Carson City saw the largest percent increase in closed sales, a 54.8 percent increase from the previous month and an increase of 60 percent from last year.

Washoe and Carson City counties both saw increases in the existing condominium/townhome median sales price

“As we head into the Spring season, we expect to see home prices temporarily rise as it becomes easier for sellers to do home tours and as buyers feel more eager to see homes in person,” said SNR president Robert Bartshe. “With talk of interest rates coming down as well, it’s not surprising to see more interest in the northern Nevada housing market.”

This was quite possibly their main meal for the day, and they were exhibiting great gladness in celebrating it.
