Last night I had a good talk with an investor who asked for a Stead market overview.
The Stead area (North part of Reno) is a prime candidate for a market rebound. Though median price is still falling, everything else is in positive territory. Homes in Stead have been selling due to it's first time home buyer price appeal--$150,000 TO $190,000.
I did a posting on this last August.
Perhaps what's most surprising for me is the months supply of inventory (see third graph)--down to 4.7 months!

Wow. This is not my area of expertise, but it looks like a significant and encouraging change to me. Thanks for reporting it.
One little caveat--I keep hearing banks are keeping a lot of foreclosed homes off the market. If that's true, and if the inventory in the chart above includes only the homes on the market, then it's not a true measure of the inventory in the area because the banks will eventually put the homes up for sale.
Ann,
That's how I felt! I actually have heard those rumors too. I have no doubt that it could be true.
Though personally, to make things simple I take things how they are in MLS. Then I'll just adjust once it does happen.
