It is a good time to buy a South Lake Tahoe house...

It is a good time to buy a house in South Lake Tahoe, CA (Pt 4)

This is the last piece in our four-part series on whether it is a good time to buy a house in South Lake Tahoe in today's real estate market climate.

This is a summary really of the three previous parts in this series– where we have looked in detail at mortgage interest rates, monthly mortgage payments and the $300,000 South Lake Tahoe house over the last decade.

Here are the reasons why South Lake Tahoe market conditions are so favorable to buyers right now:

1. Interest rates are at historic lows (Pt 1, here).

2. Monthly mortgage payments are at least 21% lower than they have been at any time in the last decade (Pt 2, here).

3. The house one buys now is bigger and newer than before. The average South Lake Tahoe house is 82% larger and 14 years newer than what it was during our 2006 market high (Pt 3, here).

The South Lake Tahoe $300,000 House… then and now!

The $300,000 South Lake Tahoe house... then and now!

Is it a good time to buy a house in South Lake Tahoe, CA? (Pt 3)

This is the third of our four-part series on whether it is a good time to buy a house in South Lake Tahoe in today's real estate market climate.

This series is a rather detailed look at some of the key factors in making a buying decision. We'll be looking at interest rates,  mortgage payments, the differences, if any, in the characteristics of a median priced house from 2003 until now, and we'll also look at another way to determine house values.

First, we looked at mortgage interest rates by month and by year for the last decade, here.

Then we looked at monthly mortgage payments based on those interest rates for the last decade, here.

Next, lets look at the $300,000 South Lake Tahoe house then and now. And the outcome of this one is pretty simple: one gets a lot more house, and a nicer one in general… and it costs you less per month for it than at any time in the last decade.

For this study, we looked at all South Lake Tahoe home sales between $300,000 and $349,999 since 2003. (We call this the $300,000 house, but it's more of a price range really, that spread which would involve a $300,000 home loan, or an amount close to it.)

 The $300,000 South Lake Tahoe House Then :

The South Lake Tahoe real estate market high was in 2006.

  • The average size of the $300,000 house in 2006 was 948 Sq. ft..
  • On average, it was 45 years old.

Perhaps the biggest boom year South Lake Tahoe has ever seen was 2004 (814 single family home sales, more that year than ever before).

  • The average size of the $300,000 house in 2004 was 1,280 sq. ft.
  • It was 34 years old.

The fewest number of home sales in any one year in the last decade was in 2008. Only 354 homes sold then.

  • The average size of the $300,000 house in 2008 was 1,251 sq. ft.
  • It was 38 years old.

There has been an increase in South Lake Tahoe housing demand this year. (There are 75 more sales to date this year than last, and we're on a pace to sell 500 or more homes this year– the most home sales per year since 2005.)

  • The average size of the $300,000 house this year is 1,726 sq. ft.
  • It is 31 years old.

 The $300,000 South Lake Tahoe House Now : 

The chart below was used for this study. (There's a link to see it in actual size.) What it reveals about the $300,000 South Lake Tahoe house today is both simple, and encouraging:

Today's $300,000 house compared to years prior:

  • It is 82% bigger than the $300,000 house of 2006 (777 sq. ft. larger).
  • It is 14 years newer (30.3%).
  • It is 35% bigger than the $300,000 house of 2004 (446 sq. ft. larger).
  • It is 3 years newer (only .7%).
  • It is 38% bigger than the $300,000 house of 2008 (475 sq. ft. larger).
  • It is 7 years newer (18.5%).

 The Bottom Line :

There is more to looking at market decline than price alone. You get far more house… for less of a monthly payment than at any time in the last decade. For the foreseeable future, this is expected to continue… until the mortgage interest rates start inching upward… which they eventually will… and always do.

The $300,000 house in today's market is still going to cost $300,000. That house would have cost you a lot more at our market high, about $110,000 more. This is where you find our market decline, and where you will find the increased value all home buyers are looking for… and will get.

Another way of saying what this study reveals is this: if one wants to buy a South Lake Tahoe house for $250,000, it is not going to be a $300,000 house… but it will be larger and perhaps newer than a similarly priced house of yesteryear.

What's cool though, and this is the real benefit to all home buyers who take advantage of these market conditions, is how much less whatever you buy is going to cost per month.

South Lake Tahoe Real Estate Update: Monthly Mortgage Payments… then and now!

October 27th, 2010 categories: For Buyers, For Sellers, Interest Rates, Lake Tahoe NV Statistics, Lake Tahoe Real Estate, National real estate news, South Lake Tahoe Statistics, South Lake Tahoe, CA, Stateline, NV

That house you want costs a lot less now

Is it a good time to buy a house in South Lake Tahoe, CA? (Pt 2)

This is the second of our four-part series on whether it is a good time to buy a house in South Lake Tahoe in today's real estate market climate.

This series is a rather detailed look at some of the key factors in making a buying decision. We'll be looking at interest rates,  mortgage payments, the differences, if any, in the characteristics of a median priced house from 2003 until now, and we'll also look at another way to determine house values.

First, we looked at mortgage interest rates by month and by year for the last decade, here.

Next, lets look at monthly mortgage payments based on those interest rates for the last decade.

For this study, lets look at the monthly mortgage payment for a $300,000 loan. Since this is fairly close to the current median sold price in South Lake Tahoe, ergo the most common price of a South Lake Tahoe house, we thought this number would be as good an example as any for our purposes.

Ten years ago that $300,000 home loan would have cost $2,464 a month.

Five years ago, that same load would have cost $1,800 a month.

In 2007 that $300,000 home loan would have cost $1.974 a month.

Throughout most of this year, that loan would have cost $1,550 a month.

A few days ago, that $300,000 home loan would have cost $1,238 a month.

Today that loan will cost $1,275 a month.

In other words, monthly payments on a $300,000 loan would be $275 a month less, or 21.5% better than it would have been earlier this year…

… and it is $402 a month less, or 31.5% better than it was last year…

… and it would be $699 a month less, or 54.8% better than it would have been in 2007, for example.

The chart below details the monthly mortgage payments for a $300,000 loan since year 2000, but first a positive home buying summary.

 The Bottom Line :

This mortgage payment study, and this four-part series, shows that the current market climate in South Lake Tahoe affords a meaningful home buying opportunity. It is certainly the most advantageous for a home buyer in the last decade. Interest rates alone substantiates this, but there is more, which Pt. 3 in our series will demonstrate.

What we have here, in addition to the near 37% decline in home prices since our market high in 2006, is another way to look at home value decline. Cheaper loans is much part of that, and the next question is does one get more home for less money too?

The cost of a $300,000 loan since year 2000.

South Lake Tahoe Real Estate Update: Mortgage Interest Rates…then and now!

October 26th, 2010 categories: First Time Home Buyers, For Buyers, For Sellers, Interest Rates, Lake Tahoe NV Statistics, Lake Tahoe Real Estate, National real estate news, South Lake Tahoe Statistics, South Lake Tahoe, CA, Stateline, NV

Mortgage Interest Rates since year 2000

Is it a good time to buy a house in South Lake Tahoe, CA? (Pt 1)

This begins a four-part series on whether it is a good time to buy a house in South Lake Tahoe in today's real estate market climate.

This is a rather detailed look at some of the key factors in making a buying decision. We'll be looking at interest rates,  mortgage payments, the differences, if any, in the characteristics of a median priced house from 2003 until now, and we'll also look at another way to determine house values.

First, lets look at mortgage interest rates… then and now.

As you know, mortgage interest rates vary daily. At any given time, the rate also varies by one's credit score. The rates herein are national averages by month for the last decade.

As of Sunday, the average national mortgage rate on a 30-year fixed loan was 4.15%. (As of  Wednesday, Oct. 27, it is between that and 4.25%.) Both are historically low, and is a significant buying opportunity.

The average mortgage interest rate throughout 2010 to date is 5.17, or about a point higher than it is now. It was 5.59 in 2009, and 6.62 in 2008.

During the first five years of the decade when the real estate market was booming, the average annual mortgage interest rates were:

  • 2000: 8.21%
  • 2001: 7.16%
  • 2002: 6.65%
  • 2003: 5.97%
  • 2004: 5.97%
  • 2005: 6%

The chart below indicates national average mortgage interest rates by month and by year since year 2000. (source)

We’ve added something new: South Lake Tahoe Foreclosures and Short Sales

October 22nd, 2010 categories: For Buyers, For Sellers, Foreclosures, Lake Tahoe Real Estate, short sales, South Lake Tahoe, CA, Stateline, NV

South Lake Tahoe foreclosues and short salesImmediate access to all South Lake Tahoe Foreclosures and Short Sales… at a Glance!

We've just added something new to the Lake Tahoe Real Estate Blog. Please find links in our right sidebar under the sub-head "Foreclosures & Short Sales" that will take you to all South Lake Tahoe foreclosures and short sales immediately.

Almost one out of every two South Lake Tahoe home buyers these days is buying a distressed property, which are as you know either a bank owned foreclosure (REO) or a short sale.

At present there are 113 listings of distressed properties on the South Lake Tahoe, CA side of our market. All of them are listed here (this is the same link in our sidebar).

There are 59 distressed property listings to be found on the Stateline, NV side of our market. All of these are listed here (again this is identical to the link in our sidebar).

When you bring up the listings under either of these new these links, be sure to notice if either of these phrases appear: Active/Pending-Loan, Active Pending or Active/Pending-Short Sale. This means that the property is in escrow.

At present, banks are far more willing to accept a short sale than ever before. (Finally they understand they make more money when they do).

We thought these two new links will be helpful, and you might like to have immediate access to all South Lake Tahoe foreclosures and short sales at a glance.

South Lake Tahoe, CA Video Spotlight: Bijou front and center

October 20th, 2010 categories: Bijou, California Neighborhoods, For Buyers, For Sellers, Lake Tahoe NV Statistics, Lake Tahoe Real Estate, South Lake Tahoe Events, South Lake Tahoe, CA, Video Seminar Series

Bijou is one of South Lake Tahoe's oldest, closest-in, and affordable neighborhoods.

This is another of the new video series we're doing on South Lake Tahoe neighborhoods. We think these will become a helpful resource for folks to better see and know about the wonder of our Lake Tahoe lifestyle from afar.

Here's the narrative that's in the video, and we do hope you enjoy:

With about 1,400 homes, Bijou is another one of South Lake Tahoe’s oldest neighborhoods.

Features are wide open meadows, high sierra mountain views, close proximity to the lake, and all things fun about South Lake Tahoe.

Homes range from small, charming entry-level starters, to mid-range primary and vacation homes, to large remodels and some new construction and high end luxury homes as well. 

Bijou's is set amid easy vacation shopping, South Lake Tahoe dining, and we're literally minutes away from awe inspiring South Lake Tahoe's winter recreation and summer time wonders.

Bijou is right in the middle of Lake Tahoe's famed year around entertainment and nightlife attractions.

Bijou comes in a verdant forest setting, and many inspiring views can be found here.

Bijou homes can flank open meadows, the national forest service, and Bijou even has its own public golf course. There are a few homes here that are lakefront properties too.

Part of Bijou is on one of south Lake Tahoe's nicest public beach, and the pier there features among many things a terrific lake-side restaurant.

The Bijou pier seems central to much of Lake Tahoe's summer resort water sports attractions.

Yes, that means jet skis, water paddling, plenty of boat rentals, wonderous parasailing, paddleboat cruises… and walking on water too.

Home prices range from small, older homes in original condition priced at market entry to larger, more luxurious homes much above that. But Think most home prices in the $2's and $3's on average here.

This is the lowest Bijou home sale, and this is the highest home sold in Bijou in the last 4 years.

($120,000 at 3404 Freel Avenue, which sold in 2009)

($1,800,000 at 952 Balbijou, a lakefront home sale also in 2007.)

The figure here, $391750, is the highest annual median sold price in Bijou since 2007. It is certainly lower than that now ($249,000).

Check out "Bijou" on the Lake Tahoe Real Estate blog for current home values, real estate trends and all recent real estate activity.

The South Lake Tahoe Home Buyer: The Two Things We Do for You

October 18th, 2010 categories: Lake Tahoe Real Estate

Comfort is our goal for South Lake Tahoe home buyers.

Information leads to South Lake Tahoe buyer comfort… with a lot of good old fashioned hard work in the mix

There are two fears all home buyers face, whether they are buying in South Lake Tahoe or not. They must be overcome for every home buyer most overcome to be successful.

Usually buyers do not think of these as a fear, and most rarely ever articulate their feelings as such, but all buyer concerns and objections in the home buying process come from either one or both of them.

Lets call them subliminal, something more often felt than discussed. It's more of a back-in-your-mind kind of thing, so lets call them the two key buyer questions that must be answered.

There are specific things we do to answer these questions, and they are comforting and effective, but first things first.

The two questions every buyer has:

How do I make sure I never miss anything? How do I make sure I never miss a thing?
   
How do I make sure I never miss anything? How do I make sure I don't pay too much?

Do these sound familiar? Better yet, do they feel familiar? It has been our experience over much of the last decade that addressing these questions not only leads to a happy, satisfied home buyer, but it makes life-long friends as well.

What we check so you never miss anythingWhat we do to make sure you never miss a thing:

First, we ask all buyers we represent to activate our auto listing notifier (here). 

This provides an instant email every time something comes on the market that meets your criteria.

We are copied on that email so that we see everything you are seeing.

There are two of us, brothers in partnership, and we also immediately notify you about listings we hear about before they come on the market.

This can be most important, and often it leads you to that great deal… on that perfect house… that other buyers will covet… before they ever know about it.

This blog provides you with consistently updated trends and statistics… with every listing in all key South Lake Tahoe neighborhoods all of the time.

There is a link near the top of our right sidebar leading you to new listings that appear on the market everyday. ( For CA , this link leads you to all  single family homes listed in the last 24 hours. In NV, this link leads to every new listing in the last 3-days, including single family homes, townhomes and condominiums.)

 

What we do so you never pay too much.What we do to make sure  you never pay too much:

The first thing we do is provide you with a custom, detailed look of every listing, escrow and home sale in the last 180-days that is relevant to any and all homes you find of interest.

This market detail is the same thing we provide every seller, and it is complete with statistics and facts relating to the median price, average price, original listing price, the reduced price, the differences between all of them, plus the average time on market, price per square foot and square foot size.

We provide 5 major market reports online with statistics on all South Lake Tahoe real estate market trends and conditions. These are updated all of the time, and can be found starting for CA here, and for NV here.

We write about these conditions on this blog all of the time, and we have been so doing since February, 2007.

We are known for our market reports and statistics, and our information appears in five other blogs, and in the local newspaper periodically.

All home buyers may subscribe to our blog so that you never miss any of the constant flow of market trend updates, and specific reports on the neighborhoods you like most.

At present there are some 1,500 plus page views every week on this Lake Tahoe information resource, all getting answers to these two key questions facing all home buyers. We hope you become one more of them.
