Second home communities such as Incline Village and the Lake Tahoe Basin are not exempt from the struggling housing market. Foreclosures, short sales, and growing inventories also plague the serene landscape of the Sierra Nevada’s.
Sellers are not happy however; there are great deals to be had. For qualified buyers the silver lining is, if you are looking to buy that dream Lake Tahoe vacation home, 2009 could be the best year yet to close a deal.
