Reno/Sparks Weekly MLS Statistics - week ended July 19
For the week just ended (July 19, 2009) there were 3,528 single family listings on the Northern Nevada Regional Multiple Listing Service (MLS) of which 43% were vacant; largely unchanged from last week and seemingly stable for a few months. There were 546 condominium listings with 55% vacant. These 4,074 units represent a 11 month supply of all product types and a 9 month supply of single family homes based upon an 8-week moving average of closings. We have just started to smooth the single family supply to make it easier to spot a trend in supply.
As of 11:00 a.m. the system had reported 85 single family closings for the week – a vast improvement over last week’s paltry 59 single family closings.
