So, I now Blog. I am a Blogger.
Posted in Uncategorized on 11/03/2008 01:28 pm by SandraThis blog will be focused on Incline Real Estate, and then some. I know myself, I won’t stay focused. Let it be known, there will be some “then some” with real estate breaking news, real estate news, real estate facts, real estate factoids, and then there will be “then some”.
OCTOBER 23, 2008 BREAKING NEWS: 913 Southwood Blvd. Incline Village (SIERRA BOUQUET) a freestanding PUD listed at $1,170,000 went into escrow. The property was listed SATURDAY; Acceptance was TUESDAY. ( I am the LISTING AGENT)
HUH? (you may say) regarding the swift movement of the property within the context of a LISTING MARKET. HUH? (you may say) regarding this is my entry into Blogging and all I have recorded is one property into escrow and that property was listed by me.
Self serving? Hey, I am just getting into this thing called blogging.
Regarding the movement of the property into Escrow, “What took you so long?” was the inquiry by one of my fellow COLDWELLIANS.
No mystery here, afterall, the last one to sell was last year, and it sold for over $1.4M. There are only 6 in this luxury gated enclave, an easy walk to Incline Village’s beaches and to the Incline Village Rec Center. These properties just aren’t traded that frequently.
In the Listing I wrote: Serious Seller looking for Serious Buyer. And that’s what came together within 80 hours.
Perhaps that handsomely balding COLDWELLIAN was correct, “What took me so long?”
Well that’s enough blogging today; I don’t want to wear myself out on my OPENING DAY.

So what’s happening w/ the market? Have you heard this question lately? I mean in the last 30 seconds? Right now, I am getting showings and offers on my listings. Last month I closed on 3 properties. It’s like people have climbed out of the big sleep. I have a client who, having sold his own property, is now looking for great values in the Incline market. Currently there is a lakefront under contract. To run a quick brush stroke– sophisticated Buyers are out there, looking for a deal, and executing a purchase. .Deadly bottom feeders are, generally, left sucking a lot of bubbles, and, in this agent’s opinion will go through this real estate market of great opportunity having bought “nada”. Once more, the educated and serious Buyer is going to find the opportunity and execute. The best value in this market is my listing at 701 Fairview. It’s 5 acres w/ panoramic lake view! 590 Pinto Court is also a luxury value. High level of construction, lake view, and newly remodeled. Where else do you get 1,000 sq ft garage? Beyond my listings there’s a property in Mill Creek at $645,000. I think that’s a good one. I have 2 locals who don’t want to list their properties but if you have an interest in a newer Mill Creek or a property off of Country Club give me a call.
You are not just buying a property here; you are making a life here. Check out some great things. Squaw Valley has a great Spring Skiing package, which will allow you to swim at their mountain high setting.
Concours D’Elegance is coming up in June, for the first time. It’s the best gathering of wooden boats in the US. Check out my own boat THE ALESSANDRA and go to our booth 39N120W Big Woody Wine Co. Cheers gotta bounce have a showing at 10:45 this morning.

Frequently people will ask, so what do you think is going to happen in the market? Any real estate professional who answers this question w/ any sort of definitive response, either has a crystal ball or is patently reckless. Agents can speak of specific market developments…houses sold, diminishing inventory at a specific condo complex, status of Bank Owned Properties or Short Sales, the number of Notice of Defaults, up-tick in sales over the past year.
I am going to speak to two recent sales in Incline Village. In the past 2 weeks 2 properties SOLD above the $11M price tag. Yesterday, Donald Trump said “It’s a great time to buy a house.” Maybe there are 3 people w/ a crystal ball?
Today we are getting snow showers at low levels. No crystal ball here: I am looking out the window. Prediction is that we are going to get anywhere from 3-5 inches in the next two days. Will check out the validity of that “crystal ball” on Wednesday.
Remember Squaw Valley has Spring Ski Passes and w/ that you can use the pool at mountain top. Cinco de Mayo party at the Hacienda May 3. The Hacienda is right across from our Coldwell Banker Office.
