June’s median home price for the Reno-Sparks real estate market rose to $600,000—representing a 1.7% one-month increase over May’s median, and a 4.3% year-over-year increase. Year-to-date, the Reno Metro Area’s median sales price has gained a remarkable 12.3%.
Despite the increase observed in the median sales price, the median sold price per square foot (PPSF) pulled back in June 2024—coming in at $318.57/sq.ft.—a 1.2% decrease from May’s number; however up 4.0% over the same period last year.
Home sales came in strong for the month of June—coming in at 391 units sold. Though technically down from May’s 433 homes sold, it should be noted that June had only 20 business days in the month compared to the May’s 23 business days. Equalizing for this disparity in business days, places June’s sales higher than those observed in May.

Inventory is up 10.7% over May’s level; and up 4.8% over this time last year.

Pending sales slid from the previous month’s. There are currently 524 SFRs pending sale. This number is down 9.7% from this time last month; and is down 10.3% over this time last year.
June’s months’ supply of inventory (MSI) came in at 2.0 months of supply—up over May’s 1.6 MSI. Indicative of a seller’s market, this figure is calculated by dividing the available inventory by the number of homes sold last month. A balanced market is generally considered to be between four and six months of supply.
June’s median days on market (DOM) clocked in at 50 days—an increase of 3 days over May’s median DOM. Year-over-year, June’s DOM was one day more than June 2023’s DOM number.
