There are four areas with a high concentration of Fractional Ownerships in our market that account for most of the sales each year. They are Old Greenwood and Northstar in the Truckee market, and Sweetbriar and Tonopalo in the North Tahoe market. Northstar and Tonopalo generally have higher prices and usually account for the majority of the dollar volume of total sales. Old Greenwood usually has the highest number of units sold but also the lowest total dollar volume. Sweetbriar sales are very inconsistent year to year. Scattered throughout our market are some individual Fractional Ownership condominiums and single family homes that from time to time have shares listed for sale. Those range in price with a few between $30,000 to $85,000 and then many priced above $250,000.
