We’re bombarded with real estate facts and statistics in the media, but have you wondered just how far your dollar goes when purchasing a home in Reno & Sparks? With this thought in mind I plan to provide a weekly report of 5 homes that closed escrow the previous week in a specific price range. Rather than focusing on a defined area, I’m casting a net around a wide variety of neighborhoods. In the end I’m hoping to help consumers develop a reasonable opinion of value as it relates to home size, age and location. Today, let’s look at homes that closed escrow around $400,000 in and near Reno & Sparks last week.

I think this week's list represent the very low-end of our “move-up” market although it’s also attractive to some relocating, first-time buyers. If you’re crunching numbers, please keep in mind that the market times I’ve posted typically include days that the homes were in escrow (typically between 30 – 45 days). If you found this post interesting, tune in next week when I’ll be highlighting 5 homes that sold for $500,000. To search last week’s post visit 5 Homes That Sold For $300,000. Until next week, Cheers!
