Tahoe City Condo Values | Market Report – Year End 2018
Looking for sold, year-end 2018 condo/townhouse market data for the Tahoe City?
Here is the year-end 2018 review for Tahoe City. The Tahoe City real estate market conditions continue to be strong, and favor Sellers.
Inventory levels of available condos/townhomes for sale in Tahoe City remain critically low and limited with Buyers having very few buying options most price points. On January 13, 2019 there were only 8 condos/townho
mes for sale.

Condo/Townhome prices move up in 2018, and followed the over-all North Lake Tahoe – Truckee regional market trend. You can see on the graph below that the over-all Tahoe City price trend for the average median condo sold sales price move up.
The Tahoe City condo prices were up +10.5% for 2018, with a median average sales price of $430,000 (TSMLS Areas 3-4).
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, Sellers realized 97.3% of the their listed price to the sold average median sales price in the Tahoe City area (MLS Areas 3-4).
In every day terms this means Sellers are getting close to their full asking price, if they have priced their property correctly.
It also means Tahoe condo Buyers do have a little more wiggle room on price, which is not the case in the single family home market for Tahoe City homes sold that was at 99.5% in 2018.

Other interesting Tahoe City Condo/Townhouse market observations: Days on Market (DOM) dropped significantly from 70 DOM to 48 DOM for 2018.
By comparison the number of days on the market for condo/townhome sales in 2018 was down -59.6% from the 117 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.
Reduced Transactions – The number of sold condo/townhouse sales in the greater Tahoe City area decreased 22%.
This may be our first real signal that market conditions are changing, or it could just be reduced available properties combined with higher pricing.
As a result, I recommend looking at the entire North Lake Tahoe – Truckee Region for larger market trends. North Lake Tahoe – Truckee Home Values | Market Report – Year End 2018

Tahoe Condo/Townhome or Home Buyers should do the following:
- See new listings as soon as possible. Tahoe second property Buyers should try to driving up the next day to see the property and not wait until the weekend.
- Ready, set, go! Be prepared to make a buying decision immediately.
- Work with an experienced local Tahoe Real Estate Agent. They understand the market conditions, and many Buyer Agents know how the other side will work on their pricing and negotiation tactics.
- It’s a small market and local knowledge is very valuable!
- If you will need a loan, make sure your lender has approved you. You will need to move quickly and not having your loan lined up will put you at a disadvantage.
- If you are buying a condo or townhome in the area, make sure you are using a local lender. Using a local lender that has recently processed a loan in the complex you want to buy in will do two things for you. One, you will have the confidence that the lender has already reviewed their HOA docs and previously approved the development, increasing your odds of the same outcome. Second, Sellers that know you have selected a lender with this experience will give you extra credit for knowing your lender is ready to go on their property.
