Housing markets across the nation saw their respective home prices rise dramatically in 2013 — with some cities seeing the highest increases in 20 years.
The Reno-Sparks market was no exception. December’s median sales price was up 26 percent year-over-year. But not all areas experienced the same magnitude of increase. The table below shows Reno-Sparks’ increase in median sales price across zip codes. To ensure I had enough data with which to work, I compared 2013’s 4th quarter sales to 2012’s 4th-quarter sales. The table was then sorted by largest increase.
