This is a nice item from the North Shore of Lake Tahoe. Sprucing up the parks is always a good civic thing for our natural resources.

In 1990, the state of Nevada came up with a master plan for its parks. This included a Visitor Center for Sand Harbor which would be one part museum, one part conference center and one part restaurant/venue for sundry items.

That was 17 years ago.

Friday, that dream on Tahoe's East Shore became a reality as Gov. Jim Gibbons was on-hand to cut the ceremonial ribbon and officially open the $5.1 million, 5,000-square-foot Visitor's Center overlooking the giant sunbleached boulders and pristine blue waters of the Nevada side of the lake.

It looks like an interesting year ahead in 2007 for the Incline Village real estate market. Affectionately called 'The Riviera of Lake Tahoe', this cozy community on the north east shore is a standout when it comes to short, medium and long term real estate investing. Why are prices continuing to move up here while the rest of America stumbles?

To get an insight into why Incline Village real estate continues to show solid upward gains while the most of the country is licking their wounds, we need to analyze the current inventory for sale, the asking and sale prices for the past three years and the trends that are occurring. Bear in mind that there is a finite supply of homes and condos with virtually no raw land left for development and an increasing demand by the 40 to 70 crowd looking for their slice of heaven in the nicest community at Lake Tahoe.

It is important to look at not just median sale prices but also median asking prices over a long period of time so we can see trends in the market's direction. So, stick with me and follow the dates and numbers.

The beauty of Lake Tahoe will take your breath away. It is a fantastic place to visit, with resorts and developments that will please everyone.

The lake itself was formed by the rise and fall of faults about 5 to 10 million years ago. This created a deep valley that was blocked on the north-eastern side by lava from an eruption of Mt. Pluto approximately 2 million years ago. According to geologists, the initial height of Lake Tahoe was 600 feet higher than its present level.

Today the lake itself stretches across the Nevada-California border, 59 miles southwest of Reno and 100 miles northeast of Sacramento.
