Quote from @Devin Conley: The Reno market does appear to have slowed down a bit this year, but honestly numbers are not totally unusual for the time of year.e.g. monthly absorption rates are down YoY from 33.4% to 29.1% But other key stats like price drop rate are look typical and are actually slightly better YoY (down from 31.7% last August to 29.9% this year) It's not crazy unusual, but August did have some notable things that you don't usually see in an August, like 11% of homes coming off the market unsold, 31 DOM, double last year, and 3.6 months of inventory is the highest August I see in my data, which goes back to 2015.IDK if my personal opinion is necessarily accurate, but I've never paid too close of attention to the price cut rate.
