Market Favors Buyers
With Fall upon us here in Tahoe Truckee, the golf season is officially about to wind down to a close here in the mountains. But if you have been dreaming of a golf course home here at one of our beautiful communities, this might well be the BEST time to buy:
- There are fewer buyers in the market
- Inventory is strong
- The Fed's monetary policy has had a downward pressure on pricing
California or Nevada?
Golf is everywhere here in Tahoe Truckee. And in this guide I have not included public (or semi-public) courses like the two excellent golf course in Incline Village, the public course at Brockway (near Kings Beach, CA), Coyote Moon in Truckee, Tahoe Donner (which, while open to the public, also offers nice homes on the golf course), or Northstar, which, similarly, offers golf course homes as part of its larger repertoire.
If you're interested in any of those neighborhoods, just click on the link above, or reach out to me for additional info on amenities, home price ranges and HOA dues. Really, there are so many options that it can be paralyzing for the buyer who has the freedom to live anywhere.

Pros & Cons of CA vs NV
Over the years, I've had many buyers who "think" they might like one golf course community, only to end up in another. So I thought it might be helpful to offer this Guide to Tahoe Truckee Golf Communities as an introduction to the various options available here on both the CA and the Nevada sides of the Lake.
With no state income tax, no inheritance tax, and favorable tax treatment for those who make Nevada home, the NV side of the Lake offers certain advantages for those who are looking forward to retirement or a change in their business structure. That's also why the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe tends to be more expensive than CA (with some exceptions ... click here for a link to sales data for golf communities on both sides of the state line).
