Are buyers paying over or under the list price
• Updated homes in desirable neighborhoods, land close to the list
• Some competitively priced homes attract multiple offers
• Dated homes fall into softer pricing tiers
• Overpriced homes sit longer and sell under list price
• Buyer expectations vary by neighborhood and condition
What buyer behavior looks like right now
Reno’s most active segments include updated homes in ArrowCreek, Caughlin Ranch, Damonte Ranch, and 89519 ridgeline pockets. These properties often receive strong activity because buyers want move-in-ready homes.
Homes needing updates, extensive repairs, old layouts, or cosmetic overhauls typically fall into more conservative pricing tiers.
Sellers who list too high often experience slower showings and eventually adjust downward.

Testimonial placeholder
“Jodi’s negotiation skills were a game changer. She positioned our home perfectly and secured a full price offer faster than we expected. We always felt like we were in strong hands.”
Common misconceptions
• “Buyers always negotiate.” They negotiate when the home doesn’t justify the list price.
• “Listing higher gives room to drop.” This usually results in fewer showings and weaker offers.
FAQs
-
Are multiple offers still happening?
Yes, on competitively priced, well updated, or unique homes.
-
Do buyers expect concessions?
Only when repairs or updates are needed, or when the price is mismatched with the condition.
-
Should sellers price slightly under market to spark a bidding war?
Not always. Correct pricing produces strong traffic without undervaluing the home.
