Despite high mortgage rates, the market remains as competitive as ever thanks to strong demand coupled with tight inventory supply, due, in part, to those who purchased homes in recent years at record-low interest rates staying put. These and other factors form a perfect affordability crisis storm that continues to sideline many aspiring homeowners.

In South Lake Tahoe the median sales price went up this month, compared to the month of August of 2022. The amount of homes sold in August is up 19% compared to a year ago. The amount of new listings coming up on the market in August of 2023 was up 44% compared to the previous year and inventory level is now around the same level, compared to 2022.
