Surviving Winter with Wade

0
Winter is coming. The squirrels are busily gathering nuts and dropping pine cones. If you’ve been around Tahoe for a while, you might know how to prepare for what could be a gnarly winter. For those of us less schooled in that respect, Wade has compiled a small list of hacks to help you live to see the summer.

Ramsey Etchison has created Generation Book Truckee because he wants to make it possible for people to know about their community, so he takes people’s pictures, invites them to express themselves, and helps us recognize that everyone’s roots extend across the planet.

Based on the statistics, what is the current status of the Tahoe-Truckee Real Estate Market? The number of sales for the entire region has dropped dramatically from 1,216 to 722 in the past two years. We see locals moving to Reno or other places 'off the hill' because they can’t afford to buy a house here. Price reductions are the order of the day and some sellers are offering bonuses to real estate offices to sell their properties. Realtors all over the region are trying to figure out what else to do to attract buyers.
