Greetings, There is not much that compares with celebrating the holidays with family and friends in Tahoe…especially when the forecast calls for daily snow during the entire Christmas week. It has been so refreshing to see the return of our amazing winters and to enjoy the abundance of outdoor recreation that snow brings. Just this week I took my wife backcountry skiing at Incline Peak on the East Side of [...]
Activities: After a day well spent on the slopes at Northstar, join us for the annual Tahoe Mountain Realty and Tahoe Mountain Resorts Foundation Holiday Party in the Village at Northstar. We welcome you to celebrate with us as we gather together fellow Northstar lovers to connect over stories of time well spent on the mountain. Hors d’oeuvres will be served as well as modern holiday cocktails from renowned Bay [...]
Greetings - Activities: I find myself often saying, “this is my favorite time of the year”, or “my favorite activity to do in Tahoe”. This past Tuesday was another one with my sons 4th Birthday and the annual expedition to the woods to find the perfect Christmas Tree. There are many areas close to home in Truckee to find a tree, but of course I wanted to make an adventure [...]
Greetings - It has been an exciting week as my soon to be four year old is back on skis and the one year old skied for the first time. I could not think of anything I would rather be doing than skiing with my sons and family and we are so lucky to have good conditions this early. I take my young boys to Squaw Valley as well as [...]
Greetings - My three year old son is very excited as we are going skiing this Saturday! The local ski areas are opening ahead of schedule and with the natural snowfall and cold temps we should be treated to some good corduroy on fresh groomers. It is so much fun to play with the little ones in the snow and watch them discover. Below is a quick update on the [...]
Greetings - As the first snow of the season falls, the Tahoe Truckee community is abuzz with anticipation of the winter to come. In many ways, this early November accumulation already exceeds that of last winter and has buoyed spirits at a critical moment heading into winter. The Tahoe real estate market seems equally primed with exciting resort properties coming online to meet this renewed demand. Recent sales activity has [...]
REAL ESTATE: When showing homes to clients, I realize it can be difficult for some to envision their style of furnishings in the space to make the house fit their taste and lifestyle. Many times we find a house in the perfect setting, but it needs to be tweaked a bit to update it and make it your own. I have a good friend and colleague who can help you [...]
Greetings - As I am sitting in Coffee Bar this morning writing my weekly update I can’t help but be proud of the town Truckee has become. As friendly faces walk through the door we share greetings and of course talk about the beautiful fall weather, mountain biking, and hopes of a big upcoming winter. It makes me proud to be a resident in this tight knit community and I [...]
MARKET: Greetings - After a series of ordinary months, the Tahoe-Truckee region saw the strongest performance of 2015 in September. Total sales volume of $118,376,000 is an 18% increase over September, 2014 despite coming via 5% fewer transactions. This would indicate a substantial jump in average price from $706,989 in 2014 to $870,412 this month. The primary drivers of this surge at the upper reaches of the market were five [...]
MARKET: The last few weeks have seen 32 properties sold and another 75 added to the MLS for the Tahoe Truckee area. All signs point to a strong fall selling season and I will report back on September numbers in the next week. I wanted to take a moment and look at the community of Gray’s Crossing as it continues to grow and thrive in our market. Year to date [...]
