A November snapshot of real estate activity in the Reno / North Valleys sector shows a median home price of $485,000 and an active inventory of 290 homes.
RENO, Nev. — Northern Nevada’s blistering real estate market stayed hot in November, with median home prices in Reno sticking at a record-high $485,000 and the number of homes sold across the region continuing to see significant increases from a year ago.
In November, 550 existing single-family homes were sold across Greater Reno Sparks, an increase of 20.9% from November 2019 and a 12% decrease from October of this year, according to updated monthly statistics published Dec. 8 by the Reno-Sparks Association of Realtors.
Meanwhile, the median home price across Reno-Sparks was $453,750 in November, up 13.4% from last year and down less than 1% from October’s price of $455,000, which was a record-high.
Breaking things down by market, the median home price in Reno (including North Valleys) was $485,000, a 17% uptick from last year and unchanged from October (which was also a record high).
In Sparks (including Spanish Springs), the median price in November was $410,000, an increase of 11% from last year and a decline of less than 1% from the previous month’s price of $412,000, which again was a record high.
“Our region’s continued strong sales activity combined with a significant drop in new listings is creating a very strong sellers’ market,” Realtor Erika Lamb, 2020 president of RSAR, said in a Dec. 9 statement. “On average during November, homes were under contract only 34 days after they were listed for sale. There is a strong need for listings. Most sellers choose to wait till after the holidays to list for sale.
“With the low inventory, we encourage sellers to consider listing sooner.”
