How these numbers are computed.
The Biggest Little Market Report is computed by Biggest Little Realty from MLS closed-sale records for residential properties in Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Incline Village, Stateline, Zephyr Cove and South Lake Tahoe. All figures are medians or counts over the trailing 30 days as of 2026-08-01; comparisons use the prior 30-day window and the same window one year earlier. "Lake Tahoe" combines Incline Village, Stateline, Zephyr Cove and South Lake Tahoe. Sale-to-list compares the closing price to the final list price. Aggregate statistics only — no individual listings are shown.
These figures describe the market; they are not an appraisal, a prediction, or investment advice. For what the numbers mean for a specific home or move, the right answer comes from a licensed professional — tell me what you're imagining and I'll personally connect you with one.
