SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Through the first 11 months of the pandemic, home sales in towns away from major cities have grown across the county, not just in South Lake Tahoe. Employees started working remotely and figured working in a place where traffic, crowds and home prices are greatly reduced, allowing them a nicer way of life, and in South Lake Tahoe s case, beautiful scenery surrounding them. What is also unique on the South Shore is the type of home buyer who made their way to Tahoe. Those buying homes are living in them and not using them strictly as an investment and vacation home.
