Tahoe Donner Single Family Home Sales – Nov ’09
December 4, 2009
The following Figure shows Tahoe Donner Single Family Home activity from Jan 2008 through November 2009.
Figure 1. Tahoe Donner Single Family Home Sales
Single Family home sales continue to outpace last year’s sales. Inventory (# of listings ) is at a multi-year low. The very strong sales in Sept-Oct reduced the number of available homes for sale and the inventory has really been picked over. Low inventory and strong demand will obviously help to put some upward bias on home pricing.
Inventory is low at 99 homes on the market. When you consider we have over 5100 homes in Tahoe Donner this is approximately 1.9 % of the homes in TD.
Average Days on market (DOM) increased to 123 days. I think this is due to the inventory of homes falling and some of the slow moving listings finally selling due to the increased demand.
Single family home sales were 15 homes, down from 30 last month. There are a large number of pending and contingent sales so Dec could be up if the pending sales can get closed.
Figure 2. Tahoe Donner Single Family Home Median and Average Home Price
One important change that started in Jan of ’09 is that Average and Median prices had a significant downturn – see Figure 2. However, one can see that the average and median prices have remained stable since Jul of ‘09. This is a good trend and could be construed as a sign that the Tahoe Donner single family home market is healthy.
One factor that affects this price curve is that we have a dearth of high end new home construction activity in Tahoe Donner. This will tend to keep SF home pricing a bit lower until we get some additional high end construction activity.
