Why all the interest in South Lake Tahoe?
South Lake Tahoe is the town with the most amenties in the Lake Tahoe area and Lake Tahoe is the most popular place in California's side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It makes sense that people would focus their searches there when looking in the area by why are they looking to buy in the Lake Tahoe region at all? Well, Lake Tahoe is only a 3-hour drive from San Francisco, a city filled with newly freed work-from-home wage earners who may be looking to escape their urban environment and its high cost of living and covid risks.
In their 2022 predictions article, Zillow made the prediction that there will be a trend of younger homebuyers buying a "second home" before they buy what would normally be considered a primary residence. So, they will look in vacation and recreation areas where people typically look for second homes instead of cities and suburbs. This could be another factor impacting the area in the coming year. Perhaps South Lake Tahoe will also be the most popular place of 2022.
