“In October, the housing market in Northern Nevada showed a range of trends,” said Robert Bartshe, president of SNR. “While some counties saw declines in median home prices and existing home sales, others experienced increases. These fluctuations are influenced by broader national economic factors. As the market continues to evolve, it’s important to stay informed and work with a knowledgeable local agent to successfully navigate these changes.”
