NORTH LAKE TAHOE | TRUCKEE MARKET UPDATE  

 A Note From Team Tahoe

The late 2024 market shows mixed trends. Sales numbers are similar to last year but remain 20% below historical averages. However, prices continue to rise, with the median surpassing $1.1 million for the first time—a 4% increase year-over-year, nearing 2022’s peak values.
 
Resort areas like Old Greenwood, Lahontan, and Gray’s Crossing are setting price records, with strong sales in the $1–2 million range. Sales above $5 million, however, have dropped by 15%.
 
The market has struggled with low sales volumes for 2.5 years, due to rising interest rates, insurance costs, and political uncertainty. Sellers, benefiting from low-interest loans, are holding firm on prices despite higher inventory. This stability has created opportunities for buyers to act before competition heats up when rates drop.
 
Affluent buyers remain active despite economic concerns. With interest rates expected to ease by year-end and optimism growing in the tech sector, the market could see more movement going into 2025.
 
Sellers: remember, this is still a much better time to be a seller than in 2019 (which seemed like a very healthy market then!).  You can expect a similar amount of time on the market but much higher sales prices.
 
Buyers: remember, this is the most balanced market we have seen in the last three years.
Although the Feds are still raising the rates, this will only happen until inflation is under control.
