Top ten deals have been updated once again!
Click on our Top Ten Deals link to see further information on any of the properties listed below
There are quite a few affordable entry level homes and potential smaller second homes that have come on the market as bank owned in the past week. Our focus is again on those bank owned homes and short sale deals but those are where the deals are at primarily these days and so we like to draw attention to those! Of course, if you have more specific needs in different price ranges we can set up an automatic update with the price range that meets your criteria, so all new listings and price reductions are automatically sent to you.
Thanks for watching,
Michelle & Colleen

Al Tahoe Neighborhood Profile
September 4, 2008
This centrally located neighborhood of South Lake Tahoe is one of the oldest. Mostly older cabins and homes are interspersed with some newer homes in this highly sought after area. Al Tahoe is adjacent to Regan Beach and a meadow. It is located close enough to Heavenly and Stateline to make it an easy walk if you desire but it also has the forest and beach feel even though it is in the center of town.
