Now let’s take a quick look at the Reno/Sparks housing market and compare June 2015 with June 2014.
Dickson Realty Market Trends- Market News July 16, 2015 from Dickson Realty on Vimeo.
Sales in June 2015 were up 10.1% from June of last year, making it one of the best months for home sales on record. The number of homes sold this month was exceeded only by June of 2005.
Median Sales Price continues to steadily increase, with an 11.4% gain from June 2014 to June 2015. This is excellent news for sellers.
Contributing to the record sales pace is the exceptionally low 30-year fixed interest rate, which for June was down .18% from last year.
Inventory, which is down 4.1% from last June is also partially responsible for the increase in Median Sales Price.
A surprise to many, is the increase in new listings taken during the month. Although down from May, June’s 720 new listings was up 6.5 % from June 2014. This and the low interest rates should make buyers in the market pretty happy.
Finally, the Days on Market to sell a home was down 6%, indicating that properties are selling quicker than they were last year.
