The single family home sale statistics for April 2011 dipped down a bit from March 2011.  Although the South Lake Tahoe Market has seen numbers move in a minor few directions we're happy to take notice that the average median sales price for homes within the total time frame of October 2010 to April 2011 (see below to the line charts) is higher than the actual monthly average, signaling a potential uptick in values.  To back this up, there has been an increase in percentage of the median price in the most recent 2 months after a period of months in minor decline; sold prices are averaging higher dollar amounts for the last 4 consecutive months and average days of homes on the market has dropped consecutively for the last 3 months.
