Apricot Glazed Pork Tenderloin
What You’ll Need:
- ½ c. apricot preserves
- ¼ c. apple cider vinegar
- ¼ c. less sodium soy sauce, tamari for gluten-free
- 2 tsp honey
- 2 tsp minced fresh garlic
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 pork tenderloins, trimmed
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary leaves, or 1 ½ teaspoons dried
- 2 tsp water
- 2 tsp cornstarch
What To Do:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, combine the apricot preserves, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and garlic and whisk well to break up any clumps of preserves. Measure out and transfer ½ cup of the sauce to a small saucepan and reserve the remaining amount in the bowl. Set aside.
- Pat the two pork tenderloins dry with paper towels and sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper, and rosemary.
- Heat the oil in an oven-proof sauté pan or large skillet over MEDIUM-HIGH heat. Add the seasoned tenderloins to the pan and cook for 5 minutes or until well browned on one side. Flip the pork over and remove the pan from the heat. Pour the apricot sauce from the bowl over the top of the tenderloins.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and baste the tenderloins by spooning the sauce from the bottom of the pan over the top. Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 8 to 10 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 150 degrees and no more than 155 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, place the the saucepan with the apricot sauce over LOW heat. In a small bowl, stir together the water and cornstarch and pour it into the saucepan. Stir the sauce and cook just until thickened, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Remove the pork from the oven and brush with the thickened glaze. Let it rest for 10 minutes in the pan.
- Transfer the pork to a cutting board and slice into 1-inch medallions. Return the sliced pork to the skillet with the sauce. Plate the pork with a little sauce from the pan spooned over the top.
- Recommend serving with green beans or air-fried Brussels sprouts w/ bacon pieces and either roasted sweet potatoes or mashed potatoes. Sprinkle a little ground nutmeg on either the Brussels sprouts or the potatoes for a little added autumn flavor. 😉

August 2024 Market Report
** Data in the AUGUST 2024 Market Report reflect market activity from JULY 2024 compared to JULY 2023. Information is gathered from the Sierra Nevada Realtors ® (RSAR) for the Greater Reno-Sparks region via the Northern Nevada Regional Multiple Listing Service (www.nnrmls.com). Please contact me for reports in other areas of Northern Nevada or specific neighborhoods, and I will collect that information for you. Data in this report only accounts for single-family resale residences and excludes townhouses/condos and manufactured/modular.
As observed in the graph above, the “weekly” market data for the week ending July 6 shows a significant slow-down in median DAYS TO CONTRACT compared to properties that sold in June when DAYS to Contract were 8 in Reno-Sparks. The week ending July 6, the Days to Contract was 25.
The Months Supply of Inventory represents the number of months it would take to sell through the entire inventory in Reno-Sparks at the current sales rate is no new properties were added to the market. This statistic varies by price as seen in the graph below. A balanced market is 5-7 months supply. The luxury market, homes that are priced over $1.5M, are officially in a Buyer’s Market, with 7.5 Months Supply of Inventory in June 2024.
SUMMARY:
-
- Median Sales Price in Reno and Sparks (combined) increased slightly month-over-month from approximately $610,000 to $615,000… The July Median Sales Price was approximately 8% higher than July 2023.
- Single family homes in Reno-Sparks are taking nearly 3 times as long to obtain an acceptable offer compared to a few months ago, likely due to end-of-summer vacations and preparation for children returning to school.
- Great News on Mortgage Rates!! We have started to see a rates for qualified buyers drop as low as 6.375% (30 year fixed rate), the lowest rate yet in 2024.
- While rates are dropping, if you need to purchase I home, it may not be advantageous to “time” the rate drop. Lack of supply and continued demand continue to create upward pressure on prices, as indicated by the uptick in the Median Sales Price. Purchasing now, then refinancing to a lower rate in the future as rates drop more, may be a good option for you.

July 2024 Market Report
** Data in the JULY 2024 Market Report reflect market activity from JUNE 2024 compared to JUNE 2023.

The luxury market, homes that are priced over $1.5M, are officially in a Buyer’s Market, with 7.5 Months Supply of Inventory in June 2024.
SUMMARY:
-
- Compared to June last year, the Median Sales Price in Reno and Sparks (combined) increased from approximately $596,000 to $610,000… The June Median Sales Price is 7% higher than June 2023.
- June closings saw the Median Days to Contract (DTC) in June decrease from 9 days to 8 days compared to May.
- Looking at more recent pace in July, the Median Days to Contract is increasing, a reflection of what I refer to as the “Summer Slowdown.” Industry professionals suspect that summer vacations during a short school-year break and other travel plans make it challenging for many Buyers to shop for homes.
- The % of Cash Sales remains near 30% average in Reno-Sparks.
- Mortgage have dropped below 7% for many buyers. BusinessInsider.com reports, “Mortgage rates are down this week, with 30-year mortgage rates averaging around 6.30%, according to Zillow data. Rates are lower thanks to recent data showing that inflation slowed last month, and they should fall further as we get closer to a potential Federal Reserve rate cut.”
- If you are a Buyer and still concerned about interest rates, many lenders are offering refinancing services free of charge 1 to 3 years after your purchase. So it may be in your best interest to get into the market at todays prices with the idea of lowering your monthly payments in the near future. Contact me for a referral to a great local lender who will carefully walk you through the process!
