Q3 2021 Incline Village Housing Update: What Happened and What’s Next

Incline Village Real Estate: Condos 

Condominiums offer buyers the opportunity to own real estate in Incline Village for less than the price of most single-family homes and with less maintenance. So, it’s easy to see why they’re one of the most popular segments of the market. Some buyers are looking for a place to lay their head at night after a big adventure, while others want a second home rather than a primary residence. Either way, condos offer the perfect solution. 

In Q3, the median price for a condo in Incline Village reached $846,750, about 6% higher than last quarter and 18% higher year-over-year. This graph also shows the number of available units decreased by about 18% from the previous year.

Could The Reno Sparks Real Estate Market Cool Off This Fall?

Written by Beau Keenan, Dickson Realty President

If you read our last blog on the “crazy” leaving the Reno Sparks real estate market, then you know that housing prices and supply are beginning to stabilize.

This stayed true in August 2021, when the market continued to shift from the beginning of the year. Active inventory is up, and the rate at which median prices are increasing is slowing, which many buyers will appreciate. While the median home price increased month-over-month, the rate of increase slowed to 1%—a decrease compared to June when we saw a more than 5% increase month-over-month.

We’re still experiencing an influx of cash buyers from people looking for homes and a better quality of life in Northern Nevada. With historically low…

Our local housing market has good news for buyers with another monthly increase in standing inventory to help meet the sustained high demand. Here are the latest statistics for the single-family home market in the Reno/Sparks area.

5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring Movers

I'm not sure anyone enjoys moving. Sure, moving into a new home is exciting.  You have a fresh canvas and new memories to be made. But the actual process of moving? It's just not pleasant. You can save yourself much of the hassle by hiring a professional moving company.
