Greetings - I have had the pleasure of spending a majority of the last 11 years working in the Gray’s Crossing community helping open the facilities as the golf professional and selling real estate to buyers who seek the mountain lifestyle. I thought it would be fun to look back and see how far this community has come since Jeff Brown, General Manager of Tahoe Mountain Realty spoke of a [...]
Greetings, The Tahoe-Truckee regional real estate market provided perhaps its healthiest year in 2017. A record number of transactions led to over $1.5 billion of total sales volume for the first time ever. This successful run was complimented by steady, though not excessive appreciation. 1763 residential transactions eclipsed 2016 by 7% as families elected to make an investment in a mountain lifestyle at record volume. Prices appreciated by a robust [...]
Greetings - The temperatures are cold and have been perfect at night for snow making to keep the skiers and snowboarders happy. The groomed skiing has actually exceeded expectations at Northstar and the Village is definitely putting out the holiday vibe. There are plenty of fun activities to enjoy with family and friends over the holidays. On December 24th, you can have breakfast with Santa from 8-10am at TC’s Pub [...]
Greetings - As the end of a record year for real estate transactions in the Tahoe-Truckee region draws near, the market is showing no signs of fatigue. November tallied over 170 residential transactions totaling over $135 million, improvements of nearly 12% and 30% respectively over the same period in 2016. Year-to-date nearly 1600 residential properties have changed hands totaling just under $1.4 billion. Obvious factors driving this remarkable run include [...]
Greetings - We have had a few wet storms that have provided some high elevation snow and the night time temperatures are cold enough for the ski areas to go full force with snowmaking. I have already skied a few days with my boys at Squaw Valley and had one day in the backcountry at Mt. Rose. We look forward to Northstar hopefully opening tomorrow if the snow making goes [...]
Greetings – We have reached the final few weeks of golf for many of the areas courses and it is set up to be a great end to the season with beautiful weather in the forecast. Gray’s Crossing will be hosting $95 green fees with an 11 am shotgun start from October 16th to the closing day of October 22nd. On closing day golfers green fees cover an on course [...]
Greetings – September 2017 was impressive for both quality and quantity of transactions delivered in the Tahoe Truckee region. September is typically the peak of real estate closings in any given year and the last 30 days supported this with vigor. The market delivered the first ever back-to-back months with over 200 residential closings as well as the first month to ever crest $200,000,000 in sales volume. The average sales [...]
Greetings – From snow last week to 70 degrees, we are currently enjoying the beauty of Truckee/Tahoe in the magical fall season. With close to 40 degree temperature swings between night and day, it is the perfect weather for golfing, hiking, and biking during the day and enjoying the fire pit and S’mores during the cold crisp evenings. This weather is looking perfect for the Spartan Wold Championship Weekend taking [...]
Greetings - The first dusting of snow has graced the top of the Peaks up at Mt Rose Ski Tahoe and the crisp evenings and mild days has everyone talking about the upcoming winter. I went into my local ski shop at The BackCountry just to say hi and see the new skis on the wall to get excited about the upcoming ski season. I of course had to grab [...]
Greetings – The Tahoe-Truckee real estate market kicked its year-long malaise during the month of August by posting nearly 200 residential transactions; easily the strongest month of 2017 and the second largest ever for the region by transaction volume. Having trailed the preceding year by 3% - 8%, 2017 appeared to be showing signs for a regional slowdown after a strong 6 years of steady climbing. Instead, volume leapt to [...]
