    Do you have access to the Incline MLS? Most Incline and Crystal Bay listings go through there rather than NNRMLS

    Hi Catherine,

    I pulled 2018 sales from the Incline Village MLS, and, yes, there were considerably more sales recorded for Incline and Crystal Bay through that MLS than through NNRMLS. Here’s what I found…

    • 2018 Incline Village sales: 230 units sold; with a median sales price of $1,213,750
    • 2018 Crystal Bay sales: 13 units sold; with a median sales price of $1,500,000

    Thank you for pointing that out.
