“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.”
