Backs to Meadow, Forest and Lagoon for $230,000!?!?!

Located in one of the most convenient neighborhoods in Lake Tahoe-this 3 bedroom, two bathroom home backs to the meadow, forest and Tahoe Keys lagoon.  

With some upgrades this could be your perfect Tahoe cabin!



The view from the back decks!  Pristine and breathtaking!


Hop on your bike and take a 15 minute ride to the beach in the summer or jump in your car and take a 10 minute drive to the ski hill!  Living the Tahoe dream!

Auction with a view!

Crazy that a brand new home with this beautiful view went for $405,000!

















The home was custom and 100% move-in-ready...it even included furnishings!  There were about 25 people in attendance and my clients put in the first bid.  We didn't get the house but they took back-up offers so maybe it will come around.  

The most interesting part of the day was that we didn't ever find out what the reserve was or even if it was met.  The starting bid was not the reserve and brought a lot of doubt among the bidders.  I guess we'll see when it goes pending!

Now it's time to write an offer on another property!

Live Home Auction Today!!

Today 1863 Crystal Air Drive is going up for auction.  The starting bid will be $299,888 although there is a confidential reserve (meaning they have a minimum bid above the starting bid).  However, this could be a great way to get into a brand new home, built in 2009 with beautiful views, for far under market value.  And, it isn't a short sale or foreclosure! Isn't that amazing!?!?

I'm meeting my clients there today to see what happens.  We have been looking at other homes and they have been holding out on writing an offer until the auction today.  Trying to make the first time homebuyer tax refund deadline on April 30th-this could be a great opportunity for them.  Wish us luck!
