The Reno/Sparks Association of Realtors said the median price of an existing family home was up 1.9 percent in November from October.
During November, RSAR saw…
• Sales activity slowed, and the number of closed transactions declined by more than 36 percent from the same month a year ago.
• Homes were on the market an average of 47 days before they were under contract, which compares with an average of 15 days on market a year earlier.
“Home sellers received, on average 97.4 percent of their asking price during November, a sign that the market has a solid foundation,” said Sarah Scattini, president of the Reno/Sparks Association of Realtors. “The inventory of homes on the market is enough to meet sales for three months, indicating a seller’s market. A balanced market has a four- to six-month inventory.”
