Don't miss these properties over 4th of July

Don’t-miss properties for 4^th of July:

Now that summer is full swing with 4^th of July around the corner, the North Tahoe real estate market is expected to heat up.

We really didn’t have a winter to speak of so there have been some really great properties just sitting and waiting for buyers to come take a look. That being said, some sellers are getting antsy having had little or no activity on their properties in the past 6 months, and we will see a lot of significant reductions in the next week. They want to refresh their listings and show movement to attract attention to their properties during this time where so many people are expected to be in town.

Even if you like a property that has not been recently reduced, don’t despair. There is another line of thought out there: Sellers don’t want to negotiate against themselves through an unwarranted reduction. Meaning if the buyers simply have not been here to see the property (as has been the case this year), there may not be a price objection. It is more an issue of buyers just not being in town to property shop. By keeping their prices higher and waiting for an actual offer, the seller can leave themselves more room to negotiate when the “real deal” comes along.

As the summer progresses we will expect to see more incremental reductions across the board from motivated sellers. They may not want to hold their properties through another winter and will be ready to make a deal!

So if you are in the market, now is the time to start really keeping an eye on the properties/communities where you want to be. The deals are there, waiting for the right buyers and a lot of these sellers are ready to talk.
