Year over year we are reporting a 17% increase in median home prices in the Lake Tahoe, So. Shore market. However, month over month we are tracking a changing scenario with predictive values of 5-8% annual appreciation for the calendar year of 2022 based on the sales data leading to this week’s stats and eblast.
This is mirrored in the median home prices which have been tracking up at meteor rates until this past month. However, our median price for homes sold, having recently broken the $700,000 price point for the first time ever. More to follow as we track the continued strong but ever-changing market.
The Absorption rate has continued to settle in and around that of approx. .97% month of inventory. One month of inventory has become a bit of a standard for these past many months. This however is far below that of our market history and which our association has been tracking for over two decades. As Spring approaches and the holidays are behind us, the indicators are showing buyer demand appears to be staying steady and strong with our traditional seasonal trends. The snowstorms and amazing conditions for the recreational winter sports enthusiasts are fueling the desirability of owning a Tahoe home.
Both Buyers and Sellers and are back to negotiating, however with less than one month of active listing inventory on the market, the sellers’ market is still alive and well.
The Feds have signaled that while we are at historically low interest rates, that we will likely continue to see a steady rise in interest rates through the foreseeable end of year. This (interest rates) along with low but steady home inventory, will continue to fuel home prices. Add the stabilizing and seasonally tempered home prices, the big picture for and active market bodes well as we lean into the next quarter.
While in the rear-view mirror, the traumatic events of the Caldor Fire, pandemic driven tourism surges, snow-apocalypse that brought a stronger than ever committed community. This propensity to withstand and grow stronger in the face of adverse conditions, will aid the Tahoe community and others well beyond, as we deal with the ever-changing landscape of most recent global challenges in Ukraine. We stand steady and strong with our hearts and minds in our united support for the people and the country of Ukraine. This guides us to a steady return to a resilient “Tahoe Strong” community, and what can only be viewed as a robust winter real-estate market.
