At the end of July, 2016, the median home price for the Reno-Sparks region climbed to $318,000, a 2% increase from June, and a 9.7% increase from a year ago. Fueled by high demand, low mortgage rates and job growth in the region, we should expect the median price to continue to climb as demand in the most affordable price ranges out paces the supply of homes. However, I believe that a SHIFT is coming.
The Average Days on Market for July ticked up slightly from the prior two months. We have been hovering near the limit of how fast inventory can turn over for the past few months. The slight increase in Days on Market from 79 to 87 days is not indicative of less demand. We expect the Days on Market to remain low for at least a few more months. However, I believe that a SHIFT is coming.
Why should this information matter to you? For sellers in price ranges below $500,000, the low inventory and high demand make this a great time for a discussion about why you should consider selling now.
For buyers, mortgage rates are expected to remain low for the near term, but that can’t last forever.
