Market Insights Around Lake Tahoe: Q1 2025

Posted on by Liza Muhl

Lake Tahoe Real Estate: A Steady Favorite in an Unsteady World

Navigating through tariffs, stock market fluctuations, and our ever-changing world, one thing remains constant: people love Lake Tahoe.  It is as beautiful as it is simple — and that’s why we continue to believe in the lasting strength of our local real estate market.

The Chase International 2025 Q1 Market Reports are in, and they offer a revealing snapshot of buyer behavior and property performance across the Lake Tahoe basin. Here’s a look at what’s happening in Incline Village, the West Shore, and the North Shore.

Incline Village: Luxury Still Leads

In Q1 2025, Incline Village saw 19 units sold — a significant drop from 30 in Q1 2024, yet the market’s luxury strength remains notable.

  • Median Price: $1,850,000

  • Average Price: $1,959,842

  • Homes Over $1M: 15

  • Homes Under $1M: 4

Despite a -37% decline in units sold, the market held strong with luxury demand. Median prices were down slightly from last year, but with 100% more homes sold under $1M (4 this year vs. 2 in 2024), there’s a signal that opportunity exists at every level of the market.

West Shore: A Rise in Value

The West Shore had 16 units sold in Q1 2025. While this reflects a small decline from last year (19 units in Q1 2024), property values are rising fast.

  • Median Price: $1,362,827 (+19%)

  • Average Price: $3,127,681 (+97%)

Luxury homes dominated the market with 9 of the 16 sales over $1M, indicating a strong preference for waterfront and exclusive West Shore living. This area is clearly gaining traction as a premium destination within Tahoe.

North Shore: Momentum Building

The North Shore showed encouraging signs with 18 units sold, up from 15 in Q1 2024 (+20%).

  • Median Price: $1,397,500 (+27%)

  • Average Price: $2,034,166 (+73%)

  • Homes Over $1M: 14

  • Homes Under $1M: 4

The North Shore’s appeal continues to grow, especially among luxury buyers. With a jump in both median and average price, this area reflects a market that’s not just holding steady — it’s accelerating.

Why It Matters

Across all three areas, one theme is clear: buyers continue to choose Lake Tahoe for its beauty, lifestyle, and investment potential. While unit volume may fluctuate with broader economic forces, home values and high-end interest remain strong.

Q1 2025 Sales Snapshot (All Areas):

✅ Incline Village: 19 units sold
✅ North Shore: 18 units sold
✅ West Shore: 16 units sold
✅ Truckee: 93 units sold
✅ Tahoe Donner: 33 units sold

Whether you’re a potential buyer, seller, or investor, the Chase International market reports offer the insights you need to stay ahead. Read the full Q1 2025 Market Stats here.

Summer’s Ultimate Playground

Posted on by Liza Muhl

Bring on the Summer fun! Lake Tahoe is often described as the Jewel of the Sierra Nevada, and it’s also the ultimate playground for summer. The stunning natural beauty, outdoor activities, ideal climate, and vibrant community provides a unique lifestyle offering a fulfilling and enriching environment.

The lake’s vibrant cobalt blue and crystal clear waters is a scenic wonder. With the favorable winter season we received through early spring, we were treated with higher-than-average water level. As of June 2024, the lake’s elevation is near the maximum legal limit of 6,229.1 feet​ per the USGS Water Data. Lake Tahoe remains a cherished natural wonder. It’s no surprise our beautiful lake is one of the most recognizable Alpine lakes.
