How Many Homes Sold in Tahoe Donner in 2011? answer: 212 as of 1/1/2012
While surpassing all other communities in Truckee for the number of single family homes sold in 2011, Tahoe Donner is still experiencing a challenging market. Single family home sales in 2011 were down 43.76% when compared with sales in the booming market of 2004. Even more, sales were down another 5% from last year (2010).
What Price Category is Hottest in Tahoe Donner? answer: under $500K
In 2011, 87% of all the single family homes that sold in Tahoe Donner sold for under $750K. Homeowners with listings in this competitive and sensitive price range have had to accommodate and transition with this challenging segment of the market. Buyers have been “shoppers” with no hesitations that they are “looking for a deal” and sellers have to had to make price drops to remain competitive with newer listings at lower prices. Very simply, a new listing priced at market value was seemingly overpriced a few weeks later. The lowest priced home sale in Tahoe Donner was $230K while the high end of the market topped out at $1.2 million.
What was the Median Sales Price in Tahoe Donner in 2011? answer: $500K

Median sale price tags are continuing to inch toward lower numbers. Since the “top of the market” in 2005, at a median sale price of $785K, median sale prices have decreased 36% to a median sales price of $500K. Further, the median sale price tags for 2011 are 15% lower than the “low benchmark” of 2004 ($589K) and 2011 median sale prices are down 4% from last year ($520K). It is important to understand that most buyers do alot of research. These days, with access to Zillow, Trulia, etc. buyers are studying the market, and the competition, to determine what a listing is worth to them. For the typical Tahoe Donner home, over pricing means your listing will sit on the market. You may get a low-ball offer or you may get no attention at all. If you have a unique home, even greater care must be taken to assure the right listing price. When we are asked to give a listing presentation we do not come with a price in hand. We meet with you, evaluate your house paying attention to the pluses and minuses and then we go back to our office and carefully look at comps. We study the “recent solds”, pending listings as well as what’s currently on the market. We create a plan for a seller and then recommend a price that we know is appropriate.
Are there alot of Short Sales and Foreclosures in Tahoe Donner? answer: No!

There are some short sales and foreclosure sales in Tahoe Donner but probably not as many as you think! 84% of the single family home sales in Tahoe Donner were “standard” sales, 9% were short sales and 7% were foreclosure sales.
