    Fairly quiet week with only 5 short sale listing price reductions, and one new short sale listing on 740 Mays Blvd.  No sales to report.   On the bank owned list, we have two pending sales and one new listing at 887 S. Dyer at $399,900.  That sounds like a real bargain.                  Denise Cash  775.691.3844               Ken Cash  775.691.3855   DeniseCash@TahoeLiving.com       KenCash@TahoeLiving.com                                       www.TahoeLiving.com   Incline Village Condominium/PUD Short Sale Listings       MLS#             Address                      Unit     List Price        Status  Bed     Bath   Gar       SqFt   940104            945 Harold Dr.             1          $139,000         A         2          1          N         782   939875            807 Alder    ...

Recently I read about mentoring and that it can often play the key role in someones personal and professional life.  I believe that to be true, don't you?  Learning about life, about a new career or even one that is unstable and unhappy can be a difficult endeavor.  The piece I read talked about learning the ropes be it in real estate or filling a social need in the community. The article in REALTOR magazine along with the Good Neighbor Society made up of past award winners were again honoring five volunteering works grant recipients.  In case you didn't know, as I didn't know, these are real estate professionals who have turned their vision of helping other into actions.  As winners they will receive a grant, but more important in my mind they will be matched for one year with past Goo...

    Here in Lake Tahoe we are fortunate to not have the many abandoned homes which are unsightly.  We are not struggling with overgrown lawns, boarded windows, sagging gutters, damaged doors and windows not to mention the high risk of vandalism, rodents and bears moving in etc.  Most of our homes in foreclosure limbo don't look a lot different than the second home where the owners and friends only come for 2 or 3 weeks maybe 3 or 4 times a year.  Second home owners in the mountains tend to want a very low maintenance landscaping even to the point of keeping it all natural. So what happens when you want to sell your home and the next door home is in foreclosure or already bank owned?  Well, not much other than you will need to consider the pricing which those homes are being marketed at....

    On the short sale list, there have been seven price reductions, two new escrows, one back on market and one new listing since my last report of 8-7-2011. No sales to report. On the bank owned list, there has been one price reduction, one sold to report, one new listing and two new escrows. The home at 529 Dale Dr. listed for $1,345,900 sold for $1,300,000 cash 08/05/2011. Our office is now ahead of last August closings as of the 18th.  That is a good thing as the market has not been all that hot this summer. Historically speaking the most closings are in September, October and November. Overall,the market has been adjusting list prices to market conditions. We are also making more headway now with our short sale inventory with a few short sale approvals that I’m aware of in the past...

Foreclosures in the Incline Village and Crystal Bay Communities of Lake Tahoe Is there an end to the foreclosure crisis? One home at a time, but until our market rebounds (which real estate economists are saying could be 5-7 years or LONGER!) we are still plagued by foreclosures and other distressed properties in our market…short sales, deeds in lieu of foreclosures, etc. With the downturn in the stock market the news is quite grim. Here is the most current market update available…For a complete list of foreclosures and distressed properties visit us at www.solirealestate.com/foreclosuresandshortsales.html

On the short sale list, we have 5 new short sale listings, 3 price reductions, one price increase, 2 new escrows and no sales to report. And two back on market listings.  The new short sale listing at 769 Mays Blvd. looks like a good value with a garage.  Short sales continue to be a very active part of our market.   On the bank owned list, we have just one price reduction and a new escrow to report at Incline Manor.       Denise Cash  775.691.3844               Ken Cash  775.691.3855 DeniseCash@TahoeLiving.com       KenCash@TahoeLiving.com  www.TahoeLiving.com Incline Village Condominium/PUD Short Sale Listings   MLS#             Address                      Unit     List Price        Status  Bed     Bath   Gar       SqFt   939875            807 Alder                     81        $14...

As a buyer..........or a seller, this is important stuff. Why is it that some real estate professionals along with their buyers think that floating an offer verbally by the listing agent and seller is a good practice.  I am not saying that I have never run an idea by the other agent to attempt at getting a feel for the motivation of the seller, however, when it came time to actually get the details down, I did it in writing on the proper documents including all the disclosures.  (I now use docusign almost exclusively except when a buyer or seller wishes to not use.)  So why not get as much signed off as possible up front?  Given the many disclosures we deal with.  And it only takes another few minutes to complete everything and it sets the tone in my mind as what my expectations are goi...

Our first quarter ended with decent home and condo sales.  Although the number of buyers in this market has been less than anticipated.  We are think the remainder of the year should better.  The signs are there and historically we always do better the last half of the year.  Home values seem to have settled in however there are still short sales and bank owned coming to the market.  This will probably continue for the next 2-3 years.  Affordability in Lake Tahoe may not have been this good since 2001. Although there is not alot of foreigners buying Lake Tahoe homes the few that are, get excellent value homes when considering the exhange rates, taxing and other factors.  Speaking of short sales, we do not have as many as say 6 months to 12 months ago and prices even in this area of the...
