Why is low elevation so important?  Well, it results in a lot less snow accumulation,  a lot less snow removal and back aches and your tulips and daffodils are the first to show in the Spring.  All kidding aside, low elevation is extermely important to many buyers in our market.  This home located at 1066 Flume Road in InclineVillage, NV is a great buy.  Listed below current market value at $499,900, totally refurbished inside with new carpet, new tile flooring, new paint, new granite kitchen and new tiled bathrooms for a start.  The yard is incredible, level lot, landscaped and close to all Incline Village amenities...private beaches, shopping, restaurants, Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe, etc.  Looking forward to selling this one this weekend.     01/08/2011

It is going to be an interesting year with foreclosures, short sales and just distressed properties all around.  The slow down or 'FREEZE' of the foreclosure market by the banks was nothing but the usual 4th quarter stall tactic.  As 2011 heats up the writing is on the wall for more and more foreclosures and distressed properties to hit the market.  For a complete list of auction properties, potential short sales (homes that have hit the default list) and bank owned homes, visit us at www.solirealestate.com/foreclosuresandshortsales.html . 01/07/2011
