Tahoe Donner Single Family Homes
Number of Homes Sold by Price Category

This chart illustrates:
1. Number of single family homes sold per price category.
Once again, the strongest segment of the market in Tahoe Donner is the $750K and under range with 51% of the sold homes falling in the category under $500K and 41% of the sold homes falling in the price category between $500K to $750K. Only two homes sold over a million dollars and of these homes none sold for over 1.25 million.
In this market sellers are competing for buyers and it is imperative that a home is priced right. It is a constantly changing market and often price adjustments are needed. Buyers are focused on the probability of price declines and sellers think they can wait out the downturn and hope for price increases. We don’t predict the market increasing for three to five years, so the question for sellers is, how much does it cost to hold the house and will that cost be returned with future price increases? If you want to sell your house, do it now and don’t wait, time is not on your side unless you are thinking long term. Don’t put a price on your house and think “let’s see what happens”. Price it right for the market and get it sold. We will do thorough analysis of the market and can assist you with pricing correctly.
