Single Family Residence

Have you ever considered purchasing a second home at Lake Tahoe? If so, here are some facts you might find interesting:

The California side of the lake is divided into five distinct areas. These areas are located between Crystal Bay toward the east side and Rubicon on the west shore. Four of the areas are in Placer County and one is in El Dorado County.

During winter months, the inventory of homes for sale is generally low. As spring arrives and snow retreats, the single family homes market begins gearing up for the busy season. Memorial Day weekend is typically the start of the busiest time of the year for real estate sales at Lake Tahoe. Prices range from approximately $275,000 for a small one or two bedroom older home, to the market high of $36,000,000. As would be expected, properties on the water constitute the most expensive prices. Homes with varying degree of lakeview and quality of construction are priced proportionately.

The planning agencies that are responsible for any and all building within the basin, have instituted very strict guidelines regarding remodeling, as well as improvements such as adding square footage or a garage. Although it is sometimes very difficult to deal with these agencies, it can be accomplished. This is an area in which your broker has gained much knowledge and can be of significant help to you.
