Home buyers are focusing on lakefront properties in the Lake Tahoe Basin.

“Lakefronts have outperformed other sectors of the Tahoe basin market this year as compared with 2013,” Linda Granger with Granger Group, Alain Pinel Realtors said in a statement.

In  July, five homes on the California side sold for more than $2 million — all were lakefront. One was the highest priced home sold in the Tahoe-Sierra MLS this summer at $9.25 million. That six-bedroom, seven-and-a-half bath home with 120-feet of lakefront property and private pier including boat lift
is in Carnelian Bay.

On the other side of the lake in Homewood a $2.575 million house was originally built in the 1920s. It is a remodeled three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath, lakefront home with a private buoy, shared pier and boat lift.
