Even with the struggling economy, or possibly because of it, the real estate market in North Lake Tahoe and Truckee is off to a strong start in the first four months of 2010. With 231 single family home sales from January through April, the area posted the highest sales levels since 2005 when there were 271 sales for the same four month period. Compared to 2009′s first four month sales of 142 single family homes, 2010 looks to be a much more active year for home sales.

Fueling the number of home sales are REO and short sale opportunities, which are making up a large portion of the volume due to the attractive pricing and value offered for distressed properties.
