Truckee has the hottest real estate market in the country

According to this article in Fox Business News Martis Camp, a premiere real estate community with a private members-only lift into  Northstar-At-Tahoe Resort is the most successful real estate market in the country for 2009.

Real estate sales totaled $35,000,000 in 2009, with the majority of purchasers being from the San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California. This is welcome news for our local economy.

Maybe others will catch the drift that this is the best place in the world to live, or at own a home and pretend to live for a little while.

Happy Holidays!

The market is bad when people are foreclosing on free homes…

This article came out today in Yahoo TV Blog. It seems that that the Wofford family of Encinitas, California are in foreclosure of their house that they built 5 years ago. They reportedly are the 6th family to lost their home after having it built by the tv show’s crew. What a bummer! As if the reason they earned the home isn’t tragic enough.

I guess access to our home’s equity is generally not a good idea to tap into.
