Today, Gardnerville is a thriving community in the heart of the beautiful Carson Valley on the eastern slope of the beautiful Sierra Nevadda Mountains.  Its location is ideal for both the nature lover and the more suburban at heart: The splendor of Lake Tahoe is just a short drive up Kingsbury Grade to the west and just minutes from the State Capitol ... Carson City ... and, the divorce capitol ... Reno ... to the north.                 The Town of Gardnerville was founded in 1879 by Lawrence Gilman of Genoa when he moved the Kent House from the Genoa area to a 7-acre tract of land on the East Fork of the Carson River. Gilman had purchased the land from a homesteader, John M. Gardner, in whose honor he named the new town. Gardnerville's weather is pleasant throughout its distinctly diff...

Chambers Field is a close-in collection of neighborhoods east of Highway 88 and South of 395, west of the much larger subdivision known as the Gardnerville Ranchos. This area was historically used as ranching lands and dairies, but in recent years has been developed into small master-planned neighborhoods among the remaining rural sections. Those residing in Chambers Field enjoy incredible year around views of the Sierra Nevada mountains and panoramic views of ranching and agricultural fields. Within Chambers Field, there are several subdivisions, each with their own style, feel and characteristics. Pleasantview was the first of the neighborhoods built in this area and it features mature landscaping. Most homes are located on 1/3 acre lots, many have enclosed RV parking as part of the h...

We haven't seen an offer ... should we advertise in California?   We've heard this question many times over the years and our answer is still NO with much more emphasis.  We have advertised in the L.A. Times, San Jose Mercury, Portland Oregonian, Sacramento Bee, Seattle Times, etc. over the years with the same results - it is very expensive and yields zero results.  It is a natural thought that such advertising would pan out, after all those are large population bases that feed our market.  The question becomes ... would you look in the Record Courier or the Nevada Appeal for a property in Los Angeles?  If you are looking to move to Denver wouldn't you get a copy of the newspaper from Denver to check out the market?  That is in fact what happens.  We have many people planning to move to...

  Megan Gebhardt is a fellow REALTOR, a friend, and a huge horse advocate in our community.  This abandonment is just the latest to occur in our small community, I believe it, unfortunately, may be just a sample of what is in store for these poor animals and the wonderful people who try to help them.  As economic strings tighten, it is increasingly harder to feed and house large animals and some poor folks are faced with turning their equines loose rather than watch them starve.  The sad reality is that these domestics aren't fit for survival in the wild and search and seek out the more familiar habitat of local ranches rather than head for the hills!  A recent rescue was well documented ...  Starving horses getting stronger ... Rescued horses at home in Fish Springs ... Starving horse...

I'd really like to know which "Pay for Referral" services AR Members have found to be valuable and worth the cost and which services are Shams and Rip-offs! I recently joined Reply.com ... a referral service that gathers leads and sends them out to agents in the local areas for a fee.  It sounded wonderful ... the theory is.  Yet, what I have found is that the leads are gathered from a huge variety of sites and many of them aren't really viable real estate leads.   One example ... I received a referral from Reply that was a friend of mine and a local agent who works for another office. I don't think she will buy or sell from me so, of course, I declined the lead.   Two leads were homes already listed; one was a man who logged into a site promising they would buy his home.  He got mad at...

Greetings - In the town of Gardnerville, there is a newer development called Stodick Estates South that precludes ANY KIND OF FOR SALE SIGN on a property for sale (that includes street signs and window signs) until the builder (H&S Construction) has completed construction and sale of all new homes.  In this market, this is taking longer than once anticipated.  This restriction is written explicitly into the CCRs and will not be waived (believe me I've tried). This creates obvious problems for home sellers who are trying to get maximum exposure for their property.  It also creates a problem for home buyers who may want to cruise the neighborhood to see what is for sale, etc. I've put together a page on my site that always displays the current Stodick Estates South Homes for Sale in Gardn...

Hi Northern Nevada Neighbors,      This is a new feature of my Active Rain Localism blog -- a place for local folks to read about my listings that have sold!  This was a fabulous 32 year old home in the Ranchos in Douglas County.  Definitely a nice neighborhood.  At 1,080 sq. ft., with 3-bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this was a bargain for the buyer.  A ranch style home on a half-acre lot, this home had a 2 car garage, all the specialty rooms a family could want, a fenced yard, patio/balcony, spa/hot tub, dog run, and a lot more -- plus the great Rasner-Yacenda price in the "Market that's Not Supposed to be Very Good!"  Check it out, you'll be impressed what this buyer found among my listings!  And remember: I HAVE THE LISTINGS THAT SELL BECAUSE I HAVE GREAT BUYS!Check it out right here!Pro...

Happy Halloween! I feature a category on my primary blog which is all about New Home NEWS in the Reno-Tahoe area.  This is useful information for home buyers, especially if out of the area and not 'plugged into' local advertising. I just put up a post for "featured homes" from Syncon Homes who builds new homes in Reno, Minden, Gardnerville, and Dayton NV.  Syncon Homes is offering big price reductions on selected models that are part of their "standing inventory".  The savings can be as much as $60,000 on some models. The offer is time sensitive and Syncon Homes will 'rotate' different homes through about every other week.  This set that I posted is good until 11-11-07. I hope this finds its way to interested parties!  Check Back Again - Mitch

GARDNERVILLE, MINDEN, GENOA and TOPAZ LAKEThis beautiful high-desert area is set against the eastern slope of the Sierra, and is completely diverse in what it offers. It's historic, in the path of the Pony Express and home to Nevada's oldest settlement. The very mild climate brings nearly 300 sunny days a year. And, the Carson Valley is a lesser-known, slower-paced and convenient gateway to the Lake Tahoe area.Carson Valley RecreationIf it's not here, it's really close by. Just some of the popular activities include golf, gaming, horseback riding, fishing, mountain biking and road biking, hunting, trap shooting and four-wheeling. There are also day spas, museums, ballooning and gliders, flight schools, bowling alleys, movies theaters...even a winery. Only minutes away in the summertime,...

As for Statistical reporting, some very interesting numbers:In Douglas COunty since January there have been 1,385 properties listed for sale.  449 of those sold for a selling ratio of 32%.  26% of those listings expired.  Currently there are 772 homes on the market, with an average time on the market of over 170 days.  Sounds discouraging, right? At least for local agents and sellers it might.  But WAIT! the sale price to list price ratio remains strong at 96%!  Last week there were 11 total residential sales and those sales included low end properties, middle end properties and one over 1 million.  The average sale price in our county this year has been $391,000.So, if you are a local agent whining and crying about "no business" and "dire times", stop it.  Just get out there and work b...

A New Home in the Carson Valley about 20-minutes from Lake Tahoe.This is the last installment of our developing story about Jean, a new area homeowner than contacted us about five months ago through the recommendation of a friend and client. She recently closed the sale of her new Carson Valley home.Jean came to visit and preview homes once. From our emails to her, and our auto responders, she had a good idea of current market conditions and what she wanted to see.  We arranged accommodations for her when she came. This is something we often do as most all of our area buyers come from out of town.We showed Jean properties in the Minden / Gardnerville area, which is on the other side of the mountain from us, about a 20-minute drive from Lake Tahoe proper. There was a particular area that...
