We are mailing out our quarterly in-depth market report this week. Please reach out if you want to be included and are not currently on our mailing list.

As you can see from the graph above, we are finally starting to see some rebalancing in the real estate market. Mortgage rates dropped to the lowest point in 3 weeks. This pause should help the housing market rebalance to a more normal pace of home price appreciation. If you’ve been following along for the past weeks, you already know that this is a great thing in the big picture of real estate investing and is best viewed as a shift back in the direction of strength and stability. A majority of the price cuts are among sellers who were getting avaricious based on the bidding wars and exorbitant prices over past 2 years. Price reductions among that cohort are a welcome sight for investors! We want property value growth to be steady and sustainable. There is no need to panic, as scary as the headlines have been over the weeks. This is not the mess we were in in 2007 with the lending debacle–just enough of a return to normalcy to regain balance and stability in the real estate market. As we’ve been discussing in the past months, the word is out in surrounding state–owning property in Lake Tahoe, Nevada is a tax saving, precious commodity! Here’s the numbers from our local market this week:

We had 3 new condos and no new homes come onto the market this week. We currently have 36 active condos ranging from $399,000 to $5,425,000; the median condo price is $837,450. We currently have 46 active homes on the East Shore ranging from $1,088,000 to $64,500,000 with the median price of $2,9,000. Here’s a year to date local update:
