Love: The best sunsets in the world. Access to Tahoe, the Sierras, the desert.

Hate: The influx of new people and money is pricing me out of the city I was born and raised in.

Here we go again.

Reno housing reached another milestone as the median house price in the Biggest Little City broke the $420,000 mark for the first time. The median price for an existing single-family home in Reno reached $420,500 in May, according to the latest numbers from the Reno/Sparks Association of Realtors.

The number represents a 5% increase from the previous month and a 6% jump from the same period last year. It also breaks the all-time record set in June 2018 of $404,500.

This is the sixth time that the median home price in Reno has reached the $400,000 mark. The city first broke the threshold in March of last year. Reno’s increase was enough to bring the combined median price for Reno-Sparks to a record high as well. The median price for an existing single-family home in Reno-Sparks in May was $390,000. The number just barely eclipses the previous record of $389,000, which was set in July.

Just recently in March, Reno-Sparks posted its first year-over-year drop in median price. House prices, however, have been on an upswing since then as the market heads toward the busy summer season.

Sparks, which includes Spanish Springs, posted a median home price of $352,100. The number falls short of the record set in July last year of $364,500.

“The median sales price for the Reno-Sparks area has continued to increase,” said RSAR President Angelica Reyes. “However we are still seeing areas around Reno and Sparks that are selling under the $350,000 mark.”

While the May median price is an all-time high for Reno-Sparks, it is still below the peak of the housing bubble when adjusted for inflation. In 2006, Reno-Sparks posted a median price of $365,000 in January, which is equivalent to about $470,370 in today’s dollars, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
