This week there were three new homesite sales within the luxury community of Lahontan. Two of these three sales were the most expensive Lahontan homesite sales of the year, at $815,000 and $725,000. The average of these three sales was $571,000. While the community of Lahontan has recently been overshadowed by a spotlight of interest and activity at Martis Camp, these comp sales show that Lahontan is once again resurfacing as a prime luxury homesite player with a new and different personality.
In recent years it has become apparent that Lahontan is one of the most under-valued communities in the area. Of the 151 most recent Lahontan homesite sales, dating back to 2010, only one had surpassed a listing price of $400,000, and 80% of homesites sold for under $200,000. Dating back to 2011, Martis Camp is yet to post a homesite sale under $300,000 and 86% of sales have been for over $500,000.
Homesite Sales: 2010-Present
As more and more buyers continue to appreciate the value of ownership in Lahontan, I believe that we will see the values of the properties within this community start to rise once again. Lahontan has re-vamped their club atmosphere with a recent multi-million dollar amenity upgrade. These are signs of an active community. Lahontan is no longer the old Ford pickup, and more the restored Mustang with heavy horsepower.
