The numbers are in and sales for single family homes are down for the 1st half of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. It seems there are lots of buyers on the sidelines looking for good deals, and weakening sales prices offer more opportunities, especially if you know which sellers are motivated.

The median price for an Incline Village home sank to $1,042,500, down 13% from the median price in the first half of 2007 at $1,200,000. The average price was down 17% to $1,419,464 from $1,708,492 in 2007. (Based on data I compiled from the Incline Village MLS, EXCLUDING PUD’s).

Officials and residents, alike, anticipated this fire season would be a dangerous one, and such a massive fire so early in the season has proved this fear a reality. The annual May 1 snow survey recorded only…
