RENO, Nev. — On July 9, the Reno/Sparks Association of Realtors released its 2018 second quarter and June 2018 reports on existing home sales in Washoe County, including median sales price and number of home sales in the region.
“June 2018’s inventory level is at a ten-year low of 924 single family units, while prices continue to rise,” said Doug McIntyre, 2018 RSAR president and a Realtor with Reno Property Management. “It’s not a bubble; lending practices are sound and FICO scores are holding. There is just no inventory, and that continues to drive pricing up, which is frustrating to buyers.”
Below is a breakdown of mid-year statistics (January 1 through June 30), as well as numbers for the second quarter (April-June) and for June 2018. RSAR obtains its information from the Northern Nevada Regional Multiple Listing Service (www.nnrmls.com). Go to www.rsar.net/news for updated market reports from RSAR.
