2011 Incline Village/Crystal Bay Market Report Single family home sales are down approximately 16.5% from 2010 to 2011 with only 96 sales reported by the MLS in 2011. Condominium sales are down approximately 6.25% from 2010 to 2011 with only 135 sales reported by the MLS in 2011. 2011 was mirroring 2010 sales through the first three quarters with a sharp drop off in sales in the last quarter leaving 2011 behind 2010 figures.   Since most of our buyers are discretionary buyers, the grid-lock in Washington in the last quarter delayed many purchasing decisions by buyers.   This may continue to be a significant factor in 2012 sales.  The median sold price for single family homes dropped approximately 8.1% from 2010 to 2011 with the MLS reporting a median sold price of $771,500 in 2011.... 01/15/2012

Trust is powerful..  Accept this fact:  YOU are an important person.  YOU are somebody.  YOU are unique and have talents and abilities only you can use.  YOU were created to be a success.  TRUST is a key part of you.  Not trusting is contradictory to your life's purpose.  You believe in yourself and you will count on your skills to give and receive trust.  It's not much different than hitting the bullseye.  You either do or you don't, you either are or you are not. 1.  Make a Trust list of your past experiences and accompishments, your trust successes.  I take mine back to my childhood.  I listed the events that I remember had tremendous trust attached.  Trust in my teachers, trust as part of school play, part time jobs, athletic events.  Trust in family and friends.

  Winterizing Your Vacation Home Winterizing your vacation home, or preparing it for any off season, helps minimize the dangers your retreat might face while you’re away. Here’s how: •Clean your vacation home’s gutters so that rain water drains away from the house quickly. •Pruning tree limbs that hang over your home or nearby utility lines can help lessen damage during winter wind and ice storms. •Drain water from all outside hoses. Cover all outside faucets with insulation if you’ll be away from your vacation home during cold months. •Close the swimming pool or hire a professional to do it. •If you can reach it safely, disconnect your home’s small satellite dish and store it indoors. •Store lawn furniture, grills, tools, and other items inside. If that isn’t possible, cover with plast... 12/01/2011
