RESEARCHING THIS MARKET AREA
Because Realtors from 3 different counties and MLS systems work in this area the only way to find out what is totally on the market is go to Realtor.com and search your price at zip code 15622. Be aware that many of these properties are rented on the weekend, so call first and don’t drive up unless you know the property can be shown. Good Realtors in this area are usually scheduled a week out, so don’t expect someone to take you out without an appointment. For safety sake most agents will want to meet you at the office instead of the property. Don’t be surprised if you insist to meet at the property that there may be a request for a copy of your drivers license PRIOR to the appointment.

SOUTHWIND
Southwind is the newest community at Seven Springs. This community of slightly over 100 homes is being built around Lake Tahoe near the top of the slopes. Offering ski in and ski out slope access, the average starting price for one of these homes was over $500K. All of the 52 units of Phase 1 are sold and all of the 54 units of Phase 2 are sold. We are now starting to see resales in this community. Home owners who rent their properties report excellent occupancy rates over ski season.
THE VILLAGES AT SEVEN SPRINGS
The Villages will be your choice if you want a home that lets you ski from your back deck. Consisting of several communities of town homes and condos, many are right at the top of the slopes, but not all. Resales, but no new construction is available in this area and these properties sell fast, especially with ski access. If you want a home in this area you should be prepared to decide quickly, as some prime homes list and sell fast. If you are new to this market area do your research for an aggressive approach. We recommend you also look carefully at the Hidden Valley Resort, as prices are about 70% for the same floor space as here. If ski out or living at the slopes is what you want, here is where you want to be.
SWISS MOUNTAIN
Swiss Mountain, a community of 305 town homes and condos built in the 80’s, is a very beautiful community with lush landscaping and rhododendrons. The community has been completed for several years and resales are available. If you plan on living at this resort we suggest you consider this area. The landscaping is the best, you don’t get the slope side renters, and it is quieter than the Villages. If you plan on downsizing and living here, this is a good choice.
MT. VILLAS AT SEVEN SPRINGS
The Mountain Villas, a community built on the edges of the Seven Springs Golf Course, is the first choice for summer and golfer visitors. This community was built in the 60’s and 70’s and offers 113 condos from 1 to 5 bedrooms. These properties are all condos and have shuttle service to the main lodge. If you are summer and golf oriented this is your best choice. The back of most of these homes abuts a forest and offers privacy and seclusion. You are a good 7 iron at best from the golf course, and prices are the lowest at this resort for this community. This area is the buyer’s best market.
