Hey Everyone

Hi all. I’m looking to purchase something in week 26-34 in Tahoe. On most of the resale sites these go for around 20k however it looks like one sold on here last month for around 10k. Was there something different with that sale or would you say 10k is kind of the number I should be looking...
