Sierra Nevada Realtors on Wednesday released its November 2024 report on existing home sales in Carson City along with Churchill, Douglas, Lyon, and Washoe counties (excluding Incline Village). This report includes the median sales price and number of home sales in the region. SNR obtains its information from the Northern Nevada Regional Multiple Listing Service.

November housing market highlights include:

  • Since October 2024, there has been a steady increase in the median sales price for a single-family home in Carson, Lyon and Washoe County.
  • Since October 2024, the sales of existing single-family homes have decreased by 23.7% in Carson, Churchill, Douglas and Washoe County.

“November’s housing market in Northern Nevada mostly indicates a positive trend,” said Robert Bartshe, president of SNR. “The median sales price for single-family homes is up compared to last year, even with a slight dip since October, reflecting a resilient market. With year-over-year sales increasing in most counties, steady demand persists, making local expertise essential for navigating these shifts successfully.”
