After a strong start to the year with the light winter conditions, it would appear the heavier winter weather of March did have an effect. With 80 total sales in April we were actually 4 sales behind last year. Last year sales, because of the huge winter were 22 fewer then 2016 or almost 25%. Now it might not all be weather related either. Inventory continues to struggle which makes finding the Continue Reading

Inventory Emergency Continues!
How bad is it? Tahoe Donner is down by 40%, greater Truckee by 25%, Tahoe Basin by 16% and Squaw/Alpine by 22%.

Less Snow Does Not Mean Less Sales
The early signs of a dry winter may be starting to surface. Likely not in the way you think. At the end of February 2017 we had huge amounts of snow everywhere and it was a struggle to just get around let alone sell real estate. The thing to recognize is that prior to the second week of January 2017 when snowmageddon started the year had actually been fairly dry. That is actually a good thing for Continue Reading

January sales saw a very modest 10% increase over last Continue Reading
