Summer in Tahoe! Now is the time to buy or sell a home!
I have just listed a sweet home at Donner Lake. If you’re unfamiliar with this area, it has Donner Memorial State Park at one end and West End Beach at the other. In between are many public piers for year round enjoyment.
It’s close to all of the ski areas on Donner Summit and has easy access to I-80. This area is considered part of Truckee, and ‘downtown’ is a quick ride on Donner Pass Road to restaurants, shops and groceries. The local bus can practically pick you up at your door. Well, almost…but you get the gist.
Located at 13600 Donner Pass Road, the home is on a sunny lot, close to Sticks Market and Donner Kitchen Restaurant.
2 Bedroom 1 Bath 720 Square Feet
Asking Price: $270,000
Cottage style home across from Donner Lake. Close to public piers and enjoying the lake. Property has natural gas heat and gas woodstove. Laminate flooring throughout. Utility room has laundry and good storage. Electrical panel has been upgraded, exterior was painted in June. Large backyard is fenced. Great location for cycling into town for shopping, events and downtown Truckee.

We’ve talked about this subject before, but as pictures say a thousand words, we thought we’d show you what we’re talking about! So many folks, especially second homeowners, just want to sell and be done with it, preferably without sinking any time or money into the property to do it. To be appealing to potential buyers and to sell your home quickly, a little elbow grease and a few well spent dollars can make a world of difference. The home below sold in a matter of days!
Staging your home can take a mediocre property from ok to Wow! … and a nicer property from Wow! to Spectacular!!!

Living Room – After

As we’ve written previously, a house with too much furniture and clutter not only is uninviting, but makes a house seem smaller than it actually is. Inversely, a house with rundown furnishings or no furnishings makes a home feel cold and unappealing as well. Buyers often have a hard time envisioning themselves living in what is currently someone else’s home. Do them (and yourself) a favor and help them see themselves in the home you are selling. There are a number of Lake Tahoe and Truckee local Interior Design businesses and retail shops that specialize in staging, often drawing from some of their showroom pieces as temporary rentals.
Think of it like choosing a restaurant. You certainly want to be there for the quality of the food, but ambiance can play a big part in your enjoyment of the meal. In fact, ambiance can turn a restaurant with OK fare into something special. And so it is with a house. Staging can make it appear better than it may actually be. Playing up your home’s strengths will help distract from some of its shortcomings.
Kitchen – BEFORE
Kitchen – AFTER
Not only does adding accessories and little pops of color add visual interest to a drab, lifeless room, don’t negate the power of good, professional photography to bring a space to life. Note that the only thing done to the dated kitchen above is the addition of tasteful and current yellow accessories and great lighting.
