Stunning lakefront real estate in Incline Village with mountain views and luxury homes

🏡 Why Buying a Second Home in Incline Village Is Smarter Than You Think

Lake Tahoe Cole Mizak October 29, 2025

A Local Realtor’s Take on the Financial & Lifestyle Upside

As the #1 Incline Village real estate agent for 2025, I get this question all the time: “Is it worth buying a second home in Incline Village?” My answer? Absolutely — and not just for the views.

Buying a second home in Incline Village isn’t just about owning a slice of paradise on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. It’s a smart move for your lifestyle and your long-term wealth. Whether you're after a mountain escape, a savvy investment, or both — here's why now is the time to act.


💵 The Financial Upside

1. Tax Advantages

Incline Village is located in Nevada — a no state income tax state. That means if you're a business owner, remote worker, or high-net-worth individual, moving your primary residence here (or spending enough time) can lead to major tax savings.

Even as a second home, you can deduct mortgage interest and property taxes, depending on how you structure your ownership.

2. Rental Income Potential

Vacation rentals are in high demand here year-round. Whether it's summer lake-goers or winter skiers, Incline Village homes for sale can generate strong short-term rental income. Many of my clients offset their ownership costs by renting their homes when they're not in town.

3. Appreciation and Scarcity

Inventory in Incline Village is tight — and that's not changing. With strict development regulations and limited lakefront property, demand consistently outpaces supply. If you're looking at Incline Village homes for sale as a long-term asset, expect value growth, not volatility.


🏞️ The Lifestyle Benefits

1. Year-Round Recreation

Incline Village offers a rare mix — ski slopes in the winter, boating in the summer, and world-class hiking and biking all year. It’s not just a place to visit — it’s a place to live.

2. Luxury Meets Community

From championship golf courses and spas to low-key coffee shops and lakefront trails, Incline has it all. It's upscale without the pretense — and the community here is one-of-a-kind.

3. Work-Life Balance, Redefined

Remote work has changed the game. More of my clients are splitting time between cities and Tahoe — or making Incline Village their full-time home base. With high-speed internet and top-tier amenities, it's a practical paradise.
