For those who have been considering the purchase of a property in the North Tahoe area, you have likely seen that prices are on the rise and may have even missed out on a purchasing opportunity or two.  Purchasing a home, especially an investment or 2nd home, is a big decision that is difficult to make in a short period of time.  Indecision can be the Achilles’ heel of any property search, it can lead to frustration and postponement which offers no benefit to you or your friends and family.

Yes there are always going to be reasons why you should wait….the stock market, an election year, travel costs, weather etc. There are also an overwhelming number of reasons why you should buy now:

–  How many years will you have to create memories with your children?

– Will the market continue to go up?  Will you be priced out?

– Use it Now!

– Entertain with family and friends.

– Someone else will buy it if you don’t.

– You deserve it!

I could go on and on but you get the point.  If a vacation home or investment property is something you have been considering, why wait?  The market is healthy, the weather is perfect and the lake is filling up.  Tahoe is an exceptional place to recreate and spend time with friends and family and I can’t think of a better place to raise my two sons, Hawken (7) and Tucker (3).

There are still incredible values in the luxury market at Northstar where you can purchase ski-in/ski-out properties in the $500 per square foot range. The 3 bedroom Trailside listing below was recently reduced by $200,000 making it the lowest property per square foot currently offered in Mountainside at Northstar.

14061 Trailside Loop | 3 bed | 4.5 bath | 3,426 sq.ft. | $1,750,000
