Posted on by Liza Muhl

Real Estate Market and Trends

The Lake Tahoe luxury market experienced significant growth in 2024, highlighted by record-breaking sales and strong demand. A landmark transaction set a new benchmark for the Tahoe Basin, reflecting the appeal of the region’s high-end properties. While some areas saw substantial increases in activity, others faced slight declines, all underscored by a persistent inventory shortage driving prices upward. Despite these challenges, property values remain stable, supported by sustained buyer interest.

What could be more perfect than a town on the shores of Lake Tahoe? The majority of condos and homes here are either on the North Shore or the West Shore of Lake Tahoe separated by the “Y” intersection of Highways 28 and 89 in Tahoe City making it the hub many communities in both directions. Both areas have fantastic benefits – the West Shore tends to have a slower pace and miles of trails and the North Shore tends to be sunnier and has spectacular beaches. The areas around Tahoe City have offerings like classic old Tahoe condos and homes, new mountain modern single-family homes and luxury enclaves with unparalleled amenities and private beaches. So, whether you’re looking for a private beach and pier, a pool for the kiddos, a classic Tahoe cabin or a small condominium to use as a basecamp, Tahoe City has you covered.

Tahoe Swiss Village is a family-friendly community built as “an Alpine community in the Swiss tradition” and is located on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. The 80-property community offers a variety of property types and includes access to their private lakefront beach area. The developer’s Swiss vision included streets named after famous mountain passes in the Swiss Alps like Simplon, Furka and Grimsel. Both Homewood and Sunnyside are nearby for dining and services. In the summer, be sure to catch a sunset from Sunnyside’s gorgeous outdoor seating or, better yet, from Tahoe Swiss Village’s private beach.

Q3 2024 Market Report from The Q Group

Posted on by Liza Muhl

Market Spurs Buyer Opportunities Ahead

In the first three quarters of 2024, all micro-regions saw an increase in the number of single-family homes sold year over year. However, while the slight uptick of homes sold is promising, the overall sales volume sits at around half the number of homes sold in the 2020 peak, and well below the average number of homes sold in the past decade. Lower sales volume is partially driven by overall inventory being down from the peak sales volume years.

In the Tahoe Sierra MLS, supply is down 33% from 2019. Median price remains robust, with Truckee reaching an all-time high ($1.3M) and both Incline Village & Crystal Bay, and the Tahoe Sierra MLS matching their 2022 record highs ($2.5M and $1.25M respectively). Lakefront activity has been notable, with sales volume increasing 67% year over year. Median price of lakefront sales stands at $8.2M. The high lakefront sale was 859 Lakeshore in Incline Village, NV for $47.5M.

Now, as we head into the fourth quarter, where the season change typically slows down Lake Tahoe real estate, sellers become more motivated and buyers who have waited may find their opportunity to pounce. As we transition into 2025, the uncertainty surrounding the election will be behind us, and the anticipated decline in interest rates is expected to boost sales activity, driving prices even higher. If you are a buyer and have a property in your sights, make a move now for the best deal.

The Q Take

The year-over-year rise in home sales is positive, but overall volume remains well below peak levels, largely due to reduced inventory. Strong median prices in Truckee, Incline Village, and lakefront areas show market resilience. As we approach the slower fourth quarter, motivated sellers could offer good opportunities. With potential rate cuts and post-election clarity expected in 2025, buyers should act now to secure the best deals before prices rise further.
