Is the Reno and Sparks Nevada home buyer pool drying up? Signs are definitely showing the market is slowing and the number of closed escrows every month has diminished steadily over the last 3 months.
The graph below charts the Reno & Sparks home sales volume for 2000 – 2009 (year to date):

As you can see, the volume of home sales continues to decline. For the first 9 months of 2009, there were 2,800 homes sold in the Reno / Sparks area. That means unless another 1,100+ homes sell between today and December 31, 2009, then 2009 will have the lowest home sales volume of the decade. For those of you that like to see the data, here are the numbers of homes sold by year:
2000 – 4,695
2001 – 4,835
2002 – 5,548
2003 – 6,163
2004 – 6,856
2005 – 7,261
2006 – 5,075
2007 – 3,936
2008 – 4,425
2009 – 2,800 for 1/1/09 – 9/30/09
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Reno and Sparks still have a long way to go towards becoming a normal functioning market. The good news is the relative affordability of homes in the area has improved drastically over the last 24 months. Can you imagine what our sales volume would have been had we not had the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit to aid 2009 sales?
