Earlier this month, the Reno City Council met to discuss the Reno Station Casino.  Originally, the Station Casino's plans to build a gaming facility near the Reno-Sparks Convention Center were approved.  However, Monarch Casino and Resort (parent company to the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa) filed an appeal to reconsider these plans.  On November 3rd, 2016, the council rejected the appeal and gave the Reno Station Casino the go ahead.Reno Station Casino AppealWhat was the Monarch Casino's reason for their appeal? They felt the approval of a gaming facility without hotel rooms so close to the convention center went against the City's master plan for the area.  Until now, the plan required any new gaming facilities to include a minimum hotel room count.  The thought behind this was that it w...

Can you feel the excitement in the air?  After years of a repressed local economy, Reno's future appears bright.  In addition to the technology companies that have set up shop here, Reno businesses blossomed.  The influx of people to the area forced prices for Reno homes to increase and inventory levels to go down.  However, Reno Park Lane redevelopment plans were recently unveiled to City officials.  I'm very interested to see how this impacts the local housing market.Reno Park Lane Redevelopment PlansJust last week, Reno Land Inc presented their Reno Park Lane redevelopment plans to the City Council.  The 46 acre vacant land formerly housed the Park Lane Mall.  Reno Land took ownership of the property late last month.  Their idea plans to merge retail, commercial and residential space...

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.  The fast moving inventory hasn't kept up with new construction and existing homes coming onto the market.  If this doesn't change, sales may level out soon.July 2016 Reno Home SalesAccording to statistics related by the Northern Nevada Regional Multiple Listing Service, a total of 566 single-family homes were sold throughout Washoe County in July 2016.  This reportedly dropped 14% from June 2016 and came in 13% less than July 2015.  Of those, 376 were July 2016 Reno home sales.  This marked a 15% reduction from June 2016 and a 20% downturn from the same time last year.Prices, on the other hand, rose slightly from last year.  The July 201...
