From Everyone at Deb Howard & Co, We Sincerely Hope 2019 is Off To A Fabulous Start!
 
As our dear friends and valued clients, Deb Howard & Co., “Lake Tahoe’s Real Estate Resource” with our team of specialists, we are ever more committed to providing stellar customer service along with our up-to-date, relevant real estate analysis, enabling us to navigate the everchanging markets on your behalf. As we enter new waters of 2019, we write to share our Lake Tahoe real estate forecast.
 
Good news – 2019 should be a year of stabilization in our South Shore Lake Tahoe real estate markets with slow and steady forward movement, both in sales at 2% – 3.5% and pricing projected at 3%- 3.5% appreciation as forecast by National Association of Realtors and California Associations of Realtors. Since the bottom of the market in 2012, we have seen double digit uptick in pricing (year over year) but a decline in sales due to the pricing increase which presented affordability issues. The good news – US underlying economic fundamentals are forecast to be stable to good: GDP at just under 2.5%, unemployment decreasing to 4% and interest rates projected to hover in the 5%+ range, all of which contribute to consumer confidence uptick!
Lake Tahoe and “resort & second home” real estate markets have enjoyed the spotlight historically for the following reasons, all of which are fueling stabilized values and driving a new infusion of qualified home buyers, investors and vacation lifestyle buyers:
  • Value pricing coupled with fair interest rates
  • Diversification of portfolio toward tangible investment
  • Quality of life and life style desires
  • Attractive investment property opportunities with ROI
  • Revitalized Resort Community with four seasons to enjoy
Whether buying or selling, your timing could be perfect as this market has compelling offerings! Contact us for a complimentary market analysis of your property value or go to our website www.realtordeb.com to see all Tahoe area properties that are currently for sale, view our current trend and forecast newsletter, and meet our team. Of course please email, text, call or visit our offices in the South Shore, our CA office is located across from the all new Whole Foods of Lake Tahoe.
 
Thank you again for the opportunity to work with you and we wish you and yours a wonderful New Year full of good health, happiness and goodwill.
