Reno/Sparks Inventory Report - August 2021
Our local housing market has good news for buyers with another monthly increase in inventory to help meet the sustained high demand. Here are the latest statistics for the single-family home market in the Reno/Sparks area.
As of September 1st 2021, there were 482 homes available for purchase, which is an increase of 16% over last month and the sixth consecutive month of increased inventory. This also marks the first month with a year-over-year increase in inventory since July of 2019. It increased by 4.3% compared to September 2020. Demand for homes that are coming to market is one of the biggest causes for the low inventory numbers that we are seeing today, but the market is starting to stabilize a little as the demand is satisfied.
Months or Days of Inventory is typically how REALTORS refer to the amount of time it would take to sell all existing homes for sale if no additional homes entered the market.
