2006 REAL ESTATE MARKET IN REVIEW

2006 was and interesting year for the real estate market. Everyone has heard about the declining marketplace throughout the United States and it is true- many place have substantially slowed down; however, we do still have people moving to the Carson Valley. Sure homes are staying on the market for longer and we are not seeing the high appreciation rates compared to the previous 5 years, but we expect our market to stay strong.

We recently completed a market analysis comparing the sales from 2005 to the sales from 2006 for the Foothill/Genoa area. There was a decrease in the number of homes sold, but the average sold price has increased. Here is a brief overview:

            #HOMES SOLD       AVG. days on market        HIGH  $               LOW $            AVG $

2006    43                                206                              $6,950,000            $499,000   $1,086,792
