Lake Tahoe’s Tallac House from ‘The Bodyguard' Lists for $8M
Submitted by paula on Fri, 03/27/2015 - 2:40pm
In a scene from 1992’s “The Bodyguard,” Kevin Costner‘s character, hired to protect the music star played by Whitney Houston, runs down a snowy wooden pier and dives into the water to rescue a boy from a boat just before it explodes. (Cue a Houston ballad.)
Off the silver screen, that same 76-foot-long pier and the property attached to it are known in real life as Tallac House, which just listed for $7,995,000 in South Lake Tahoe, CA.
The insanely ornate, all-wood, 3,000-square-foot house has had its Hollywood close-up. Twice. More on that in a moment.

In the last 30 days, 12 California homeowners withdrew their Lake Tahoe homes for sale off the market. On the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, 4 homeowners pulled their homes off the market during the same period.
Median Price Going Up
Lake Tahoe Home Sales: Is it a Buyer's Market or a Seller's Market?
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 09/19/2012 - 9:43pmThe median home prices of California homes sold reached a 4-year high in August according to the California Association of Realtors. In their August sales report released this week, CAR reports that home sales fell off slightly for the month but are maintaining a strong pace with 5 straight months of year over year sales gains.

Where to buy a Lake Tahoe home...Nevada or California?
Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 08/02/2012 - 2:54pm
Just a few years ago home buyers were choosing the Nevada side over the California side when looking for a Lake Tahoe home to purchase. Taxes were lower and schools were better so Nevada was more attractive. But is that still the feeling? There's good news, and bad news, depending on which neighborhood/state you're set on owning a home in.
