What, Two Good National Real Estate News Reports in a Row?
February 3rd, 2009 categories: For Buyers, For Sellers, Lake Tahoe Real Estate, Market Performance Updates, National real estate news
Quick, whoever heard of such a thing… the Sky must be Falling.
Astounding as it may seem, we’ve actually had some good, national real estate news jump out and bite us unexpectedly in the last few days. Ok, we admit, “good” news might be a stretch to some, but it’s certainly better than what its been in many a day.

The $300,000 South Lake Tahoe, CA Home, Then and Now.
January 25th, 2009 categories: For Buyers, For Sellers, Lake Tahoe Real Estate, Market Performance Updates, Median Sold Price Report, National real estate news, Sales Reports, South Lake Tahoe Statistics, South Lake Tahoe, CA
Does one get More for their Money Now than Before, and if so, How Much?
This is a study to determine if one can get more home for their money in South Lake Tahoe today than before. If so, the next important question is how much more, and is it quantifiable?
To best do this we’ll focus on the two most objective factors available to look at the value of a home, which is its size and price per square foot. Lets also look at other more subjective factors such as condition, age and the availability of a newer home.

Some Things We Hear when we Report South Lake Tahoe Market Conditions, and Why.
January 21st, 2009 categories: For Buyers, For Sellers, Lake Tahoe Real Estate, Market Performance Updates, Median Sold Price Report, South Lake Tahoe Statistics, South Lake Tahoe, CA
Comments that make us think: what if the market has already declined more than the numbers tell us?
What is that old saying about statistics? We’ve heard it came from Vin Scully, the famous announcer and voice of the Brooklyn and then later Los Angeles Dodgers since 1950.
Maybe too Vin heard it from somebody else, the originator of the adage perhaps. Nonetheless, in this case it’s what was said, rather than who said it first that’s important.
We’re sure many of you have heard it, but the old adage about statistics is this: “There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.”

Final Thoughts on the Effect of Foreclosed Home Sales on the 2008 South Lake Tahoe Real Estate Market.
January 13th, 2009 categories: For Buyers, For Sellers, Foreclosures, Lake Tahoe Real Estate, Sales Reports, South Lake Tahoe Statistics, South Lake Tahoe, CA
A Downward Pull, for sure, but Foreclosures Can Give a False Read of South Lake Tahoe Home Values.
This will finish our series of articles on South Lake Tahoe 2008 foreclosed home sales. First lets look at the bottom line on the effect of home foreclosures, then we’ll detail the difference foreclosures makes on market value, followed by a summary effect of foreclosures, and we’ll finish with the actual statistics charts for all data involved.
The Bottom Line:
- Foreclosure sales are a separate market within the South Lake Tahoe, CA real estate market.
- One must remove foreclosure sales to understand current South Lake Tahoe, CA home values.
- Of the total 15% that South Lake Tahoe home values have declined since the market high in 2005, a third of that is attributable to the downward effect of 2008 foreclosure sales alone.
Please be sure to review the Summary Effect of Foreclosures below.

About Lists of South Lake Tahoe Homes in Foreclosure
January 8th, 2009 categories: For Buyers, For Sellers, Foreclosures, Lake Tahoe Real Estate, South Lake Tahoe Statistics, South Lake Tahoe, CA
We’ve got one, but there’s things you need to know to stay on top of the South Lake Tahoe Foreclosure market.
First, the South Lake Tahoe, CA foreclosure list has never been fully complete, or accurate. It should be, and our multiple listing service (MLS) is just now making the "foreclosure field" on our search software mandatory to address the issue.
The key word here is "mandatory’, which means one can not mount a listing without that field being checked. A great example of why this has become required, rather than "voluntary", is of the 70 foreclosure sales in South Lake Tahoe in 2008, 31 of them can be not be found without having to go through each of South Lake Tahoe’s 354 sales in 2008 by hand. (It takes about 8 hours to thoroughly do so.)

Why South Lake Tahoe Home Values do not decline as much one might think.
January 8th, 2009 categories: For Buyers, For Sellers, Foreclosures, Lake Tahoe Real Estate, South Lake Tahoe Statistics, South Lake Tahoe, CA
South Lake Tahoe is a resort… with limited growth… and fewer foreclosures.
Here at the beginning of a new year, with 2008 real estate data now complete, it makes sense that this is a good time to again explore South Lake Tahoe home values.
Perhaps the most significant new contributing factor that affected South Lake Tahoe home values in 2008 was the emergence of foreclosures as a subset of our market.
In fact foreclosed homes (or REO’s or bank owned properties) constituted 20% of all 2008 South Lake Tahoe single family home sales (70 out of 354 sales).
