Reno + Sparks Market Update | Jan 19, 2026

If the housing headlines feel dramatic, you’re not alone — but the data tells a calmer story. Let’s look at Reno and Sparks side by side:

Reno:
Inventory is down 8.06% with 1,026 homes for sale. Homes are taking longer to sell (94 days), showing buyers are cautious — not panicked.
Even so, prices are still rising. Median price is $607,500 (+1.27%).
This isn’t a falling market — it’s a stabilizing one.

Sparks:
Inventory is down even more at 9.38% with 232 homes available. Homes are selling a bit faster than Reno at 79 days.
Median price is $589,925 (+1.27%), showing steady growth, not a drop.

Both cities are doing the same thing:
Prices are slowly rising while the market cools.

This is not a boom market.
This is not a crash market.
This is a strategy market.

Buyers have room to negotiate.
Sellers must price correctly.
Smart decisions now beat fast decisions.

If you’re waiting, you’re not late — you’re early in a healthier phase of the market.

C aught two cute reindeer wandering my front yard 😂🦌

Reminder for anyone new to Washoe County: we’re an open range state in most areas — meaning livestock can legally roam unless you’re in a closed-range zone.

⸻

Quick Sector Notes
• Entertainment/Tourism: GSR arena is the headline project—drives hospitality jobs, visitor nights, and event traffic (good for STRs and nearby retail). 

• Housing: Sparks adds senior/affordable units (The Afton). RED continues adding multifamily near the core—more renters, more foot traffic for nearby services. 

• Infrastructure/Energy: Greenlink West should stabilize capacity and attract more industrial/clean-tech investment to the region—positive for long-term employment base.

🏡 Why Homeowners Insurance Really Matters When You’re Buying a House brought to you by me and my sister’s duck, AFLAC. He knows about insurance and shared this with me.

When you’re budgeting for your future home, most people focus on the “big three”: purchase price, interest rate, and property taxes. But there’s one more key player that can quietly affect your monthly payment — homeowners insurance.

Your insurance premium gets included in your mortgage payment (along with taxes), and depending on the coverage, location, and even the age of the home, it can shift your total monthly cost by hundreds of dollars.

That means:
✅ Higher premiums = higher monthly payment = lower buying power.
✅ Lower premiums (or smart coverage choices) = more flexibility in your budget.

Tip: Before falling in love with a home, it’s worth getting a quick insurance estimate. Homes in areas with wildfire risk, older roofs, or large square footage can cost more to insure — and that might change how much house you can comfortably afford. Don’t forget about flood insurance as well! We have several flood zones in our area and partnering with the right agent and lender can help you find a better rate - true story for one of my past clients!

Understanding this early can help you avoid surprises later and make a confident offer that truly fits your lifestyle. 🏠💡

Today, we pause to remember the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

To reflect on the profound impact of that day and the strength and unity that followed. As we honor those who were affected, let’s also recognize the spirit of resilience that continues to inspire us. Let us honor the memories of those who lost their lives, salute the heroes who emerged, and reaffirm our commitment to fostering a world where compassion and understanding prevail over hatred and violence. 💙❤️

Need a home sale contingency to buy? Or maybe some closing cost assistance? In competitive areas, here’s a strategy many buyers overlook → focus on homes that have been on the market for 30+ days.

Why? Sellers with longer days on market are often more motivated, which can mean price reductions, room to negotiate, or even credits toward closing costs and rate buydowns.

Want me to send you a list of homes in our area that have been on the market longer than 30 days? DM me and I’ll send them right over!

If you speak doubt and negativity… your “house” will feel heavy and small.
But when you speak kindness, gratitude, and belief in yourself… your “house” becomes a place of peace, possibility, and growth.

Words are powerful – they build walls or open doors.

So today, choose words that make your “house” feel like home.
