Due to relatively high mortgage rates, buyers entering the market are few. Likewise, low inventory and a reduced number of listings indicate sellers’ reluctance to sell.

Yes, inventory is limited. But chances are, you're only looking to buy one home. If you find it, you're set. So keep doing what you've been doing -- continue to keep an eye on listings and get ready to pounce when your real estate agent tells you about a home that's hit the market. At the same time, keep crunching the numbers to make sure you don't end up with a home you can't comfortably afford. 

Meanwhile, if you're interested in selling your home, you're in a good spot. Due to limited inventory, properties in our region are experiencing shorter time on the market and are consistently selling for approximately 98% of their asking price on average. 

In South Lake Tahoe, the median sales price has seen a notable increase compared to October 2022. However, the number of homes sold in October 2023 has decreased by 20% compared to the previous year. On a positive note, the number of new listings entering the market in October 2023 has surged by 31% compared to the previous year, and the inventory level has risen by 12% when compared to 2022."
