North Tahoe Home Sales are Climbing in 2016

The beauty of Lake Tahoe is matched only by the tranquility of living here. With its magnificent scenery and laid-back attitude, there's a reason Lake Tahoe is one of the premier vacation destinations in the country. And there's no better time than now to find your own hilltop hideaway here.

As the national housing market continues to stabilize, the demand for second and resort homes has seen a strong increase. From a low in 2012, growth in vacation home sales has been in the double digits. Early projections are coming true as low interest rates of four and five percent coupled with better pricing to bring great new opportunities. A vacation home in North Tahoe is a solid investment in an area with an unmatched quality of life.

If you're thinking about a property you can rent out for part of the year, the market for vacation leases will be high. North Tahoe draws an affluent crowd looking for the finest in rental accommodations and you'll be ready.

The past few years, dry winters and an unsure national economy kept the market at a low ebb here. But thanks to El Niño and other weather events, Lake Tahoe was blessed by an early, heavy snowfall, and that means prime skiing conditions. Ski resorts are enjoying a bustling business and drawing tourists from all over the country.

In North Tahoe, there's a good deal more than just skiing. The North Shore offers four seasons of scenic beauty, world-class casinos, music concerts of all sorts and a busy, exciting nightlife. There are top-notch bike and horseback trails, several beachfront areas and six championship golf courses. With all this and even more, it's no wonder North Tahoe consistently ranks number one on surveys of best vacation spots.
