Celebrate the Holiday Season in Tahoe & Pray for Snow!

Incline Village & Crystal Bay Real Estate marketing Update | December 11, 2025

As twinkling lights multiply and brighten our mountain town a festive energy fills the air, the magic of the Holiday season is officially in Tahoe. Though we’re heading into a dry winter so far, the community is keeping spirits high - and praying for snow - as we look ahead with hope. With the possibility of snow in the forecast next week, there’s no better time to come together, celebrate, and welcome the season with open hearts.

One of the most anticipated festivities this year is the Jingle & Mingle Community Event, where neighbors, families, and visitors will gather for an evening of warmth, creativity, and holiday cheer.  This heartwarming holiday gathering is open to the public, so bundle up, bring your holiday spirit, and get ready to sip, savor, shop, and socialize! A joyful opportunity to connect with the community while embracing the magic of the season, even as we pray for fresh powder on the mountain.

Tahoe Gifting and Inside Incline invite you to catch live music with DJ Hardy, savor a special tasting menu from Paxton’s Lake Tahoe (formerly Austin’s), express yourself with ornament making, sip spirits from Minden Mill Distilling, and enjoy shopping specials including savings on laser engraving for that “must have” personalized gift.  

As we celebrate the season and keep our hopes high for fresh snowfall, it’s also an exciting time to explore what’s happening across the Incline Village and Crystal Bay real estate market. Just as quickly as winter weather can shift, the market has shown its own burst of energy—jumping from 4 to 10 closed escrows in a single week. This kind of movement is a strong sign that both buyers and sellers are engaging more confidently as the year-end approaches.

With this week's federal rate drop, there’s an additional buzz around the potential for lower mortgage rates in our future. While this shift is promising, it's important to remember that mortgage rates won’t change overnight. They’re influenced by broader financial markets—particularly the bond market—which takes time to adjust to federal policy changes. As these shifts settle in, we may begin to see more favorable borrowing conditions take shape in the weeks or months ahead.

For now, the market shows healthy signs of activity, and the community remains optimistic—about real estate, about winter weather, and about all the possibilities the season brings. Here’s to a joyful holiday season and our current, local, real estate market.
