Q3 2023 Lake Tahoe Real Estate Market Update

Lake Tahoe Real Estate Market Update

In the first three quarters of 2023, all micro-regions with the exception of lakefronts continued to show a deep decline in the number of single-family homes sold. In fact, sales volume this year has hit decade lows. Median price has been far less impacted and, in all micro-regions, sits above pricing in 2021. The supply of available homes for sale remains at about half of pre-covid levels, which at least partially explains the retention of values. With a late start to summer, after our historic winter, lakefront sales began to rebound in Q3 but still hover around the lows we saw in 2009, yet median price reached a record high. In Incline Village & Crystal Bay, 14% of single-family homes sold above $5 million.

The ongoing discrepancy between the dramatic dip in sales volume compared to the minor movement in median price reminds us that post-covid pricing may be the new normal, despite slow sales. A burst in September real estate activity balanced the sluggish start to the season and is signaling a recovery of unit sales. Now, all eyes are on Q4 as we anticipate this fall momentum will bring a strong finish to the season, equalizing Q1.

  • Single-family homes sold decreased 15% year over year, hitting a 14-year low.
  • Median price increased 4% year over year.
  • Average Days on Market was 44 days. In 2021, DOM was 37. In 2019, DOM was 77.
  • 32 of 178 homes (18%) sold for over $2 million. 8 homes (4%) sold above $5 million.
  • Single-family homes sold decreased 14% year over year, hitting a 12-year low.
  • Median price decreased 10% year over year.
  • Average Days on Market was 119 days. In 2021, DOM was 86. In 2019, DOM was 166.
  • 56 of 99 homes (57%) sold for over $2 million. 14 homes (14%) sold above $5 million.
  • Single-family homes sold decreased 25% year over year, hitting a 14-year low.
  • Median price decreased 4% year over year.
  • Average Days on Market was 44 days. In 2021, DOM was 27. In 2019, DOM was 66.
  • 114 of 531 homes (21%) sold for over $2 million. 36 homes (7%) sold above $5 million.

Every home, and every sale, has a story. When I saw this listing hit the market at 8pm, I immediately reached out to my past client who owned the Chipmunk condo nearby that we recently sold, having no idea her and her family were in a position to upgrade.

The odds were against us being that our offer was contingent on another property selling and knowing that this home would likely garner significant interest and offers very quickly, but we decided to give it all we had regardless.

This came down to strong relationships and mutual trust with other realtors in your market.  And just like that, we were in escrow. Congratulations to my friend as we celebrate the successful close of this beauty.

250 Village Boulevard, Incline Village, Nevada

Industrial Building | 10,152 SF

Sale Price $4,000,000.00

Located in the center of town, this industrial building in Incline Village checked off all the marks for the new owners who wanted to find commercial space. Lake Tahoe, generally speaking, commands high prices for real estate because there simply just isn’t any more space for new homes or buildings. Because of this and the complicated intricacies of the TRPA, commercial or warehouse space is even harder to find. With much delight, the buyers knew they found the right property and sealed the deal. Congratulations!
