- 02/27/17 11:30 AM
The Reno real estate market is experiencing its lowest inventory in decades. That hasn't quelled Buyers' desire for a home, though.

reno homes for sale: July 2016 Reno Home Sales
- 08/29/16 03:11 AM
The July 2016 Reno Home Sales Report showed a decrease in sales from last year. Experts believe that several months of high sales depleted inventory.

- 12/15/14 03:29 AM
We may be at the end of the year but that does not mean we are at the end of our rope in the Reno real estate market. Traditionally, this is the slow time of the year for real estate transactions in the Reno community. This does not mean that Buyers or Sellers should be sitting on their hands if they really need to enter the market now. At least, that is what the December 2014 Reno Market Update tells us.
Our commercial partners are telling us that there are three developers in the Reno area that are looking for … (0 comments)

In fact, Mt Rose Ski Tahoe opened up in a limited capacity just last weekend!

reno homes for sale: Reno Bites Restaurant Week 2014
- 10/13/14 04:40 AM
You have probably heard the phrase "think global, shop local" at some time over the past few years. That means that we need to start purchasing goods and services from local vendors and farmers in our very own Reno community instead of the big box stores. This both helps our local Reno economy and lowers our carbon footprint. During Reno Bites Restaurant Week 2014, you can actually taste the goodness that patronizing local businesses provides.

reno homes for sale: Tesla Calls Reno Home
- 09/29/14 02:18 AM
And then there was one. We've spoken a lot lately about how the Tesla move means big business for Reno. Their five million square foot Gigafactory will supply all the lithium ion batteries for their electric cars. More than 6500 jobs will come directly from the plant once it is up and running. The ancillary jobs that will be created (from construction to motels, restaurants and more) are the shot in the arm that the Reno economy will benefit from most of all. Now that Tesla calls Reno home, let us take a look back at how it got that way. This … (2 comments)
reno homes for sale: Tesla Move Means Big Business for Reno
- 09/15/14 04:02 AM

Earlier this month, it was officially announced that Tesla Motors would be building their Gigafactory plant just outside of Reno. This Tesla move means big business for Reno! The Tesla Gigafactory battery plant will be manufacturing lithium-ion batteries for use in the company's electric cars. It is expected that enough of these batteries will be produced to allow for the manufacture of over a half a million … (3 comments)
reno homes for sale: Reno Market Update - August 2014
- 09/08/14 03:28 AM
According to the recent Reno market update - August 2014, sales appear to be slowing down. The total number of listings decreased by only 29 while the number under contract decreased 3.3% in just one week. In my daily travels around town, I have seen more than a few overpriced listings. When you partner that with the yo-yo-ing appraisals we are seeing, it makes for a bit of a tricky market.
I have found an unusually high amount of "value options" lately in the Reno real estate market. In fact, one property was given one value amount by an appraiser one … (1 comments)

- 08/25/14 05:03 AM
Reno Poised to Become the Next Silicon Valley The Biggest Little City in the World has long been associated with cheap prime rib and gambling. In the past, it has been referred to as sort of the long lost cousin to the flashier sights and sounds of Las Vegas. City officials are working to make a change in what people think when they talk about Reno. They have been slowly but surely turning towards the high tech industry to help pull them out of the doldrums experienced with their economic down slope in 2009. Is Reno poised to become the next Silicon Valley? … (1 comments)
