which is where the movie The Godfather II was filmed back in the early 1970’s. 
 
The Tahoe Pines neighborhood is a mix of smaller, older, Tahoe cabins, to larger, newer luxury mountain homes, with a limited number of lakefront properties.  Home owners do have the option to join a local home owners group that has access to a gated shared pier, located at the end of Grand Avenue.  This second home neighborhood has more of a mountain – forest feel to it, and when it snows, home owners really know that they are living near a ski resort area.

*YTD period is 01/01/2011 – 11/08/2011.  Data Source:Tahoe Sierra Multiple Listing Service.   One lakefront in Tahoe Pines did sell this year, but was not reported in the MLS, so it is not included in this data.

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.

Note:Year-to-date summaries are based on information from the Tahoe Sierra Board of Realtors (TSMLS).   Due to TSMLS reporting methods and allowable reporting policy, this data is only informational and may not be completely accurate.  Therefore, Laura Allen, or Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage does not guarantee the data’s accuracy.  Data maintained by the TMLS’s may not reflect all real estate activity in the market.
