Jim Porter: HOA may adopt reasonable rules and fees | TahoeDailyTribune.com
Posted April 24th, 2015 by Dave Westall in
Many of us live in subdivisions managed by a homeowner association. The rights and duties of association members and the board of directors are spelled out in the unwieldy Davis-Stirling Act. My biggest beef with the Act is that it applies to little subdivisions as well as giant subdivisions with thousands of owners, one size fits all, so it’s overkill and unduly burdensome on little HOA’s.
January 2015 Lake Tahoe Real Estate Market Report
Posted February 4th, 2015 by Dave Westall in
Welcome to the first Lake Tahoe real estate market report for 2015. So far this year, the Truckee and Tahoe real estate markets are showing signs of continued appreciation. However, I anticipate that the rate of appreciation might be slowing down due to lower inventory levels and slightly lower demand due to continued price increases as well as rising interest rates. If I had to guess, I would say that the median housing price in Tahoe and Truckee will rise 5-10% in 2015.

Lake Tahoe Real Estate Market Report, Jan. – Apr. 2014
Posted May 5th, 2014 by Dave Westall in
The real estate markets continue to show strength in 2014 with single family home pricing up significantly over 2013. After the first 4 months of 2014 we have seen fewer home sales than the previous year but average and median single family home pricing is rising due to a continuation of high buyer demand, low inventory levels, lower levels of distressed home sales (REO and Short Sales) and an increase in luxury homes sales. These are all signs of a healthy increasing market and we anticipate a strong summer of sales in the Lake Tahoe real estate markets.
