FALL WINTER 2025
PEDALING THE ICONIC FLUME TRAIL, WITH LAKE TAHOE STRETCHING ENDLESSLY BELOW.
What an extraordinary summer it has been in Lake Tahoe. From sun-soaked days on sapphire waters to starlit evenings in the Sierra, the season unfolded with gatherings that celebrated both place and purpose.
Among the most inspiring moments were those that united community with philanthropy. The Summer Social and Rodeo at Shakespeare Ranch, benefiting Keep Memory Alive, once again brought together friends, family, and neighbors for an unforgettable weekend—raising vital support for brain health research and care. Equally dazzling, the League to Save Lake Tahoe’s 56th Annual Fashion Show, featuring the timeless designs of Oscar de la Renta, carried forward its proud legacy of protecting our beloved lake, merging high fashion with an enduring environmental mission. These events remind us that Tahoe is not only a destination, but a community dedicated to giving back and sustaining its natural beauty.
In the realm of real estate, Tahoe continues to stand tall as an ultra-luxury market of rare distinction. Clear Creek Tahoe, celebrated for its design and lifestyle, earned top honors in the Tahoe Quarterly Home Awards. More than a community, Clear Creek Tahoe has become a driver of architectural innovation in Lake Tahoe, advancing a new standard of thoughtful, modern mountain design. With more than $950 million in sales volume since 2017, its success story continues to inspire. Meanwhile, in Incline Village, change is on the horizon with the demolition of the Lone Eagle Grille by Larry Ellison’s group, signaling a bold new chapter for Tahoe’s luxury hospitality. On the West Shore, Mark Zuckerberg’s growing compound and Discovery Land Company’s vision for Homewood reflect the scale of investment and imagination shaping the next generation of Tahoe living.
Beyond the lake, Reno is emerging as a dynamic complement to Tahoe’s luxury lifestyle. With cultural growth, a flourishing arts scene, and record-setting real estate achievements, the Biggest Little City is proving itself as both a hub of innovation and a natural extension of the Tahoe experience. Together, Tahoe and Reno embody a region alive with possibility— where design, lifestyle, and community flourish in harmony.
As we look toward the close of the year, the market remains both dynamic and resilient. Today’s ultra-luxury buyers are seeking more than homes—they are seeking legacy, lifestyle, and meaning. That is the Tahoe story, one that blends natural wonder, human connection, and architectural excellence into a timeless vision of living well.
At Chase International, we are proud to be part of this story, standing with our clients, colleagues, and community as stewards of an extraordinary way of life.

The luxury market in Lake Tahoe experienced an impressive increase in sales for 2025, highlighted by six transactions exceeding $20 million. The region's highest-priced sale, located on Tahoe's East Shore, sold for $41 million. Overall, there were 16 sales over $10 million this year, a decrease from last year's total of 19. The ongoing inventory shortage across all regions is driving both average and median prices upward compared to 2024. Unless inventory levels begin to rise, property values are expected to remain strong.
In comparison to this time last year, 307 single-family homes priced over $1 million were sold, reflecting a 9% increase from 274 sales in 2024. Sales volume around the lake increased significantly, led by the West and North Shore, which saw a massive 62% increase, buoyed by a $27.5 million transaction where Chase represented the buyer. The East Shore reported an impressive 49% increase in sales volume, while South Lake increased by 4%. In contrast, Incline Village experienced a 19% increase, helped by a $24.5 million sale represented by Chase.
Lakefront sales have surged notably in all areas except the South Shore, which has yet to record a lakefront sale in 2025. The East Shore experienced a staggering 1,404% increase in volume, totaling three sales. Incline Village and Crystal Bay volumes increased by an astonishing 764% with four transactions. The median price increased around the lake, with the East Shore experiencing a 456% increase, driven by multiple sales exceeding $35 million. The median price in Incline Village and Crystal Bay rose by 108%, while West and North Shore saw an increase of 28%.
The Truckee market remained relatively stable, with a 10% increase in volume. However, there was a 7% decrease in the number of units sold and a 5% rise in the median price. Martis Camp continues to stand out, boasting the highest-priced home sale this year at $12,195,000, a significant decrease from last year's record-breaking $23.6 million sale.
Reno-Sparks has seen a notable increase in luxury sales this year, resulting in a robust 20% rise in volume and a 15% increase in units sold over $1 million. However, the median price remained steady with a 2% increase. The thriving economic environment is contributing to heightened demand for luxury homes in this primary market, with Pecetti Ranch witnessing the most expensive sale in 2025 at $5,150,000. Just outside Reno, Verdi recorded an extraordinary sale of $6,200,000, also represented by Chase.
Carson Valley experienced a decrease across the board, with a 25% drop in volume, a 22% decline in units sold, and a 6% decrease in the median price. Clear Creek Tahoe continued to impress with three sales surpassing $10 million, with Chase International representing both buyers and sellers in these transactions. The highest-priced sale, also represented by Chase, achieved a record-setting price of $12,050,000 for a new, custom Tesla-powered home built by Whisper Homes.
As our newest market area, Lake Almanor is being hailed as "the affordable Lake Tahoe." This region experienced a notable 10% increase in volume, a 25% rise in units sold, and a 14% decline in the median price. The top sale in 2024 reached $2,245,000, with Chase representing the seller.
The greater Sacramento region, particularly Placer County and El Dorado County, maintained strength, showing a 10% increase in volume compared to 2024 for homes priced over $1 million, with 1,114 sales compared to 1,064 last year. The median price remained stable from $1,260,000 in 2025 to $1,265,000 in 2024. The highest-priced sale in this region occurred in Loomis, fetching $6,770,000.

We assist our clients in navigating one of life's most important assets—real estate. Whether it's a primary residence or a cherished retreat, these properties represent not only substantial investments but also enduring legacies.
With a team of more than 300 professionals, plus 60 luxury specialists across 14 offices, we offer the experience, creativity, and negotiation expertise necessary to manage our clients' most significant assets successfully.
Our record demonstrates the trust our clients place in us, as we consistently sell more homes priced over $5 million, $10 million, and $20 million than our competitors.

Nestled along the eastern shore of Lake Tahoe, Glenbrook stands as the most sought-after enclave on Nevada’s shoreline, seamlessly blending history, heritage, and luxury. At its heart lies Shakespeare Ranch—a magnificent estate spanning over 130 acres, synonymous with both Tahoe’s rich past and its elegant present.
In the early 1940s, the Glenbrook Rodeo first came to life on this very land, celebrating horsemanship and ranching culture. What originated as a frontier gathering quickly evolved into a cherished summer tradition, drawing families, ranchers, and visitors alike for thrilling bronc riding, roping contests, and lively music, all capturing the untamed spirit of the American West. However, by the mid-1960s, the rodeo faded into memory, seemingly closing a captivating chapter in the region’s history.
SHARI CHASE FOUNDER & CEO, CHASE INTERNATIONAL “
When purpose meets place, it reminds us of what we do — and why we do it. It grounds us in meaning, connects us to each other, and brings clarity to the work that matters most.”
Fast forward four decades, and the rodeo has emerged anew, driven by a profound purpose. In 2000, the current owners of Shakespeare Ranch revitalized the tradition, transforming it into the cornerstone of an exclusive annual fundraiser for Keep Memory Alive. This organization supports cutting-edge research, clinical care, and complimentary services for patients battling Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Today, the Summer Festival & Rodeo has become one of Tahoe’s most anticipated social events, fusing philanthropy with world-class entertainment in an unparalleled setting.
This year's festival, held over an August weekend, attracts an audience that mirrors Glenbrook's esteemed stature—global entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and long-time Tahoe families. Friday night ignites with the energy of a professional rodeo, where bulls buck, broncs twist, and barrel racers dash before cheering crowds. Guests indulge in a delicious Western barbecue, enjoy live music, sip cocktails, and revel in fun-filled children's activities. A spirited auction enhances the excitement, featuring luxury travel, exquisite jewelry, and extraordinary experiences.
As the sun sets, the evening transitions from rustic charm to sophisticated elegance. Guests convene for a lakeside reception under the Sierra twilight, enjoying gourmet dinners crafted by celebrity chefs, paired with fine wines and artisanal cocktails. Live performances range from chart-topping musicians to acclaimed entertainers, creating an unforgettable night of celebration. This striking juxtaposition pays homage to Tahoe’s Western heritage while delivering a lavish experience worthy of the world’s most exclusive gatherings.

Every aspect of the Summer Festival & Rodeo highlights the exclusivity of Glenbrook. Access is limited, experiences are thoughtfully curated, and attendees embody the discretion and sophistication that characterize life behind these gates. Yet this event transcends personal indulgence; it carries a vital mission. All proceeds generated by Keep Memory Alive, directly benefit the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, fostering groundbreaking advancements in research, patient care, and community outreach.
The festival honors leaders and organizations that reflect Tahoe’s spirit of community, with this year’s Community Leadership Award celebrating Barton Health. Guests are reminded that their involvement extends beyond the weekend; it contributes to vital research and services that ripple far beyond the shores of Tahoe.
For residents and visitors alike, the Shakespeare Ranch Rodeo epitomizes the essence of Glenbrook: private yet inviting, rich in history yet contemporary, skillfully balancing heritage and luxury. Few places in the world can offer such a union—an authentic rodeo beneath Sierra peaks, a gourmet dinner by celebrity chefs on the lake, and a philanthropic mission with a global impact.
This seamless blend of tradition, community, and exclusivity sets Glenbrook apart. Just as its waterfront homes remain among the most coveted in Lake Tahoe, the rodeo at Shakespeare Ranch offers a unique experience: a gathering that celebrates legacy, champions philanthropy, and redefines luxury not merely through opulence, but through purpose.
