Lahontan Home Values Stay Strong

Despite rising interest rates and a shaky economy, homes at the Lahontan Golf & Country Club in Truckee, CA held their value, finishing 2023 on par with the record prices we saw the year before.

With just 13 homes changing hands all year (and one more new home that closed Jan 2 at almost $1,230/sf), the volume of sales in Lahontan is just two-thirds of what it was last year. But the median sales price is holding steady at close to $4 million, bolstered in part by the sales of brand new homes fetching upwards of $1,100/square foot (SF).

Despite news of inflation and a stock market that's been pummeled by the Fed's unrelenting attack on interest rates, homes in gated golf course communities around Lake Tahoe continue to show strong sales.  As of this writing (Sept 23), 79 homes have sold this year in gated communities from Truckee (home to the Martis Valley trio of Lahontan, Martis Camp & Schaffer's Mill) to the East Shore of the Nevada side of the Lake, where money is consistently flowing into Clear Creek, a gated golf course community off Highway 50 with its own lakefront clubhouse at Tahoe.

Lahontan's Clubhouse Undergoing Renovation

Lahontan ClubhouseThe Lahontan Clubhouse was closed for part of 2025 to implement a renovation that will introduce a new "casual" dining area to what had long been more of a formal setting

Lahontan, the Granddaddy of Truckee's gated communities, found itself so popular during the Covid years that managers briefly experimented with freezing its social memberships. But ultimately scrapped that restrictive policy in favor of raising the initiation rate and annual dues.

By 2021, amid Covid shutdowns, a social club membership at just $8,450/year with a $10k initiation fee was looking like such a bargain that many Lahontan owners decided to jump on board. 

The social membership includes use of the pools, a beautiful fitness…

Lahontan Home Sales up 41% over 2017

With interest rates up, and today’s stock market feeling like a roller coaster ride, the economy ended 2018 on wobbly knees. But that does not seem to have dampened enthusiasm for the Tahoe/Truckee real estate market, which closed out the year with a record $1.3 billion in sales.

Fewer homes sold than in 2017, but higher prices pushed the region’s overall volume up to a record high that’s almost three times the dollar volume that sold a decade ago, when the slide into the recession had just begun. Tahoe/Truckee single-family home sales were up last year almost $174 million over 2017.

New construction has certainly contributed to the gain. We have more homes now than we did a decade ago — that’s a fact.…
