Inventory Decreased. The number of listings for Tahoe Donner single family homes for sale in the Tahoe Sierra MLS was 91 as of January 2, 2012. This represents a decrease over the last quarter, roughly about a 30% decrease in inventory of single family homes. It is somewhat usual to experience a decrease in inventory at this time of the year as homes have been taken off the market to be ski leased for the winter season. But, usually we see the larger drop at the beginning of the 4th quarter, versus at the beginning of the next year’s 1st quarter. So, our inventory of homes for sale is lower than usual now.

Increase in median sales prices for 2 quarters in a row! The median sales price for single family homes in Tahoe Donner for October 2011 through December 2011 was $537,500.

The median sales price for single family homes was $520,000 during the same period in the prior year (4th Quarter 2010), thus we experienced a 3.4% decrease compared to the 4th quarter of 2010. We still have lots of buyers looking for homes in the lower price ranges. Lower priced homes are still continuing to sell the best.

Basically, the average $/sq.ft. for sold homes has seesawed up and down almost each quarter for the last few years, with a general downward trend.
