South Lake Tahoe Monthly Market Update, April 2020
As it has been reported last month, home sales are still trending at a healthy pace, and home values have been holding steady due to a lack of inventory. We are currently experiencing a seller's market but it should start shifting to a buyer's market in the next few months, as COVID restrictions starts to get loose and as inventory starts to grow.
Usually, the Spring months bring a surge of listings to the market. However, this month we have seen the amount of new listings decrease by 57% compared to the amount of new listings that entered the market in April 2019. It seems like sellers are still hesitant to put their home on the market however most buyers are not putting their search on hold. We have seen an increasing demand from buyers and homes have been going under contract on a daily basis. If you're a homeowner thinking about selling your property in 2020, you should try to take advantage of this low inventory and not wait until Summer when inventory starts to increase.
Interest rates are currently low. Hopefully they will continue to look attractive throughout the year, so it will help to stimulate the housing market.
