Market Activity Summary:
This past week the Tahoe-Truckee area experienced some winter weather which may have been the reason for a slower sales week where only 17 properties sold for the week. That being said, there continues to be a great deal of activity brewing and continued buyer interest in our market.
With residential and lot sales up 78% from the previous year, it points to the fact that astute buyers continue to show strong interested in investing in Tahoe-Truckee real estate which is priced in some cases at 2001 price levels.
One of the key reasons for the spike in unit sales is highly influenced by the drop in home prices. The median sales prices have decreased by 11% to $400,000 and average sales prices have decreased by 9% to $526,586.
We continue to see a greater percentage of sales in the REO and Short Sale arena as roughly 37% of our sales are either REO’s or Short Sales. However, there is still considerable interest in non distressed properties as many are priced at levels that are too good to pass up.
We are continuing to see the trend for sales towards homes priced under $500,000 with 64% of the sales this year being in this price range.

Market Activity Summary:
In the early going of 2010 sales are up 68% from the same time last year to 32 properties sold. If this trend continues 2010 sales should be better than in 2009. We are continuing to see the trend for sales towards homes priced under $500,000 with 78% of the sales this year being in this price range. Homes sold as REO’s are 34% of the sales which is a higher amount than our averages for 2009.
We continue to see good activity in the market as buyers are very interested in taking advantage of our large inventory of properties that are priced at 2003 levels.
