A Full-Circle Moment: Speaking at WomanUP!®

WomanUP!®: Empowering Women in Real Estate

I had the honor of serving as the keynote speaker at the WomanUP!® conference hosted by the California Association of Realtors in Pasadena this month. I chose to focus my presentation on the Psychology of Fear—how it shows up in our work as real estate professionals and in our everyday lives.

A bit of history: WomanUP!® began in 2017 to address a powerful gap: women make up the majority of REALTORS®, but a much smaller percentage hold brokerage leadership positions. What started as a one-day gathering has evolved into a national movement championing mentorship, leadership, and equity in real estate.

Public speaking doesn’t come naturally to me, but having my three-year-old daughter, Alaska, in the audience made all the difference. She sat quietly in the back of the room, watching as I spoke about overcoming fear, embracing challenges, and stepping into our full potential.

Grateful for the opportunity, the platform, and the mission of WomanUP!® to elevate and empower women in our industry. It was such a proud and meaningful moment—for me as a mother, a woman, and a Realtor.

The Tale of Three Markets in Tahoe

Posted on by Liza Muhl

Positioning in Today’s Tahoe Markets

Where you stand depends on where you sit—and in Tahoe real estate, that’s never been more true. From charming cabins to mountain top estates, Tahoe’s real estate market is telling three very different stories right now. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply keeping a pulse on the market, here’s a look at what’s happening across the spectrum:

Entry-Level & Mid-Market

In areas like Truckee, Tahoe Donner, and Kings Beach, homes in the more accessible price range are moving quickly. Buyers are active, inventory is tight, and well-priced homes in great condition are attracting strong interest. If you’re a seller in this tier, this is your moment. But pricing and presentation still matter—today’s buyers are informed and expect value.

Luxury Market

The $2 million to $5 million price bracket—often considered “luxury” in Tahoe—tells a more cautious story. We’re seeing longer days on market, more negotiations, and a noticeable shift toward buyer selectivity. High-end properties in Incline Village, Martis Camp, Lahontan, and the West Shore remain desirable, but the bar is higher. Quality, location, and pricing must align to stand out in this space.

Estate Level Market

Properties priced at $5 million and above, especially those on the lake are experiencing a more balanced market. Many of these buyers are paying cash, driven less by interest rates and more by lifestyle, privacy, and long-term generational value. These homes aren’t just transactions—they’re legacy purchases.

Navigating Your Next Move

While market stats provide valuable insight, they shouldn’t drive your decision. Your unique lifestyle, evolving needs, and family goals deserve to be front and center. Let those priorities lead the way—supported by trusted, hyperlocal real estate expertise.

Thinking about making a move in Tahoe’s summer market? Let’s talk—I’m here to help.
