There are a number of factors that may have contributed to the increase in home values in Squaw Valley over the past few years. First and foremost is likely the strong economy which has led to increased demand for housing throughout California and nationwide. Additionally, Squaw Valley is located within close proximity to some of California's most prestigious ski resorts - including Heavenly and Northstar - which may also have contributed to increased demand for property in this area. Finally, Squaw Valley has been designated as a "Goldilocks Zone" by Forbes magazine - meaning that it possesses all the key elements necessary for luxury living without being too expensive or too modest for average earners. This combination may be particularly appealing to buyers who are looking for a location that offers both high-end amenities and reasonable prices.

Despite these positive trends, there are still some areas where caution should be exercised when making purchasing decisions based on home values alone. For example, while prices in Squaw Valley have increased significantly over recent years, incomes have not kept pace with inflation rates meaning that many potential buyers may find themselves unable to afford a property at current prices without taking on substantial debt obligations or relying on outside sources of financial support (such as family members). Additionally, although Goldilocks Zone designation may be an advantage when it comes to finding properties that meet your specific needs and desires without breaking the bank, it does not mean that every property available within this category will be ideal - so buyer beware!
