The median sales price for an existing single-family home in Carson City decreased slightly in September compared to the previous month, according to data released from Sierra Nevada Realtors.
The median home sales price was $534,950, a decrease of 0.5 percent from the previous month and a decrease of 7 percent from the same time the previous year.

“This fluctuation in prices and sales reflects changing buyer priorities amid the Fed’s recent interest rate cut. As the market evolves, staying informed and working with a knowledgeable local agent becomes essential for navigating these dynamics effectively,” said SNR President Robert Bartshe.
In September, the Fed cut the federal funds rate by a half-percentage point to the 4.75-5-percent range, which could affect mortgage rates going forward, according to the Associated Press.
