The Sparks Real Estate Market decreased by nearly 20% in price from 2010 to 2011. The number of units sold are slightly, ever so slightly, up over the same time last year for single family homes sold.
The absorption rate has halted its increase and is remaining steady for the short term. This signals that demand/supply realities are not changing significantly. It is any ones guess if this trend will continue throughout 2011.
It is still a great time for Nevada home buyers to purchase. Home prices are low and inventory is high. Interest rates are still low and Nevada has many first time home buyer mortgage programs to choose from.
