I want to assure you, during these difficult times, that we at RE/MAX Realty Affiliates are making sure to take the necessary precautions in order to reduce the risk of spreading the coronavirus. So, what are we doing? First off, our office is now operating “by appointment only”. In addition, those who do enter the property are required to answer the following four health status questions first:

In addition, all showings of our listings—with the sellers’ consent—are requiring the following occur prior to entering a the home:

We of course are also practicing “social distancing” and disinfecting surfaces as much as possible. We are driving separate cars to showings, and are not hosting open houses until further notice.

This is such a rapidly evolving situation, but if we work together we can all get through this. Stay healthy!

Tax season is upon us! Once you’ve filed, you may find that some spring cleaning is in order. Our annual office Shred Event for our preferred clients is scheduled for Saturday, April 18, from 9 am to 12 pm this year—so make sure to save the date! Prevent identity theft by securely shredding your outdated bank statements, bills, legal agreements and other personal documents.

We will also be hosting a donation drive at the same time for the Douglas County Animal Shelter. You can bring dog and cat food (canned and dry), cat litter, cleaning supplies, hard toys, treats, etc. to the RE/MAX office during the Shred Event. I look forward to seeing you there!

With large companies like Tesla and Panasonic making their way to Reno, plus the added benefit of no state income tax, the area’s real estate market has been booming. In fact, according to this article from the Reno Gazette Journal, it’s set to be one of the 15 hottest markets for the next decade.

This sounds like great news for the area, but there is also a downside. Many are worried that due to rising median home prices and incomes that have failed to keep pace, the area could begin to see affordability issues similar to many areas in California.

According to the article from RGJ, “The city of Reno recently launched a program called “1,000 Homes in 120 Days” to help spur construction of more dense “missing middle” housing such as townhomes and condominiums by delaying development fees.” Only time will tell if the housing supply will be able to keep up with the demand.

Khristopher’s Café has recently moved from their Mica Drive location in Indian Hills to Downtown Minden. They are now housed in the old Minden Food Co. building at 1599 Esmeralda Ave. Their menu, according to this Record Courier article, will remain unchanged—offering the home-style Italian cuisine patrons have come to expect.

In addition to the new location, the restaurant is hoping to add music and dancing to its offerings. “During dinner hour more classic jazz, with more of the crooner style during the early dinner hour,” said Manager Chris Burns to the Record Courier. After dinner stops being served around 9pm, the restaurant will transition to more of a club atmosphere.

Kristopher’s is open 7 days a week. For more details and to check out the menu, head over to their website.

According to this article from the Record Courier, “Edgewood Tahoe Resort was named 2019 hotel of the year in the United States and Canada by Preferred Hotels & Resorts.”

Nestled along the shoreline of beautiful Lake Tahoe, the Edgewood offers fine dining, luxurious rooms and suites at the newly-constructed (2017) Lodge, an 8500 sq.ft. spa, and an acclaimed 18-hole golf course. No detail has been left unnoticed at this awe-inspiring resort—a beautiful addition to the beautiful area that is Lake Tahoe.

The county commissioners recently approved zoning for a 75-home development north of Genoa. The development project, Genoa Shares, was originally denied in January. Still up in the air, according to this March 7th Record Courier article, “is whether those homes will be single owner or developed as tourist commercial.” Check out the article for more details.

North Sails, a world-renowned sail-making company, just so happens to have 2 manufacturing facilities right here in the Carson Valley. According to their website, “Minden is the flagship center for creating 3-Dimensional products (3Di^TM and 3DL^TM, unique to North Sails), which have revolutionized the sport and become market leaders due to their durability and performance.”

The Minden North Sails products are sent all over the world.  In fact, in the 2017-2018 Volvo Ocean Race, which spans over 45,000 nautical miles, every single boat in the race used sails manufactured in Minden (Source: The Record-Courier).  North Sails was the official supplier of the 2017 America’s Cup as well.

Minden North Sails employs up to 130 people and has the capacity to produce 18,000 sails per year.  We’re proud to have such an innovative and world-renowned company manufacturing its products here. Just another great reason to live in the Carson Valley!
