Dollar Point Home Values | Market Report – Year End 2018

Looking for sold, year-end 2018 single family home market data for the Dollar Point neighborhood in Tahoe City?

Here is the year-end 2018 review for the Dollar Point, Tahoe City neighborhood.

The Dollar Point, Tahoe City real estate market conditions continue to be strong, and favor Sellers.  

Inventory levels of available homes for sale in Dollar Point, and for homes for sale in the greater Tahoe City area remain critically low.

Buyers have very few buying options.  On January 30, 2019 there were only 4 homes for sale in Dollar Point. As a point of reference there were only 21 homes for sale in the Tahoe City area.

Here are the current listings Tahoe City homes for sale:

Single family home prices moved up significantly in 2018 for the entire North Lake Tahoe – Truckee region, and Dollar Point did even better.

You can see on the graph below that the over-all home sold sales price trend for the Dollar Point area has moved up with 2018, posting a new average median home sold price of $1,450,000, surpassing the 2008 average median home sold price of $1,350,000.  

Depending on the mix of homes sold, the median average has bounced up and down, so we’ve looked at a more general trend line, rather than from year-to-year.

The Tahoe City single family home prices were up for 2018, with a median average sales price of $1,450,000, which was well above the Tahoe City median home sold average of 825,000.

A common question I am often asked by Buyers and Sellers is:

• “What percentage of the listed price are Sellers getting on their Tahoe property?”

In 2018, the list to sold price ratio was 100% of the their listed median average sales price to the sold average median sales price in the Dollar Point neighborhood.

This does not mean every Dollar Point home seller received 100% of their asking price. 

It does mean there were enough home sales that sold above their listed price to off-set those listings that sold below their asking prices to average out 100%.

This is higher than the over-all North Lake Tahoe -Truckee region, which was slightly lower at 98.9%. 

In every day terms, this means if Sellers have priced their property correctly for its features, location, and condition they are doing very well with these market conditions.

This also means Tahoe Buyers that want to low-ball, or be really aggressive on their offered price are going to have a hard time in the this market.

Other interesting Dollar Pointy single family home market observations:

Days on Market (DOM) increased.  For 2018 the number of days on the market for single family homes is now at 40 days, which is up 6 day from the 34 days on market in 2017, but is down 64% from the 110 DOM in 2016.

The shorter the marketing time for a home, the stronger the market is for Sellers. 

Inventory – Current inventory levels are critically low.  Again, another sign of the market favoring Sellers.

High Number of Sales – The total number of sales in the Dollar Point neighborhood was significantly higher in 2018 over 2017. 

In 2018 there were 29 home sales compared to only 18 home sale in 2017.

Dollar Point home sales made up almost 26% of the total number of homes sold in the greater Tahoe City, CA area. 

Home sales data in the greater Tahoe area is limited, and often small for neighborhoods, so I always  encourage home and condo buyers and sellers to review the largest data set, and look at those trends for the area for more market insight.

It is easy to move averages up, or down so take a look at the the entire North Lake Tahoe – Truckee Region to confirm smaller neighborhood trends. North Lake Tahoe – Truckee Home Values | Market Report – Year End 2018
