It is typical this time of year to see the number of sales start to decrease. The median sold price for single family homes in Reno/Sparks decreased by 1% to $395,000 in September. Despite the monthly decrease, our regional median price is up by 6% year over year. “Median” means “in the middle”, so half of homes sold for less and half sold for more. An annualized upward trend in median price is expected for the foreseeable future. The Average Days on Market for homes sold decreased by 1% to 85 days over the last month. Last year at this time, days on market was nearly 12% lower at 76 days.
