MARCH NEWS FROM TAHOE TRUCKEE! IN JANUARY, NEW LISTING ACTIVITY

 

March Greetings!

In January, new listing activity started to pick up after the typical annual low hit in December, and the number of new listings was significantly higher than in January 2020. Luxury home sales in January 2021 were up a staggering 223% year-over-year.

Compare the average home sales price this January with January 2020, when the median sales price (inclusive of condos) was $652,500. The rise in value is in direct correlation to the rise in value per square foot. In January 2020, average dollar worth per square foot was $507. Last month it was $647. In fact, 20% of home sales last month sold for $2M+ while last January less than 10% of homes sold for that much. 

Interestingly, the rise in home prices is not deterring buyers. In fact, buying is speeding up. Last January about 20% of listed properties sold within 30 days. This January that percentage was around 45%. This correlates with the average time listings spent on the market – 88 days in January 2020 and 42 days in January 2021! 

Compare this with the amount, or lack thereof, of homes available to buyers. January of 2020 saw an average of just under 600 homes listed. Last month, only ~300 homes were available – that’s half as many! 

Homes are consistently receiving higher offers than ever before and they are flying off the market faster than I’ve ever seen. 

This indicates that the value of your home continues to rise. Buyers are looking at your property, hoping to get a piece of Tahoe mountain living. 

If you’re wondering about the current value of your home, get in touch today. I will give you a home valuation, at no cost. 

Interested in seeing a fraction of Tahoe’s sales first hand?

 

I would like to extend my utmost gratitude to all my sellers and buyers for the trust they put in me, as well as those Real estate agents I have the pleasure of working with!
Thank you!
