The Northstar neighborhood is a premium ski resort location.  This resort area is very desirable for many reasons.  Property owners find the close proximity to the Ritz Carlton at Tahoe resort and the Village at Northstar, with all of its amenities such as shopping, restaurants, ski lifts, ice skating, and the special events that the Northstar organizers put on a real plus. 

They also find the close proximity to Truckee, California and Lake Tahoe recreational activities such as boating, hiking, biking, tennis, golf, skiing, shopping, and restaurants makes the Northstar area a great community to live in.

The Northstar area is known for its easy year-around access, the larger lot sizes, and the nice wide streets.  It’s an easy neighborhood to get to on a year-around basis, and winter vacation rentals in the area are very desirable.

Northstar has approximately 569 parcels.  Some of the properties are ski-in and ski-out.  Many are golf course properties that back to the Northstar 18-hole golf course.

Northstar (Truckee), Lake Tahoe, California – Sold Single Family Homes:

The Northstar (Truckee), Lake Tahoe, California ski resort area single family home prices have dropped -34% since 2006, reflecting the overall decline and market correction that seems to have hit most markets. 

Second home buyers have taken advantage of this price correction in 2011, which is seen in the increase in home sales volume, which is up 61% over 2010 volume sales. 

Cash sale transactions were at 48% of the Northstar home market, which is above the regional average of 35%, again showing us that investors found value in this market and a good place to invest their dollars.  

The current absorption rate for the Northstar neighborhood is at 8.7 months.  Anything above 7 months of inventory is considered a Buyers’ market.  Getting an absorption rate below 7 months is the first step to turning around a declining market is reducing the current inventory.         

Distress sales (bank foreclosures- real estate owned (REO’s) and short sales) accounted for 17% of all homes sold in 2011, which is a slight decrease over last year.  While most sellers are not distressed sellers, having REO’s or short sales in their neighborhood puts pricing pressure on regular sellers as these distressed sales are helping to set the sales price for all sellers in a neighborhood.  The second step to turning a declining market around is to work through the short sales and foreclosures.

There were 23 Active – available homes for sale in the Northstar area as of 01/29/2012.  They ranged in price from $485,500 to $3,250,000.  Of the 23 homes offered for sale there were no bank foreclosures zero (0) REO listings, but two (2) short sales, which made up making up 9% of the available inventory.  There are five (5) pending sales in this exclusive vacation-resort second home market ranging in listed price from $419,950 to $1,165,000, one of these sales is an REO listing.
