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.
