Real Estate in Lake Tahoe continues to amaze me. We have an increasing interest from buyers who want to own a home in Lake Tahoe on both sides of the state line. It would be great if we could find a home for everyone looking, but that’s not the case. We have seen an increase of homes on the market but we’re still at a very low inventory of homes for sale. Many are finding a home to purchase by watching my “instant notification system” closely so they can be prepared to make an offer when a good opportunity comes up.In order to accommodate everyone, we have added search tools for the Carson Valley towns of Minden, Gardnerville, Carson City and Reno, Nevada on our website. You can still find a 3 bedroom/2-bathroom home in these areas for under $200,000, something you can’t find in Lake Tahoe. For an investor, the Carson Valley makes sense.
There continues to be more active on the higher end market of homes for sale. In June there were 8 home sales on the Nevada side of South Lake Tahoe. The median selling price was $912,500. In fact, half of the homes sold were over $1,000,000! On the California side, we saw most sales in the price ranges under $435,000(42).
See my article below on a new feature I added to my website. I think you’ll find it helpful in understanding all of the Lake Tahoe neighborhoods.

Lake Tahoe Neighborhoods
We continue to update our neighborhood pages and information in order to give our readers and home buyers the information they need about each area. As mentioned last month, we created video reviews on each neighborhood and we are now highlighting neighborhoods in my weekly blogs. This gives you better insight into the area with information and sales figures. We’ve also added a “Lake Tahoe Buyer’s Guide” that can be viewed and printed.
You can view them in two places: neighborhood description page and neighborhood video page.
