Buying real estate in Lake Tahoe isn’t like buying anywhere else.

Incline Village and Crystal Bay are true micro-markets—with limited inventory, seasonal shifts, environmental restrictions, and price points that can move by millions of dollars based on just a few transactions.

In this video, we sit down with Grant Meyer (https://grant-meyer.cbselectre.com/), one of the top-producing Realtors in Incline Village, a 35+ year Tahoe resident, and a full-time real estate professional with nearly two decades of experience navigating this unique market. Grant consistently sells tens of millions of dollars in real estate every year and is widely known among agents for getting deals done—and getting his clients exceptional results.

We’re also joined by Bryan, our business partner, who has worked closely with Grant for many years helping buyers successfully finance homes in one of the most complex real estate environments in the country.

In this conversation, we cover:

- Why Lake Tahoe is a true real estate micro-market.
- How inventory, seasonality, and timing impact prices.
- Common (and costly) mistakes buyers make in Tahoe.
- Why local expertise matters more here than almost anywhere else.
- What buyers should understand heading into 2026.
- How the right Realtor + lender team protects both lifestyle and investment.

If you’re considering buying a primary home, second home, or investment property in Lake Tahoe, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
