This is one of the hottest markets we've ever had in South Lake Tahoe. Listings are still coming up at a usual pace, however, they are going pending as soon as they hit the market. Therefore, low inventory and high demand are continuing to drive home values up.

We've seen a trend of home buyers wanting to leave the Bay Area and buy a home in Lake Tahoe when some of them realized that they can work from home and live anywhere. Therefore the demand for purchasing homes has been much higher than the previous year and the inventory is not catching up with the demand.

Our inventory is currently 68% lower compared to last year, and we have 117% more homes under contract compared to the same month in 2019. 

If you are a homeowner thinking about selling your home this year, this is a good time to put your home on the market. If you'd like to have an idea of how much your home is currently worth, click here for an instant automatic valuation.
