“Rising mortgage interest rates clearly are beginning to cool the Reno-Sparks market,” said Sarah Scattini, president of the Reno/Sparks Association of Realtors. “We are seeing a return to more normal market conditions after the frenzied activity of recent months.”

The month of June saw closed transactions down 30 percent from a year ago.
The inventory of homes available for purchase — 1,178 — was double last year’s level.
Homes were on the market a median of only 14 days before they were under contract.
