New listings in Washoe County dropped to 558 last month, down 5.1% from June and slightly below last July too. Sellers who could list are choosing not to — so if you're sitting on a house you've thought about selling, what's actually holding you back: price, moving logistics, or just not wanting to deal with it?

Median days to contract jumped to 21 in July, up 61.5% from June's pace — sounds like a slowdown. Zoom out and it's still 27.6% faster than this time last year. Reno didn't cool off; it just stopped sprinting at April's unsustainable speed. If you've convinced yourself the market slowed down last month, check the year-over-year number before you believe it.

VA-financed homes in Washoe County closed at a median $617,412 last month — up 12.3% year-over-year, nearly double the overall market's 6.1% gain. If you've got VA entitlement sitting unused from a prior loan, it's worth finding out what it's actually worth this week.

Two things happened in Washoe County last month. Active inventory nudged up 2% to 970 listings — looks like breathing room. But 24.5% of closed sales went above list price, up from 17.8% a year ago, while months of supply is still down 34% year-over-year at 2.0. More listings didn't mean less competition for the ones actually worth buying — if you've been waiting for that shift, it hasn't shown up yet.

Myth: VA offers scare off sellers and slow everything down.

Washoe County SFR, this month:
1. VA-financed closings: 49 days on market vs. 45 market-wide.
2. VA buyers closed at 99.3% of list price vs. 99.1% overall.

That's a four-day gap and a rounding error — not the horror story some listing agents are still repeating. If a VA offer crosses your desk this week, evaluate it like any other.

Before assuming you’ll need another traditional mortgage, it’s worth asking one simple question: How much equity do you really have? Because the answer might change what you thought your next move could look like.

Curious what your home equity could do for you? Let’s run the numbers and see what kind of buying power you’re really sitting on.

What if you didn’t have a mortgage payment on your next house? It may sound a little unrealistic. But for a number of homeowners, it’s actually doable.

The sellers who succeed in this market aren’t doing anything extreme. They’re pricing their house right, making strategic repairs, getting local guidance, and making decisions based on how buyers actually behave today. Those small but mighty mindset shifts could make or break your sale.

Want a real plan tailored to your home and your neighborhood? Let’s talk.

Let’s be clear: selling your house is absolutely possible right now. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), roughly 11k homes sell every day in this country.

The point isn’t that everyone should rush out and buy a home tomorrow.

It’s that renting isn’t always the more affordable option people assume it is – and buying may be more realistic than it feels once you look at the full picture.

If you’re renting and feeling stuck in the “someday” loop, it might be worth a simple conversation. Just a chance to see what’s possible and whether it makes sense for you.

Renting can feel like the easier choice right now.
