Tahoe Keys Real Estate Review for 2009

January 23, 2010

One of the leading causes of the decline in the median sales price of the single family homes was the presence of bank owned foreclosures and short sales. There were 5 foreclosures and 7 short sales it the Tahoe Keys that closed escrow in 2009. Short sales and foreclosures accounted for 12 out of 32  (38%) of the sold single family homes in the Tahoe Keys. The number of homes sold in the Tahoe Keys was the same as in 2008, 32.
