3600 North Lake blvd. #171 sold for $1,100,000 in less than 30 days.
The increase in sales we believe to have a direct correlation to the all time low interest rates for existing home purchases in the United States. In addition, another contributing factor to sales is the supply and demand ratios which and always will exist in the Lake Tahoe area (limited amount of resale properties with a larger demand). As most of us are aware, the geography in the Lake Tahoe basin is limited. There are a limited number of properties and even more limited number of real estate opportunities such as single-family homes, condo’s and vacant lots. Yet, Tahoe will always be in high demand because of its obvious beauty and location. Along with close proximity to major metropolitan areas such as the San Francisco Bay area. Due to these factors, property desirability and value will always create an investment opportunity for both the buyer and sellers.
