USA Today recently named Lake Tahoe, the alpine lake located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, the most beautiful lake in the country. Straddling the Nevadan and Californian state lines, Lake Tahoe hosts tourists from all over the country during ski season and summer vacations. Guests of the lake can enjoy skiing or snowboarding in the mountains during the particularly heavy winters or they can visit during the summer when the region is nearly cloudless and sunny everyday. Though the Tahoe region may vary in its extremes during the seasons, it is an attractive and viable option for individuals searching for a place to call home or those seeking a second home for vacation purposes.

The Lake Tahoe real estate market is currently experiencing below average prices for homes in the area, which has enticed many to peruse the market for Lake Tahoe real estate lakefront properties, as these will are far more affordable than previous years. A lakefront property boasts the best views in the region, including deep azure waters as far as the eye can see. Residents can enjoy a private dock leading to the lake for a sailboat or yacht, or simply experience the serenity of the sunset behind the mountains every evening. Regardless, lakefront properties have become increasingly popular in the Lake Tahoe real estate market and have become even more desirable as prices continue to decrease.

For the reasons mentioned above, Tahoe has become a popular location for a second home and in recent months home sales have increased 15%. The combination of lower prices and a wider variety of homes for sale have attributed to this increase, which is a positive step for the region. Many new residents of the Tahoe region choose to use their real estate as vacation homes and many also choose to resell at a later date for a higher price. However, since this is currently considered the best time to buy real estate in the area, available homes are dwindling and quickly, so it is important for prospective homebuyers to begin their search as soon as possible.

There are plenty of Lake Tahoe realtors in the region, but only a handful have the knowledge and expertise to guide potential homebuyers to the best home for their needs. One such realtor is Kelly Flaherty, a South Lake Tahoe resident who takes pride and feels passionate about the Tahoe real estate market.
