Let’s take a look at Median Price and Days on Market trends over the past 6 months for single family homes in the greater Reno-Sparks area.
At the end of November, the median home price for the Reno-Sparks region stagnated its decline from the summer months remaining about the same as it was in October at $310,000. This price is still 5.6% higher than it was at this time last year which continues a trend of growth in the long run. Strong demand for housing, low mortgage rates and healthy job growth in the region will continue to drive median price up over the long term, especially in the most affordable price ranges.
The Average Days on Market continued to rise through November. An increase of 5 days or 5.5% was seen since October which marks an increase of 22.8% since the near record low of 79 in June. We expect the Days on Market to experience the typical seasonal increase now through early next year, as me move through the holiday season and winter months.
Why should this information matter to you? For sellers in price ranges below $500,000, the low inventory and high demand make this a great time to talk to a Dickson Realty agent about why you should consider selling now.
For buyers, mortgage rates are expected to remain low for the very near term, but an expected rate increase at the Federal Reserve is on the horizon. How that ultimately impacts mortgage rates is yet to be seen, but the current low rates cannot continue forever.
