Market Report – DOM and Median Price – Reno/Sparks
Home. It has never been so important. And, the strong demand for housing in the Reno/Sparks region is proving this statement true.
“Median” means “in the middle”, so half of homes sold for more and half sold for less. According to the Reno-Sparks Association of REALTORS, the regional median price increased from $432,320 to $439,750 from July to August. Our year-over-year median price is up by 10% and we expect the median price in the coming months to continue trending up at a manageable pace.
The Average Days on Market stayed fairly steady, decreasing slightly from 76 days to 75 days from July to August. Naturally, we experience a decrease in the number of days to sell a home this time of year. This is great for sellers, but represents challenges for buyers. If you are in the buying market, be sure to have your loan pre-approval completed before starting your search.
While real estate markets nationally have been impacted by the COVID crisis, we are still doing business. Each buyer or seller must evaluate what is best for them. Much of the work in real estate can be completed using technology and does not require that all meetings be face-to-face. We talk daily with our clients by phone, email and text as well as meet with them virtually.
