Tahoe Keys Real Estate Review for 2009

January 23, 2010

Real Estate in the Tahoe Keys was not immune to the decline in property values in 2009. The median sales price of single family homes dropped 17% from $847,500 in 2008 to $700,000 in 2009. 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.

The decline in the sales prices was a great opportunity for home buyers looking for deals in the Tahoe Keys. 484 Carson Ct. is a great example. 484 Carson Ct. was a bank owned foreclosure in the Tahoe Keys that was listed for $792,900. This was a 3 bedroom, 3 bath, 2 car garage, 2136 square foot home built in 1993. This home had multiple offers and sold above asking price at $826,000. This is still an incredible price when you look at what the home last sold for, $1,345,000 on 8/19/05!
