Let's review the Reno-Sparks real estate market, comparing month over month activity from August to September 2017, and comparing year-over-year to September 2016.

According to the Reno Sparks Association of Realtors, the Median Sold Price for single family homes and condos in the Reno/Sparks area decreased by 2.3% to $318,750 through September.

2. Clean Windows. Get the grime of summer off your windows with a combination of vinegar and dish soap for an eco-friendly solution. Or hire a pro if doing it yourself isn't an option. Winter days mean we have…
