Reno-Sparks Market Report • August 16, 2024

August 2024 Market Report

by Denise Hallerbach

** 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.

Is your next home sale and/or purchase happening in the near future?   Email me at Denise@DrakulichRE.com or call me at 775-233-0682 so we can begin analyzing the best strategy for YOU!

Reno-Sparks Market Report • July 18, 2024

July 2024 Market Report

by Denise Hallerbach

** Data in the JULY 2024 Market Report reflect market activity from JUNE 2024 compared to JUNE 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:

    • 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!

Is your next home sale and/or purchase happening in 2024, or even 2025?   Email me at Denise@DrakulichRE.com or call me at 775-233-0682 so we can begin analyzing the best strategy for YOU!

Reno-Sparks Market Report • June 16, 2024

June 2024 Market Report

by Denise Hallerbach

** Data in the JUNE 2024 Market Report reflect market activity from MAY 2024, compared to MAY 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).  For reports in other areas of Northern Nevada or specific neighborhoods, please contact me, 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.

Please note that the above data shows 9 median Days to Contract for single family homes that closed during May. With an typical 30-35 day escrow period, most of these homes went into contract in April!! The median Days to Contract graph for the Week ending June 8, 2024 (2 graphs below) give a more accurate picture of what the market pace here at the beginning of Summer.

As observed in the graph above, the most recent “weekly” market data shows a significant slow-down in median DAYS TO CONTRACT compared to properties listed in April when DAYS to Contract were 9 in Reno-Sparks. The week ending June 8, the Days to Contract was 17.

SUMMARY:

    • Compared to May last year, the Median Sales Price (MSP) in Reno and Sparks (combined) increased from approximately $555,000 to $596,000, a 7.2% jump year-over-year. 
    • May closings saw the Median Days to Contract (DTC) in May drop 9% compared to May 2023… 9 DTC in Reno-Sparks combined, 8 DTC in Reno, 12 DTC in Sparks.
    • Low inventory and continued Buyer demand drive the rate of sales which resulted in 1.7 Months Supply of Inventory (MSI) in May 2024.  Months Supply of Inventory is a measure of the rate of sales. If single family homes in Reno-Sparks continue to sell at the same rate as in May 2024, and no new inventory were added to the market, the entire inventory would be depleted in 1.7 months. A balanced market is 5-6 months.
    • From my personal observations over the last month, while homes in some neighborhoods are flying off the shelf, others are taking more time. The temperature market is highly location-based.
    • The % of Cash Sales has reached an all-time high of 30% average.
    • Mortgage rates are still hovering around 7%.  “Inflation data hasn’t been improving. The Federal Reserve has been pushing off rate cuts. Though mortgage rates could still go down later in the year, housing market predictions change regularly in response to economic data, geopolitical events and more.” (CNET.com) That being said, you may have been delaying your purchase or sale long enough, and your move is imminent.  Just remember that many lenders are offering free refinancing services when mortgage rates do eventually drop. So if you find that right home at your right time, and the purchase is a financially viable option for you, there is no need to wait. Homes to appear to continue to be appreciate in value!

Is your next home sale and/or purchase happening in 2024, or even 2025?   Email me at Denise@DrakulichRE.com or call me at 775-233-0682 so we can begin analyzing the best strategy for YOU!

Reno-Sparks Market Report • April 9, 2024

April 2024 Market Report

by Denise Hallerbach

** Data in the APRIL 2024 Market Report reflect market activity from MARCH 2024 compared to the previous month and year.  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).  For reports in other areas of Northern Nevada or specific neighborhoods, please contact me, and I will collect that information for you.  Data in this report only accounts for single-family resale residences and excludes townhouses/condos, manufactured/modular, and all new construction.

SUMMARY:

    • The Median Sales Price (MSP) in Reno and Sparks combined has increased from $525,000 to $575,000 from January to March 2024, a 7% increase over the last 2 months.
    • The Median Days to Contract dropped from 32 in January, to 20 days in February, to 12 days in March 2024… Bottom line, as we make our way through spring, the market is heating up.
    • Months Supply of Inventory dropped 14% month-over-month from 1.8 MSI to 1.5 MSI, indicating a continued Seller’s Market.  Months Supply of Inventory is a measure of the rate of sales. If single family homes in Reno-Sparks continue to sell at the same rate as in March 2024, and no new inventory were added to the market, the entire inventory would be depleted in 1.5 months. A balanced market is 6-7 months.
    • I am often asked the burning question, “Should I Buy Now?  Or Should I Wait?”
      • RamseySolutions.com took the words right out of my mouth in a recent article, “Should I Buy a House Now or Wait for Mortgage Rates to Go Down? The basic principle are these:
        • You should buy a house now if you are financially prepared.
        • Bear in mind that when interest rates do drop, you will see even more competition possibly resulting in overbids.
        • With the anticipation that interest rates will be lower in the future, you will likely be able to refinance at that time to lower your monthly payment.

Is your next home sale and/or purchase happening in 2024, or even 2025?   Email me at Denise@DrakulichRE.com or reach me by cell at 775-233-0682 so we can begin analyzing the best plan for YOU!

Reno-Sparks Market Report • February 13, 2024

March 2024 Market Report

by Denise Hallerbach

** Data in the MARCH 2024 Market Report reflect market activity from FEBRUARY 2024 compared to the previous month and year.  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).  For reports in other areas of Northern Nevada or specific neighborhoods, please contact me, and I will collect that information for you.  Data in this report only accounts for single-family resale residences and excludes townhouses/condos, manufactured/modular, and all new construction.

SUMMARY:

    • The Median Sales Price (MSP) in Reno and Sparks are have remained relatively flat through the winter months. Reno’s MSP was approximately $590,000 (approx. 1% increase compared to Jan 2024 and 2.6% increase compared to Feb 2o23) and Sparks MSP was $567,500 (approx. 1/2% decrease month-over-month and 8.5% increase compared to Feb 2023)
    • With the Median Days to Contract dropping from 32 to 20 days (down 37.5% compared to Jan 2024) we are seeing a corresponding increase in pending sales.  Pending sales are up a whopping 42% month-over-month.
    • Months Supply of Inventory plummeted from 2.2 MSI to 1.6 MSI, indicating a continued Seller’s Market.  Months Supply of Inventory is a measure of the rate of sales. If single family homes in Reno-Sparks continue to sell at the same rate as in February 2024, and no new inventory were added to the market, the entire inventory would be depleted in 1.6 months. A balanced market is 6-7 months.
    • With mortgage rates still hovering around 7%, Buyers and Sellers continue to ask themselves, should I STILL wait to make my next move?  A few critical factors should be your guiding force:
      • Are you financially stable and qualified? Speak with your financial and tax advisors and your mortgage lender to determine if you’re qualified for a purchase now. Need an excellent mortgage expert?  Contact me to find the best in the business.
      • Understand that as the spring buying season heats up, if inventory remains low and demand continues (as I anticipate it will), prices are likely to begin increasing again. Now could be the best time to make your move, considering the projection of increased home prices.
      • Realize the possibility of refinancing to lower your monthly payment when rates drop again at some point in the future.
    • So what is happening with mortgage rates, now, and in the near future?  Most mortgage rate experts and real estate economists predict rates will moderate in the next several months.  Visit “TheMortgageReports.com” for a more thorough explanation of what the experts are predicting.

Is your next home sale and/or purchase happening in 2024, or even 2025?   Email me at Denise@DrakulichRE.com or reach me by cell at 775-233-0682 so we can begin analyzing the best plan for YOU!
