2024 Year-End Real Estate Market Statistics and the Implications for the 2025 Lake Tahoe Real Estate Market
Properties stayed on the market longer, which gave buyers more choices, eliminated the urgency of the last few years and gave buyers a better bargaining position. 2024 was no longer a sellers market. There were many price drops of list prices and often sellers accepted prices lower than asking price. Yet we still had slight increase in median prices.
According to the latest estimates, the real estate market nationally is facing a housing shortfall of several million homes. That means there are far more people looking to buy than there are homes for sale and that is the key reason why prices won’t fall at the national level. The majority of experts agree prices will keep rising next year, but at a much slower, healthier pace. In areas where inventory remains tight, like in the Lake Tahoe market, prices will keep climbing. That’s why it’s crucial to work with a local real estate expert who understands your market and can explain what’s going on where you live.
Greg Rankin, owner at Rankin Richey Real Estate Team, says: “It appears we are experiencing a market correction from the frenzied market during the pandemic, however, our market continues to hold the pace for moderate gains over 2024. It is moving more towards a buyers market and sellers that recognize that are having success with thoughtful pricing and home preparations. It is a good time to buy, there are plenty of opportunities for buyers in a variety of different areas for those who are looking.”
