Washoe County real estate licensees increase for the first time since the collapse of the housing bubble

declining number of licenseesNevada’s number of active real estate licensees topped 20,000 in August and is now at a level not seen since June 2011 (see “Statewide” table below).

After years of dwindling numbers, the number of real estate licensees turned the corner earlier this year — See Nevada real estate licensees on the rise – May 12, 2014.

This change in direction is a result of more than two years of increasing home prices. And with the excitement and optimism surrounding Tesla Motors’ gigafactory forthcoming expect this increasing trend to continue.

Clark and Washoe Counties accounted for the largest number of new licensees — with Washoe County seeing an increase in its agent count for the first time since the housing bubble burst. Washoe County’s number of Active real estate licensees totaled 2,455 in August — a 1 percent increase over March’s 2,431 Active licensees.
