Real Estate Market and Trends

View Full Market Report

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.

With the Sierra Boat Company located right in Carnelian Bay, boating is obviously easily accessible for residents. Patton Beach is a great spot for your 4-legged friend to get some lake time.

Record breaking sale! When my clients decided to list their property, we chose a price knowing we were pushing the parameters of every sale within the complex by a substantial margin. Within a week, we had two offers, leaving my clients, the sellers, with multiple options. We are so excited for our sellers who have achieved this huge milestone! Side note, I also sold them this unit in 2017, and they were able to double their money.
