Toward the end of January, we begin to see spring real estate trends emerging nationally. This is typically also the slowest month in Tahoe for the real estate market. What January tells us to expect for our spring season is the persistence of lean inventory and incredibly high demand. Many homeowners considering listing their primary or secondary home are waiting to see what the market is like in Tahoe this spring. Whether this is in hopes of maintaining a lower mortgage rate, or waiting to buy out of area when rates potentially decline, we expect to see an outpaced demand once more, with cautious sellers and aggressive buyers.
