South Lake Tahoe MLS

March 2020 Real Estate Review

The South Lake Tahoe Real Estate market is seeing a slight decrease in the total number of listings from March 2019. This includes the Active Listings and those that are currently in Escrow. Out of the 216 Active Listings, none are Short Sale and there are 4 REO properties. Out of the 54 properties in Escrow, none are Short Sales and none are REO. 

The median sales price for a Single-Family Home in South Lake Tahoe as of March 2020 is $470,000.00 which is down 1.3% from March 2019. There are currently 54 properties in Escrow and represent 37% of the total inventory. Here is a breakdown by price range of the 54 Escrows:

  • Under $200,000- 1  1.9%
  • $201,000 to $300,000- 2  5.6%
  • $301,000 to $400,000- 12  27.8%
  • $401,000 to $500,000- 14

  • $801,000 to $999,000- 4
  • Over $1 Million- 5 (4 are Chase of which 0 are Zalanta)

From January 1, 2020 to March 30, 2020 there have been a total of 123 closings which is about the same from the amount of closings during the same time in 2019 which was 121 closings. 

We are currently operating during the “Shelter in Place” order that the State of California is under as we are an essential service. We are needing to be creative in order for our clients to be able to purchase homes virtually during this time. I offer Virtual Showings on all of our Active Listings this way people can watch the video first to make sure this is something they are interested in. Buyer’s much be Prequalified prior to looking at a property and must watch the Virtual Showing video prior to entering a property. I can also FaceTime or Zoom any of my clients through properties listed on the MLS if you are not able to come to South Lake Tahoe at this time. 

You can access all of my Virtual Showings by visiting my YouTube Channel- Brent Johnson’s YouTube Channel

Please be sure to “Subscribe” to not miss out on future showings!

Stay home, stay safe, and be well! 

February 2020 Real Estate Review

The South Lake Tahoe Real Estate market is seeing a slight increase in the total number of listings from February 2019. This includes the Active Listings and those that are currently in Escrow. Out of the 159 Active Listings, none are Short Sale and there are 4 REO properties. Out of the 72 properties in Escrow, none are Short Sales and 1 REO. 

The median sales price for a Single-Family Home in South Lake Tahoe as of February 2020 is $475,000.00 which is the same as February of 2019. There are currently 72 properties in Escrow and represent 31.2% of the total inventory. Here is a breakdown by price range of the 72 Escrows:

  • Under $200,000- 1  1.4%
  • $201,000 to $300,000- 5  8.3%
  • $301,000 to $400,000- 12  25%
  • $401,000 to $500,000- 17  
  • $501,000 to $600,000- 6
  • $601,000 to $700,000- 11

  • $801,000 to $999,000- 6
  • Over $1 Million- 6 (4 are Chase of which 0 are Zalanta)

Today, we are faced with several new challenges regarding how Real Estate will be affected due to the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic. We should expect that property showings will be slow since we are required to social distance and in some cases “Shelter in Place”. We will see our market get a later start to our Spring Listing Season as in years before, we would see that would have just begun. 

We are still out showing properties, however, we are following strict guidelines to comply with social distancing. We are following our clients instead of riding in the same car to ensure the 6-foot rule, using hand sanitizer frequently before and after entering a property, refraining from touching surfaces, and staying home if we are not feeling well. 

In South Lake Tahoe currently, the Casinos, restaurants and bars, some hotels, and other local business are closed until further notice. It will be interesting to see when our town will be back up and running! 

Until then, wash your hands and stay well!

Mortgage Rates are at their lowest they have been in 3 years. CNN reported that, “Mortgage rates across the U.S. have fallen to a three-year low, a boon for house-hunters and homeowners looking to refinance. 

The average 30-year mortgage is charging 3.45%, while 15-year loans are at 2.97%, according to Freddie Mac. That’s down from 4.41% and 3.84% a year ago. Lower rates means homeowners pay less for their house over the life of the loan. So anyone with decent credit shopping for a home is likely getting the cheapest interest rates in years, experts said.”

What factors are pushing down mortgage costs? “The Federal Reserve has kept rates low after cutting them three times last year amid signs of economic weakness, while inflation remains tame.

“And once [banks] start to expect that, they’re willing to lend money over the long run at lower interest rates,” said Bob DeYoung, an economist and business professor at the University of Kansas. 

Another reason mortgage rates have receded: European and other overseas investors seeking shelter from Brexit, the coronavirus and other global risks have scooped up U.S. Treasuries, pushing down yields. Banks typically keep mortgage rates slightly above Treasury rates, so home loan costs have declined in turn.”
