Should I sell my home now or wait in Reno or Sparks?
Deciding when to sell your home depends on market trends, timing, and your personal goals. This guide will help you make the most informed choice possible in today’s local market.

The Reno and Sparks real estate markets are active but evolving. As of July 2025, we’re seeing a moderate increase in inventory with steady buyer interest. Serious buyers are still making strong offers — especially on homes that are move-in ready and properly marketed. That means if you’re prepared to sell now, you could benefit from relatively low competition and motivated buyers.

Here’s why now might be the right time to sell your home in Reno or Sparks:

  • Equity Is Up – If you’ve owned your home for a few years, there’s a good chance you’ve built up significant equity.

  • Motivated Buyers Are Still Active – Despite fluctuating rates, demand remains for well-presented properties.

  • You’re Ready for the Next Chapter – Whether it's downsizing, relocating, or upgrading, your timing matters more than chasing the “perfect market.”

Sometimes holding off is the better strategy. Consider waiting if:

  • You’re not quite ready financially or emotionally to make a move.

  • You want to complete improvements that could increase your home’s value.

  • You’re waiting for a more favorable buying environment on the other side of your sale.

It’s easy to focus on timing, but success comes from strategy — not prediction. The Kinney and Renwick Team understands the Reno and Sparks market and provides honest, data-driven advice to help you reach your goals. We don’t just list homes — we prepare and position them to stand out.

We’re often asked:

  • “Is now a bad time to list my home?”

  • “Will I make enough to cover my next purchase?”

  • “What do buyers in Reno and Sparks really want right now?”

The answers vary, which is why personalized guidance matters. We evaluate your specific situation, market comparables, and your home’s strengths to help you decide what’s next — confidently and clearly.

If you’ve been asking whether you should sell your home now or wait, it’s time to get real answers based on your goals — not just market headlines. Whether you're ready to move forward or still weighing your options, our team is here to help.
