No hint was given that changes in policy tightening is anywhere in the foreseeable future remaining cautiously optimistic about the encouraging economic indicators and noting the the risks of a double dip recession has receded.

Although the number of bank owned homes in South Lake Tahoe has increased over the past year so has the competition to purchase. A steady flow of bank owned homes is expected to hit the market through the summer of but you must first put yourself in position to purchase which will increase your odds when you find your perfect Tahoe dream vacation home. A well priced bank owned home in good/fair condition with a good or above average setting will only stay on the market for about 5 days or less. This is because of the simple fact that most all real estate agents in Lake Tahoe are working with prospective buyers looking for bank owned homes and short sales. Follow these steps to increase your odds.
1) You must first get pre-approved with a lender (pre-approval letters must accompany any offer to purchase). For a list of local lenders email chuckfortahoe@sbcglobal.net
2) Know what you want! Size, area, condition, setting etc. I recommend spending a day with an your real estate agent looking at homes in the different neighborhoods of South Lake Tahoe. This will give you a feel for the areas you like and don’t like.
3) Pick an agent that is familiar with the bank owned home purchase process. This will give you a better idea what to expect from the banks during escrow.
4) Be ready to put in an offer fast when the right home comes on the market…..even sight unseen if you have done your home work ahead of time……..you will still have time to preview home before you have to remove contingencies.
Best time in years to purchase Tahoe Real Estate……I often tell me clients “the kids will forget what they got for Christmas and Birthdays but they will never forget their vacations in Tahoe”
