Truckee Homes Vs. Tahoe City Homes

Two mountain communities, two different stories.

Both Truckee and Tahoe City offer all the best of mountain living–easy access to skiing, hiking, water sports, dining, and shopping.  When you take a look at the history of homes prices and inventory, the trends tell two very different stories.

Let’s take a look at Truckee first.  In the past three years, Truckee home prices have dropped from a median price of $750,000 to a median price around $380,000.  The biggest reason for this drop is the fallout from the overheated housing market of the mid-2000s.  When prices spike to artificial highs, they have a tendency to drop.  We never know where “the bottom” of the market WAS until the market starts to climb at a steady pace again.  Given the current economic climate and the millions of foreclosures hiding in the shadows, we probably haven’t hit the bottom yet.

The good news is that prices are unlikely to significantly drop from here.  Will they continue to decline? Probably.  Looking at the price trend for the past three years shows a downward trend, even though there has been a recent uptick in prices across the board.  When you combine the recent price uptick with the recent decrease in inventory, those signs point to positive changes in the Truckee housing market.

In contrast to the Truckee market is Tahoe City.  The lakefront community has experienced more volatility than the Truckee housing market, which is not a surprise.  Over the past three years, the median price in Tahoe City has dropped from about $1,000,000, to today’s median price around $700,000.  A 30% decrease over three years is significantly less than the 50% drop Truckee homes experienced.

The home inventory for sale in Tahoe City demonstrates an interesting trend.  Not only are prices more volatile in Tahoe City, but the inventory levels fluctuate substantially.  Three years ago, there were roughly 100 Tahoe City homes on the market.  Today, there are roughly 85 Tahoe City homes for sale.  By itself, those numbers aren’t very interesting.  The interesting part is the seasonal trend in the inventory.  The three peaks in inventory for the past three years were 128 homes for sale (’09), 102 homes for sale (’10) and 127 homes for sale (’11).  The low points in inventory were 83 homes, 52 homes, and 54 homes.  Those are some wide swings in inventory and it’s easy to see a seasonal pattern when you look at the orange line on the graph.

So what does this mean for you?  There are several conclusions you can make from this data.  First, prices and inventory levels have an inverse relationship in both Truckee and Tahoe City.  This is economics 101 in action.  Secondly, there are some great buying opportunities in both Truckee and Tahoe City right now.  The numbers speak for themselves.  And lastly, assuming the seasonal price and inventory trends repeat themselves this year, you should move quickly if you want to take advantage of the low prices and high inventory.  Prices are increasing and inventory is decreasing, which means the best deals of the year are the ones you can find right now.

Tahoe Ski Report | Where’s The Snow?

Tahoe Ski ReportA desperately needed snow storm this weekend brought a sigh of relief to the ski community in and around Tahoe, but the snow pack has a long way to go to catch up with the average snow pack for this time of year. Even with five to seven feet falling at some resorts, there’s still quite a bit of catching-up to do.

None of the ski resorts are able to operate at full capacity due to the exceptionally dry December and early January.  Even with the ambitious effort from the man made snow machines, it still isn’t enough.  This is a stark contrast to the 2010-2011 ski season, which saw double the usual snowfall, which allowed the resorts to stay open until late in the spring.

The National Weather Service indicates that it might be some time before the next significant storm brings another load of snow to the region.  The weather forecast for the next week shows clear, sunny skies and high temperatures in the 40s and 50s.  In the meantime, skiers, snowboarders, and the resorts are celebrating and enjoying the new snowfall as much as they can.

Here are the current base depth levels, according to OnTheSnow:

Alpine Meadows – 40 inches

Boreal – 18-24 inches

Diamond Peak – 50-60 inches

Heavenly – 25-35 inches

Homewood – 18-27 inches

Kirkwood – 25-28 inches

Mt. Rose – 38-48 inches

Northstar – 18-36 inches

Sierra at Tahoe – 16-50 inches

Soda Springs – 24-30 inches

Squaw Valley – 36 inches

Sugar Bowl – 30-45 inches

Tahoe Donner – 20-24 inches

Donner Ski Ranch – Closed

All of the open resorts were able to open more terrain, which is a welcome change from the reliance on man made snow. In addition being closed on weekdays and having limited runs open, at least on resort was offering an incentive to skiers and snowboarders in the form of guaranteed satisfaction.  Kirkwood offered a free ticket for another visit to their resort if a skier or snowboarder wasn’t satisfied with the experience.  They were hearing complaints about the snow conditions, but many of those complaints were coming from people who hadn’t visited Kirkwood yet this season.  It is not known how many visitors cashed-in on the free ticket offer.

Donner Lake Homes

It sits about 12 miles northwest of one of the best known lakes and gambling areas and a name most homeowners and visitors immediately recognize. Lake Tahoe is the big name and Donner Lake is sometimes thought of as the little sister. It sits on the California side where you can’t gamble, and that’s okay with those in the know.  Donner Lake homes are some of the most prized pieces of real estate in the area.

Donner Lake is a freshwater lake located on the outskirts of Truckee, California.  It is sandwiched between the Union Pacific Railroad tracks that follow the route of the original transcontinental railroad, with Interstate 80 to the north.

For those who have a long memory (and there are many living in Truckee who do), Donner pass was named after the Donner Party, which was a group of 87 pioneer Americans who had set out in a wagon train from Missouri heading west for gold and better times. In 1847, they were suddenly caught in a monolithic snow storm in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Some were lucky enough to find shelter in several cabins constructed two years earlier at Truckee Lake, which was the original name of Donner Lake.

Camping, recreation, and fishing are abundant around Donner Lake, and if you enjoy fishing, word has it from the locals that the lake holds some of the biggest trout in the state; some they say are as large as a kayak oar. Many Donner Lake homes surround the city of Truckee with easy access to the lake. If you’re looking for gold, we can’t help. But if you’re interested in affordable real estate and the opportunity for choice four season recreation, Donner Lake has it. Most homes in the Donner Lake area are single family homes, with many of them used primarily as second homes. All of the Donner Lake homes are within walking distance to the water.

Two new subdivisions, Wolfe Estates and Donner Lake Woods, make it easy to enjoy picnicking, hiking, rock climbing, fishing or just the chance to boat around and refresh your memory of the beauty that is Donner Lake. Everything a homeowner could require is either around the corner or just 10 minutes away. A Donner Lake real estate purchase can offer a great lifestyle change.
