Summary: October home sales in Washoe County are the fourth highest home sales for an October in history and outpaces October 2010 by 15 percent. This is the first month where the year-over-year comparison is not influenced by the tax credit incentives, thus a positive sign that sales remain healthy. Also, we have seen only moderate fluctuations in median price for the past seven months. With the majority of new listings entering the market at the under $150,000 and a majority of sales occuring in this same price range, we are cautiously optimistic that prices are at the bottom. Reno/Sparks Median Sales Price October 2011 median price was down 1% to $148,500 compared to $150,000 in September 2011. Median price is defined as the mid-point, where, for the time period identified, the pric...

  Reno-Sparks Homes and Real Estate Summary: Washoe County sales are the highest they have been for an August since August 2005. The median sales prices are up and continue to settle indicates we may just be at the bottom. Market conditions, of course, will continue to be influenced by high unemployment. Although there are media reports of a 'double dip' recession, the current median sales price and historic low interest rates make this a good time to buy, especially for those that have been on the fence! Reno-Sparks Homes Median Sales Price August 2011 median price was up 2.7% to $154,000 compared to $150,000 in August 2011 Median price is defined as the mid-point, where, for the time period identified, the price for one-half of the sales are higher and one half are lower.

Friday Photos ~ A Sandcaslte Soiree in Sparks, Nevada! Really??   It might be hard to imagine an event like this one in Sparks, Nevada, but last weekend we were lucky enough to have three of the top professional sandcastle builders at the Sparks Marina building and creating in the sand. This event was sponsored by the City of Sparks and coincides with Reno's Artown that is happening all over Reno and Sparks. John Woodworth, William Dow and Bert Adamseach created a nautical themed sandcastle. They weren't quite finished when I stopped by so I am sure their finished creation was simply amazing. These photos were taking after on a few hours work on each sculpture.  The Sandcastle Soiree is just another fabulous Sparks, Nevada family fun event!
