2018 Winter Olympics & Things to Do this Season in Truckee-Tahoe!

January 18, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

 
The 2018 Winter Olympics are fast approaching and some of the participating Olympians are lucky enough to call the Reno-Tahoe region their home – check them out below! 
 
The 1960 Winter Olympics at Squaw Valley put Truckee-Tahoe on the map as a destination for outdoor recreation. Tune into the 2018 Winter Olympics from February 9th – 25th! 
 
Mark Engel – Truckee Native
 
“I never forgot my first-ever ski race at Tahoe Donner,” Engel says. “I think I still have the trophy somewhere at my parents’ house.” – Mark Engel, Tahoe Donner News Magazine
 
Mark Engel – Alpine Ski Racer – a Truckee native, past Tahoe Donner resident and Sugar Bowl Ski Team athlete, has had flashes of success, including placing third in the first run of a World Cup slalom in Zagreb, Croatia.
 
The Olympic team will be announced on Monday, January 23rd. With his excellent World Cup results in the past few weeks, Mark should be a lock for the team. We are all excited to watch him represent his country and hometown of Truckee, CA. 
 
More Info
 
David Wise – Reno Native

Wise began ski racing at age 8. By 11, he was ranked among the top five in the state in both slalom and giant slalom as a member of the Alpine Meadows race team. David became the first Olympic gold medalist in men’s halfpipe skiing in Sochi in 2014. In an effort to defend that gold medal, Wise will be competing at the Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang 2018.

Maddie Bowman – South Lake Tahoe Native

With an Olympic gold medal and seven X Games medals, including four gold, Bowman is one of the most decorated female freeskiers in history. After winning her Olympic gold medal in 2014, Maddie knows a repeat performance in the women’s ski halfpipe will be challenging at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Games.

What to Expect from the Housing Market in 2018

The 2018 real estate market is a tight seller’s market and the 63.9% home-ownership rate will continue in a slight upward trend. Here’s what you should know about the housing market in 2018.

Buyers in 2018 should remain diligent and look out for new properties on the market, have financing in order, and work with attentive real estate agents who will help make an appealing offer on a house as there will more than likely be multiple offers.

Sellers in 2018 should remain enthusiastic about selling their property as home prices have continued to rise in recent years. The lack of new inventory spells opportunity for those who choose to sell, but will keep many would-be first-time buyers from jumping into homeownership due to stiff competition.
