August home prices down in Carson City and Douglas, up in Lyon County

Sierra Nevada Realtors on Tuesday released its August 2025 report on existing home sales in Carson City, along with Churchill, Douglas, Lyon, Storey and Washoe counties (excluding Incline Village). This report includes the median sales price and number of home sales in the region. SNR obtains its information from the Northern Nevada Regional Multiple Listing Service.

August housing market highlights include:

• Across all six counties, the median sales price for single-family homes is $549,000.
• The median sales price for condominiums and townhomes across all six counties is $385,000.
• Since July 2025, the combined median sales price of existing single-family homes in all counties has decreased by 2.9%
• Since July 2025, the combined median sales price of condominiums and townhomes across all counties has increased by 12.6%.

“August’s housing market shows that there truly is something for everyone in the current market,” said SNR President Leandra Carr. “Opportunities vary depending on a buyer’s profile, the type of home they’re considering and the market segment they’re in. With rental costs continuing to climb, homeownership still offers long-term advantages like stability, predictable payments and the ability to build equity. With interest rates expected to stabilize or even decline, affordability may improve in the months ahead. We’ve seen single-family home prices ease since July, while condos and townhomes have gone up. All of these factors emphasize the importance of working with a Realtor, whose expertise is essential, whether it’s guiding first-time buyers to the right fit or helping sellers price and market their homes effectively in a competitive landscape.”
