Moving is never a fun experience, but there are things that can make it more bearable. And moving all of your earthly belongings during a snowstorm is just plain miserable. Whether it's your schedule or the weather, many people find summer to be the best time to move. 

Plenty of Sun. On average, Reno has 252 days of sun each year. The national average is only 205 days of sun. That chance increases significantly during the summer months. If you're pulling a full day or weekend of moving, you'll get more daylight and less chance of wet weather during the summer. 

Kids Aren't in School. This might be the biggest reason why summer moves are most popular. Moving during the summer helps kids maintain their routines and gives them a chance to settle in…

You don’t need a huge yard to create a beautiful and low-maintenance garden. Whether your yard is more of a courtyard or you enjoy spacious acres, these easy garden ideas will inspire you to put on your gardening gloves.

As of April 29th, there were 964 single family homes available for purchase, which is over a 13% increase from the beginning of April. An even more sizable increase of 38% was realized since this time last year, providing needed relief to home buyers in our region. Sixty-nine percent of available homes are priced under $600,000.

For homes priced under $300,000, we only have about 18 days of inventory, and for homes in the range of $300,000 to $600,000, inventory is 2 months.
