⏱️ Average Days on Market: 18 DOM

📍What does this mean for the Truckee market?

The summer market is gaining momentum, and buyers are actively competing for new inventory. Homes that are priced correctly are moving quickly, with an average of just 18 days on market. Sellers are also seeing strong results, as homes are selling for nearly full asking price on average.

These numbers indicate a healthy and active market, especially compared to the slower pace we often see during the winter months. As more buyers arrive in Truckee for the summer season, demand continues to support strong pricing and quick sales.

Whether you’re considering buying, selling, or simply curious about your home’s value, staying informed about local market trends is key.

Set on one of the most desirable homesites in Old Greenwood, Greenside Estate backs directly to the 13th fairway of the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, with sweeping south-facing views stretching across the fairway to the slopes of Northstar California Resort. Positioned well back from the road, the home offers a rare sense of privacy while staying constantly connected to the outdoors.

Inside, dramatic two-story windows frame expansive golf course views and flood the home with natural light. Vaulted ceilings, real hardwood floors, Andersen double-pane windows and doors, and a clean open layout create a timeless, refined feel throughout.
The kitchen was thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a Mont Blanc honed leather slab island, Black Mist honed countertops, Jenn Air Professional appliances including a 36” range and double dishwashers, a custom powder-coated metal hood, Kohler semi-professional fixtures, custom cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry complete with a wine fridge and additional storage. A built-in display cabinet in the dining area adds another layer of functionality and style.

The primary suite feels like a private retreat with honed Italian tile, basalt Italian granite countertops, a freestanding soaking tub, and refined finishes throughout. Additional highlights include Heat & Glo high-efficiency fireplaces with blowers, alabaster lighting fixtures, integrated media with picture frame TVs, a bonus/game room, built-in bunk room, and a locked owner’s storage room for added convenience.
