Sierra Nevada Realtors released Tuesday its May 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.

May housing market highlights include:

• Across all six counties, the median sales price for single-family homes is $565,000.
• The median sales price for condominiums and townhomes across all six counties is $355,000.
• Since April 2025, the combined median sales price of existing single-family homes in all counties has increased by 0.9%
• Since April 2025, the combined median sales price of condominiums and townhomes across all counties has decreased by 9%.

“May’s housing market reflected a mix of modest growth and seasonal adjustment,” said SNR President Leandra Carr. “The median sales price for single-family homes rose slightly, signaling ongoing stability across all six counties. Meanwhile, the median price for condominiums and townhomes decreased from last month. These shifts highlight the importance of working with a realtor to navigate a market that continues to evolve as we move into the summer months.”
