CHASE INT ERNAT I ONAL .CO M 33

welcome Chase LIFE—live well, work well, love well!

Take a breath! It is the High Sierra calling. The call echoes gratitude, compassion and love for our region - for all firefighters, first responders, volunteers and communities who protected our national treasure. In times like this, we get to know our neighbors from near and far. After many weeks of fire and smoke, we have a greater understanding of our wants and needs. Today, we embrace a sense of wellbeing. Protecting our little space in the world is essential.

The chaotic real estate growth is now more in tune with nature. Our economic opportunities are fresh, and we continue to welcome a real estate market fulfilling people’s desires. There is a higher regard for our land, water, air and forests. Inventory is still being purchased at a robust rate but the market demands attention to pricing. There is a window of opportunity for all people - being patient, determined and prepared are still key factors to gain success.

Today, Incline Village and Crystal Bay command the highest prices around the lake. The Crystal Cove Coast offers the most spectacular opportunity we have seen in a long time.

Zephyr Cove is a hot spot while South Lake Tahoe is safe and sound. New home construction is still at an all-time high in Clear Creek Tahoe with exciting new developments coming down the pike. The Carson Valley is a true value with wide-open spaces, sprawling ranches, and spectacular Sierra views. Reno is emerging as one of the best places to live in the nation while the ambiance of Truckee attracts the wild west feeling with fun restaurants and beautifully appointed golf communities.

We are proud to call the High Sierra our home. Each of our luxury specialists is finding new and creative ways to make magic happen for our clients!

At Chase, we make dreams come true!

Luxury wishes,

LAURA SPEAR REALTOR®

Lake Tahoe

Truckee

The 2021 Lake Tahoe luxury market continues to outperform 2020 (our best year on record) through Q3. The great migration to our area continues to keep inventory levels well below prior years, driving up the value of homes significantly.

Truckee continued to set records with 389 homes selling over $1 million, a 36% increase from 2020, which was a record year also. The median price was down 4% to $1,669,500 from $1,740,000. Volume was up an impressive 41% from our previous record-breaking 2020. Martis Camp continues to be the most affluent area in the Truckee market, with the highestpriced home selling for $12,975,000.

Last year at the end of the third quarter, there were 430 single-family homes sold over $1 million. In 2021, we closed a whopping 555 homes: an increase of 29%. Leading the way is South Shore with an 88% increase followed by North and West Shore at a 56% increase and the East Shore up 40%.

Only Incline Village saw a decrease of 13% solely caused by a lack of inventory.

Chase International sold three of the top four Incline Village and Crystal Bay homes in 2021. The first sale was a four+/acre Crystal Bay Lakefront Estate parcel, followed by an Incline Village lakefront property for $32,500,000 and a new construction contemporary lakefront in Crystal Bay for $25,370,000. Chase sold three out of the top five sales over $20 million. Never in our history have we seen so many ultrahigh-end estates sell in nine months. Currently, we have set a record for sales over $20 million in 2021.

The leading lakefront sales volume was in the North and West Shore, CA, with a 72% increase. On the East Shore, sales volume was down 25% due to a lack of inventory. Median prices were up 179% in Incline Village, 97% in South Shore, and 76% on North and West Shores.

Reno-Sparks Reno-Sparks knocked it out of the park with a 108% increase in homes over $1 million, setting a record for the area. Sales volume is up an unbelievable 125%, and the median price is up 4%. The highest-priced home in the Reno-Sparks area sold for $6,700,000 in Southwest Reno, making it the third-highest home sale in Reno history.

Carson Valley Carson Valley continued its upward trajectory with a jawdropping 114% increase in units sold over $1 million and a 113% increase in sales volume. The median price rose 18%. The highest price sales in the Carson Valley were two ranches, one for $12,000,000 and the other for $9,500,000, with Chase International representing both the buyer and seller.

WHAT IS A PIER ON LAKE TAHOE WORTH

BY JACKIE GINLEY, BROKER ASSOCIATE

A pier can add significantly to the value of a Tahoe Lakefront home, and that’s a number that’s likely to rise in the coming decade, as the odds of getting one become more and more slim.

After decades of legal and regulatory wrangling, a new rule took effect in 2019 limiting the number of piers that can be built at the Lake. This summer, for example, only 4 lucky lakefront owners will win the right to construct their own pier.

Applications were rolling in to the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) as this article went to print, but judging from past demand, we will likely see dozens of lakefront owners walk away disappointed this summer. (In 2019, 83 lakefront owners applied for the right to build a private pier, and only 5 were granted.)

Piers at Lake Tahoe were for many years unregulated. That’s why you see flat top boathouses, a throwback to the 1950s & ‘60s, and even rock crib piers that look like private marinas dotting the shoreline.

One 4-bedroom on the East Shore, for example, sold for almost $1,700/square foot last year, thanks in part to the sprawling breakwater and lakefront amenities it offers.

You can’t build something like that today, and the value of that is obvious to those seeking Tahoe’s Lakefront lifestyle. Chase International Broker Mike Dunn sold the home again this year for more than what it closed for last year.

That property, like many lakefront sales, closed for cash last year.

But a seller who accepts a financed offer for a lakefront home will be subject to an appraisal, and appraisers take an unemotional view of a property. Intangibles like the hand-hewn beams that grace a property like Julia Morgan’s Bow Bay, or the rays of the setting sun from the end of a pier near Madden Creek on the Westshore, won’t necessarily boost the bottom line on an appraisal.

When it comes to an appraisal view on piers, “there’s just not one number you can assign to it,” said Trinkie Watson, a seasoned lakefront broker at Chase International. Appraisers will consider the slope of the lot and whether a pier is deep water or shallow.

That also becomes important in drought years, because a deepwater pier means you’ll be more likely to still be able to pull your boat up to onboard guests.

CEDAR BROOK SOLD FOR $11,000,000

A shallow pier might add $500,000 to the value of a lakefront home, and a deep-water would add more, she said. Throw in a lift with buoys, and the value of the lakefront home might appraise for $1.5 million more than a pier-less neighboring home.

That was also reflected in the market last year for areas of the North Shore, where one home with an extensive pier and flat-top boathouse sold for $9.5 million, despite the fact that the home itself was small and somewhat dated.

Compare that to a beautiful North Shore home that closed for a little over $7.6 million, almost 5 percent under asking in an otherwise hot market. It had 5 bedrooms and more than 4,800 square feet of contemporary living space with a gorgeous lakefront grounds. But what it lacked was a pier.

And getting a pier these days is not so simple as just applying for one. From now until 2033, only 13 lucky homeowners will win the right to build a pier on their lakefront property. Some areas of the lake,

such as stream mouths, will be entirely off limits, but for those with eligible properties, the application process involves submitting a fairly complex application that includes scenic and other mitigation.

If all that looks good, one is then thrown into a lottery where only four winners will get the right to build a private pier this year. Applications are open only every other year through 2033. In 2023, for example, only one private pier permit will be awarded.

Piers serving multiple parcels will be a little easier to secure; eight of those will be granted this year, nine in the application round two years from now, and 11 in the years moving forward. We’re likely to see some lakefront owners offering to share a pier with their neighbor, or buy their neighbor’s rights, which allows them to come forward with a “multiple parcel” pier application.

How we got to this place is a history lesson infused with regulatory action to protect lake clarity and

lawsuits. The construction of piers, dating back to the era that preceded the pile driver, was a Wild West of building for much of the 20th Century.

Then TRPA stepped in. In October 2008, the agency approved a plan that would allow up to 128 private piers, lifting a moratorium on new pier construction that had been in effect for almost two decades. Two environmental groups sued, and the judicial opinion in that lawsuit laid the foundation for the plan we are living with today, which will allow for 71 more multiple and only 13 private piers through 2033.

So what will be the future value of a pier at Lake Tahoe? Potentially … priceless.
