What You Need to Know if You are Buying or Selling a Home in Northern Nevada

Navigating the real estate market is tricky, especially when markets are ever-changing. However, huge life changes don’t mean you have to put your real estate goals on hold – it just means you need a little bit of caution and some real estate expertise.

The Reno, Nevada area is one of the fastest-growing regions in the nation, in part because of its optimistic job outlook, and in part, because the properties here are very reasonably priced with respect to all the opportunities Reno has to offer.

As a result, the housing market here is more stable than others. Additionally, the value of a house is affected by more than just the state of the economy. During the coronavirus quarantine, for example, property values were only slightly negatively affected by massive unemployment but positively affected by historically low mortgage rates, making home values much less volatile than one might expect.

So how should you go about buying or selling a home in Reno and the surrounding areas right now? Start by reaching out to The Caroline Mathes Team. We can help you consider all of these different factors, including things you may not know about the market. Finally, downloading our free checklists and guides on how to prepare for buying or selling a property can help you make the most informed decision.
