RSAR obtains its information from the Northern Nevada Regional Multiple Listing Service.
During the month of February, RSAR saw…
The median home price stood at $450,000.
The median price rose less than 1 percent from January to February.
Transaction activity remains stable but remains below pre-pandemic levels.
“The slowing rate of price increases for existing single-family homes is creating opportunities, especially for buyers who want to lock in today’s very low mortgage interest rates,” said Gary MacDonald President of the Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS®.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought greater interest among homebuyers looking for home offices or space for a home gym. Now the question is whether this interest will remain as things return to normal.
