$29M+ in Q3: The Stories Behind the Sales

Posted on by Liza Muhl

Behind that number are very different properties, clients and paths to closing, and that’s the part of Q3 I find most meaningful.

This quarter included on-market and off-market sales, lakefront, repeat clients, new relationships, referrals and opportunities that came together through years of connection and trust.

Different Transactions. One Consistent Approach.

Some transactions come together quickly. Others require patience, thoughtful positioning and a lot of work behind the scenes. Some begin with a new introduction. Others are the next chapter in a relationship that began years ago.

Some properties benefit from broad exposure on the open market. Others call for discretion and a more targeted approach. Every situation is different.

My role is to understand what the moment calls for, and build the strategy around the client, the property and the market.

The Value of Relationships

One of the most rewarding parts of this business is seeing how relationships continue to shape it.

A past client becomes a repeat client. A satisfied client introduces a friend. A conversation that started years ago eventually becomes a transaction. More than half of my sales this year have come from past clients and their referrals. In a market as relationship-driven as Tahoe, that trust matters.

Looking Ahead

Q3 brought $29M+ in sales, but more importantly, it brought another collection of clients who trusted me to help them navigate an important move in their lives. Different properties, strategies, and circumstances.

One thing remained constant: showing up, staying close to the details and doing the work required to move each transaction forward.

I’m grateful for every client, referral and relationship that contributed to this quarter, and excited for what’s ahead.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Lake Tahoe, I’d love to be a resource and talk through what’s next.

Maybe this is the Season | New Price at 836 Holly Road in Tahoe City

Posted on by Liza Muhl

A Home for the Seasons Ahead in Tahoe Woods

3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | 1,920 Sq Ft

Listed Price $1,650,000

Fall in Tahoe makes you think about the season ahead. The mornings get quieter, the trees begin to change, and the air gets colder. And before long, winter arrives.

For buyers looking for a Tahoe home, this is the time of year when the idea of having your own place here starts to feel especially tangible.

At 836 Holly Road in Tahoe City, that idea comes with a peaceful setting among the pines and a home that is ready to enjoy.

It is now offered at $1,650,000.

Where Tahoe Starts to Slow You Down

Tucked against acres of open forest land, 836 Holly has a sense of privacy that is immediately felt. There is no need to create the Tahoe experience here. It is already outside the door.

The large back deck looks toward uninterrupted forest, creating a natural setting for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or dinner outside when the weather allows.

Inside, the home feels equally connected to its surroundings. Vaulted ceilings and skylights bring natural light into the spacious great room, while the surrounding trees provide a quiet backdrop throughout the day.

Made for Cozy Mornings

The best Tahoe homes often have a certain feeling. They make you want to stay in your slippers a little longer.

The chef’s kitchen features custom cherry wood cabinetry and quartz countertops, creating a warm and inviting space for everyday meals or gatherings with friends.

The primary suite offers its own retreat, with a fireplace and en suite bath featuring a jetted soaking tub.

Come winter, it is easy to imagine a morning here. Snow outside. Fire going. Coffee in hand. Nowhere else to be.

A Home That Works Beyond One Season

One of the things I encourage buyers to consider when looking at Tahoe properties is how they will use the home throughout the year.

Will it be a weekend escape?

A place for holidays with family?

A summer base for time on the lake?

Or perhaps somewhere you eventually want to spend more of your time?

836 Holly works across those seasons.

Thoughtfully Updated

836 Holly Road was extensively remodeled in 2009, with updates that allow its next owners to settle in and enjoy the home. That distinction matters.

There is something appealing about arriving in Tahoe and knowing the major work has already been done. You can spend your time here actually living. Exploring the trails. Head to the lake. Skiing in winter. Or simply staying home and enjoying the quiet.

Why Tahoe City

For buyers considering North Lake Tahoe, Tahoe City offers a balance that is hard to replicate.

You have access to the lake, outdoor recreation, restaurants, shops, and the surrounding mountain communities. Yet properties tucked into areas like Tahoe Woods can still offer the feeling of retreat many buyers are looking for. That balance is often what brings people to Tahoe in the first place. And it is why I encourage buyers to consider not just the home, but how the location fits into the way they want to live here.

Maybe this is the season to make Tahoe home. If you’d like a private tour or more information on this property, contact Amie Quirarte with SERHANT. Lake Tahoe.

Sold in Homewood: Eight Years, One Home, One Relationship

Posted on by Liza Muhl

Eight Years, One Home, A Relationship Built on Trust

4820 Sacramento Avenue, Homewood, California

5 Bedrooms | 4.5 Bathrooms | 3,633 Sq Ft

Sale Price $2,950,000

It Started With a Little Trust

In 2018, they were buyers from out of the area, leaning on me to help them find the right property in Tahoe, despite not knowing me very well or knowing how much they could trust me (yet).

A home on Sacramento Avenue in Homewood caught their eye, one that didn’t quite look like anything else on the market.

A Home That Didn’t Fit the Mold

No easy comps, no cookie-cutter floor plan to point to. Just an exceptional property with real character, and a couple willing to trust that character over convention.

They trusted me to help them see what it was worth, and they bought it.

Eight Years Later, We Were Back

Eight years later, that trust came full circle.

When it was time to sell 4820 Sacramento, we faced the same challenge from the other side: a home unlike its neighbors, hard to price by the book because there simply wasn’t a book to use.

We went deep into the data, studied every comparable we could find, and built a strategy around what made this property genuinely rare rather than trying to force it into a mold.

Ten Days Later

Ten days later, we were in escrow.

Purchased in 2018 for $1,900,000, 4820 Sacramento closed in 2026 at $2,950,000. Over $1M in equity gained.

More Than a Transaction

Same clients, hard-to-price home, the instinct to trust the process, and eight years apart.

That’s the kind of relationship that makes this work meaningful. It isn’t the sign in the yard, but the people who let you walk with them through both ends of a home’s story.

Congratulations to my wonderful sellers on this next chapter. And thank you for trusting me with both sides of the journey.

Thinking About What’s Next?

Whether you’re considering a move in Tahoe or simply want to understand what your options might look like, I’m always happy to be a resource.

Dollar Point | A Meaningful Price Adjustment Can Change the Conversation

Posted on by Liza Muhl

A Significant Opportunity in Dollar Point

3305 Dardanelles Avenue, Tahoe City, California

5 Bedrooms | 5.5 Bathrooms | 3,794 Sq Ft

Now Offered $3,950,000

A New Opportunity in Dollar Point

A meaningful price adjustment can change the conversation around a property. For 3305 Dardanelles Avenue in Dollar Point, the conversation has just changed.

This custom-built Tahoe home is now offered at $3,950,000, representing a $250,000 reduction from its previous price of $4.2 million.

But for me, the more interesting question is not simply what changed in price. It is what buyers are getting at this level.

A Home Designed Around the Tahoe Setting

One of the first things I look for when evaluating a Tahoe property is how well the home connects with its surroundings. At 3305 Dardanelles, the setting is a major part of the experience.

The home captures sweeping views of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada, creating a backdrop that changes with the light and seasons. That connection continues inside.

Completed in 2018, the 3,794-square-foot residence combines contemporary design with materials and finishes that feel appropriate for a Tahoe home.

There are five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, along with custom millwork, designer flooring, and a chef’s kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line appliances.

The result is sophisticated without losing sight of where the home is.

Why Dollar Point Matters

I often encourage buyers to think beyond the property itself.

Where will you spend your time?

What do you want to be able to do without getting in the car?

And what kind of Tahoe experience do you want your home to provide?

Dollar Point answers many of those questions through its private community amenities. Residents enjoy access to a private beach, pier, buoy field, pool, tennis, and pickleball.

For buyers looking for a home that works as both a private retreat and a place to fully enjoy the Tahoe lifestyle, that matters.

Thoughtful Details That Add Long-Term Flexibility

Some of the most valuable features in a home are not always the ones that photograph best. 3305 Dardanelles includes a dedicated space for a future elevator.

That may not be at the top of a buyer’s wish list today. But thoughtful planning like this can create flexibility for the future. It can support multigenerational living, long-term accessibility, or simply make the home easier to enjoy over time.

That is the kind of detail I pay attention to when helping buyers evaluate a property.

The Q Take

For buyers who have been watching the Dollar Point market, this is a significant opportunity. At this level, buyers are not simply purchasing square footage. They are considering the setting, the views, the quality of the home, the community, and how all of those pieces work together.

That is why I think this price adjustment is worth another look. If you have been considering Dollar Point, this is a property worth seeing in person.

The Off-Market Sale: When The Right Property Isn’t On the Market

Posted on by Liza Muhl

Off-Market Tahoe Home Sold in Dollar Point for $2.95M

148 Edgewood Drive, Tahoe City, California

4 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms | 2,289 SF

Sale Price $2,950,000

Late last year, I got a couple of calls from past clients who had received a call directly from a buyer looking to purchase a view property in Dollar Point.

This buyer was working with another agent at the time, but she had missed out on a few properties and felt like she needed to take matters into her own hands.

She identified the properties that would work, looked up the owners, and cold-called them directly.

In doing so, she ended up calling multiple clients of mine.

Every one of them sent her in my direction.

We met for coffee the next day.

The buyers decided they wanted to work with me, someone who could be more proactive in their search.

The Search

Once we started working together, I knew this would require a different approach.

The right property wasn’t sitting on the MLS waiting to be found.

I spent the next few months tapping into every resource I had: I called owners, called other brokers, and left no stone unturned as we searched for the perfect view property.

I found multiple homes off-market, but none quite fit the bill.

We kept our search going.

That’s an important part of representing buyers in a market like Tahoe.

Sometimes the property that checks every box requires a search beyond the properties currently available to the public.

That means knowing the neighborhoods. Knowing the properties. Knowing the owners and brokers. And being willing to make the calls.

Finding the Right Property

After rigorous outreach, I found the right property in May.

148 Edgewood Drive in Dollar Point.

It was an off-market opportunity that never hit the MLS.

I toured it on a Sunday afternoon.

The buyers were here in less than 48 hours.

Less than a week later, we were in escrow.

The property ultimately closed at $2,950,000, with me representing the buyers.

The Q Take

There is a particular kind of value in having an agent who knows where to look when the property you want isn’t publicly available.

This search took months.

It required persistence, relationships, outreach and a willingness to keep looking when the first opportunities weren’t the right ones.

For these buyers, the right home was ultimately found off-market, through the kind of direct outreach that happens well beyond an MLS search.

This is what it looks like when your agent knows the market inside and out, and is willing to do the work to prove it.

Who you work with matters.

Another Lakefront Sold in Tahoe: 7708 North Lake Blvd. Sells for $4.175M

Posted on by Liza Muhl

Lakefront Real Estate is Rarely Simple

7708 North Lake Boulevard, Tahoe Vista, California

3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | 1,304 SF

Sale Price $4,175,000

Everyone likes to talk about the easy sales.

The ones that move fast and close without a hitch.

Most lakefront sales aren’t that.

7708 North Lake Blvd. in Tahoe Vista is a good example.

The property ultimately sold for $4,175,000, with Amie Quirarte representing the sellers. But getting to the finish line took time, coordination, strategy, and persistence.

Lakefront Comes With Layers

Lakefront property carries a level of complexity that many other Tahoe transactions don’t.

There can be multiple agencies involved. TRPA review. Land use planners. Property-specific considerations. And coordination across the buyers, sellers, agents, consultants, and other professionals involved in the transaction.

Every piece has to come together.

It’s a different kind of transaction, and it takes a different kind of agent to see it through.

For 7708 North Lake, the process took longer than we hoped.

So we stayed with it.

We did the work. Adjusted the strategy when the market called for it. We kept moving the transaction forward.

And ultimately, we found the right buyer.

The Work Behind the Sale

A successful lakefront transaction is measured by the closing, but the work happens long before that moment.

It happens in the follow-up: In understanding the property’s position in the market, navigating the layers that come with Tahoe lakefront ownership, communicating consistently with everyone involved, and in staying engaged when the timeline stretches longer than anticipated.

That persistence matters.

For a seller, a property of this significance deserves an agent who remains fully engaged from the first conversation through the final signature.

And that is something worth celebrating.

The Q Take

Not every successful sale is defined by how quickly it happens.

Some transactions demonstrate something else: the value of staying power.

Lakefront real estate in Tahoe requires experience, patience, coordination, and a willingness to stay engaged through every layer of the process.

I’ve spent 12+ years selling real estate in Tahoe, and this is how I work every time.

Not just when it’s easy.

When it’s your lakefront on the line, you want someone who stays in it, start to finish, no matter how long that takes.

Who you work with matters.

A Case Study in How Luxury Tahoe Real Estate Can Actually Trade

Posted on by Liza Muhl

A Quiet Sale. Multiple Offers. A $2.05 Million Result.

113 Marlette Drive, Tahoe City, California

3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | 2,500 SF

Sale Price $2,050,000

The Value of a Quiet Market

There are moments in Tahoe real estate when the right strategy is knowing exactly how much of the market needs to see a property.

For 113 Marlette Drive in Dollar Point, I took the property to market quietly, working privately with a small pool of qualified buyers and their agents.

The response was immediate.

The property drew multiple offers before the broader market ever knew it was available. My seller closed at $2,050,000, with meaningful leverage throughout the process.

For me, this is a good example of how an off-market strategy can work when it is paired with deep local knowledge and the right relationships.

Knowing the Market, House by House

I have spent more than 12 years learning Dollar Point property values, house by house.

That experience matters because every property has its own story. Condition, location, improvements, timing and buyer demand all shape how a property should be brought to market.

And that is an important part of representing Tahoe sellers. Knowing who the property is right for can be just as important as knowing what it is worth.

The Q Take

Luxury Tahoe real estate does not always trade loudly.

Sometimes the strongest opportunity comes from knowing the market deeply, understanding the property honestly and having the relationships to connect the right buyer with the right home.

That is the value of experience in a market like Tahoe.

Who you work with matters.

THE Q TAKE | A Market That’s Shifting Faster Than Most Realize

Posted on by Liza Muhl

North Shore Tahoe Real Estate

There is a lot being said about the Tahoe real estate market right now. I tend to pay more attention to what I’m seeing firsthand. The conversations I’m having with buyers. The properties they are asking about. Where they are coming from. What they are willing to wait for. And, on the seller side, what happens when a truly exceptional property becomes available.

After nearly 17 years of calling Tahoe home and almost a decade and a half in this business, I’ve learned that the biggest shifts often show up in these details before they become obvious in the broader market.

Right now, I see several things worth watching.

Quality lakefront inventory is getting harder to find

The first is the simplest. Quality, turnkey lakefront inventory is tight, and it has been tightening for a while. There are always properties on the market. That doesn’t mean there is a deep supply of the properties buyers actually want.

The distinction matters.

When buyers are looking for a combination of lakefront access, views, privacy, location and turnkey condition, the pool becomes very small. And when one of those properties comes to market, the conversation can change quickly. That is the part of the market I watch closely. Not simply how much inventory exists, but what kind of inventory it is.

The Tahoe buyer is changing

For a long time, much of the Tahoe conversation centered around the second home. That buyer is still very much here. But I’m also seeing more people think about Tahoe as a primary residence decision, particularly on the Nevada side of the lake. That is an important shift.

I grew up in Pacifica, just outside San Francisco and Silicon Valley, before eventually making Tahoe home. I understand the connection many Bay Area families have with this lake because I’ve lived that transition myself.

Many of my clients have built a life around Tahoe without living here full-time. They may spend summers on the lake, winters skiing, weekends with family. Over time, the second home can become something much more significant.

For some buyers, the question has evolved from:

“Where do we want our Tahoe home?”

to:

“Could Tahoe actually be home?”

That changes the conversation around real estate.

I’m watching the relationship between Tahoe and the Bay Area

The connection between Tahoe and the Bay Area has always been meaningful. It is also one of the reasons I pay close attention to what is happening in Silicon Valley and the broader technology economy.

New wealth has historically found its way into real estate, and Tahoe has long been one of the places that attracts it. I don’t think every change in the technology sector translates directly into a Tahoe purchase. Real estate is more complicated than that. But capital tends to move. And Tahoe remains a compelling destination for people who have the resources to be highly selective about where they spend their time and money.

That makes the Bay Area an important feeder market to watch.

Sellers have more options than simply going public

This is something I think about with every listing. When a seller hires me, my first question isn’t necessarily, “How do we put this on the MLS?”

It’s:

“Who is the buyer for this property?”

Sometimes I already have a pretty good idea.

Before a property goes public, I often build a private list of qualified buyers from my network, sometimes 15 to 20 people, and start those conversations.

Who is actually looking?

Who has been waiting for something like this?

Who might move if the right property became available?

Some of my best sales have happened without an open house. For a seller who values discretion, that can be a significant advantage. It allows us to control who sees the property, when they see it, and how the opportunity is introduced. It also gives us information. And information is valuable when you are deciding how and when to bring a property to market.

Relationships tell me a lot about where the market is going

There is another piece of this that doesn’t show up neatly in a market report.

Who is calling?

My business has always been heavily relationship driven. Many of my clients come through referrals, and I continue to work with families years after their first Tahoe transaction. That gives me a different kind of market perspective. A conversation with someone who bought a Tahoe home five or ten years ago can tell you something a market statistic can’t.

Maybe they’re thinking about selling.

Maybe they’re looking for something larger.

Maybe they want to spend more time here.

Maybe their children are now old enough to enjoy Tahoe differently.

The reasons people buy and sell change. The relationship allows me to understand those changes.

So what does this mean if you own property on the North Shore?

For me, it comes back to context. If you own a property, I think it’s worth understanding exactly where it sits in today’s market. Not simply, “What is my home worth?”

But:

Who would buy it today?

What would they be comparing it to?

How much competing inventory actually exists?

What features are driving demand?

Would the right buyer already be within reach of the property?

And perhaps most importantly:

What is the right strategy for this particular property?

There isn’t one answer for every seller. The same is true for buyers. The right opportunity isn’t always the biggest house or the highest-priced property. Sometimes it is the property that fits the way you actually want to live in Tahoe.

That is where local knowledge becomes important.

The Q Take

The North Shore market is evolving. Quality inventory remains limited. Bay Area demand remains important. The profile of the Tahoe buyer is broadening. And I think we are going to continue seeing interesting movement between the second-home and primary-residence markets.

For sellers, I believe preparation and access to the right buyers matter more than simply being visible.

For buyers, patience and perspective matter.

And for both, understanding the market before making a major decision matters.

Just my perspective on what I’m seeing in Tahoe right now, and what I think is worth watching next.

What Northstar Buyers Are Really Paying For: Location, Access and Four-Season Ownership

Posted on by Liza Muhl

The Seasons Change. The Lifestyle Stays

7001 Northstar Drive, Unit 411, Truckee, California

2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | 1,231 SF

Offered at $1,240,000

There is something special about the change of seasons at Northstar.

Fall brings crisp mountain air, golden aspens, and quieter days in the village. Soon, the first snow will arrive, bringing fresh powder, ski days, and long evenings in the mountains.

For buyers considering a Tahoe property, this is when I often think about what makes Northstar different. After working with buyers and sellers throughout North Lake Tahoe, I have seen how much the right location can shape the way a second home is actually enjoyed.

For some buyers, it begins with ski access. For others, it is the ability to use a home throughout the year, with an easy arrival, nearby amenities, and something to enjoy in every season.

Northstar brings those pieces together exceptionally well.

Why Northstar?

Location means something different to every Tahoe buyer.

If winter recreation is the priority, proximity to the mountain matters. If the property is intended to be a true second home, year-round usability becomes equally important. And for many buyers, convenience matters more than they initially realize.

Northstar offers all three.

The resort provides a true four-season experience, with skiing and snowboarding in winter and hiking, mountain biking, golf, and outdoor recreation during the warmer months.

The village adds another important layer. Dining, shopping, activities, and gathering spaces are all close by. You can spend a day outside without getting in the car every time you want to do something.

That ease is one of Northstar’s greatest strengths.

You can arrive for the weekend, park your car, and settle into mountain life.

For a second-home owner, that matters. It means more time enjoying Tahoe and less time managing the logistics of being here.

A Location That Works in Every Season

Northstar’s appeal extends well beyond ski season.

In fall, the surrounding forests become a backdrop for hiking, biking, and quiet mornings outdoors. Winter brings the experience Northstar is best known for, with the Gondola connecting the village directly to the mountain.

Then summer opens up an entirely different side of the community.

There are trails to explore, golf to play, bikes to ride, and long evenings to enjoy outside.

The seasons change. The lifestyle remains.

That is part of what makes Northstar such a compelling place to own.

Steps From the Gondola

At 7001 Northstar Drive #411, that lifestyle starts right outside your door.

Located in the heart of Northstar Village, this fourth-floor residence is just steps from the Gondola. For skiers, that is a meaningful advantage. You can walk to the lift rather than drive to the mountain, return home easily between runs, or finish the day with dinner in the village.

It is the kind of convenience that becomes more valuable every time you use it.

A Mountain Home With Room to Stay

The two-bedroom, two-bath residence offers a comfortable retreat after a day outside.

The spacious kitchen creates room to gather with family and friends. Hardwood floors add warmth, while the gas fireplace creates an inviting place to settle in after a day on the mountain. The balcony extends the living space outdoors with beautiful mountain views.

There is also a full-sized washer and dryer, a ground-level ski locker, and one underground parking space. Residents have access to a swimming pool, jacuzzi, and gym as well.

These details may not be what initially draws you to Northstar. They are the details that make ownership easier once you are here.

The Opportunity Beyond the Property

When I talk with buyers about Tahoe, I encourage them to think beyond the house itself.

Ask how you want to spend your time here.

Ask how often you want to come.

Think about who will use the property with you.

And consider what you want Tahoe to feel like when you arrive.

Those questions can change the way you evaluate a property.

For buyers looking for a mountain home with strong year-round appeal, Northstar deserves a close look. It combines the outdoor lifestyle people come to Tahoe for with the convenience and amenities of a thoughtfully designed resort community.

That combination is difficult to replicate.

A New Season at Northstar

The aspens will soon turn golden. The air will get colder. Then the first snow will arrive. Fresh powder. Ski days. Après-ski evenings. Fireside dinners.

At 7001 Northstar Drive #411, you can be at the center of it all.

To learn more about this Northstar residence or schedule a private showing, explore 7001 Northstar Drive, Unit 411.

A cozy fireplace adds warmth and ambiance. The en suite bathroom features a jetted soaking tub, creating a relaxing space to unwind after a day outdoors.
