Over the last 45 days the real estate market has become eerily quiet, some of it has to do with kids going back to school and families getting the most out of their vacations. But make no mistake we have a lot of buyers that have been sidelined do the inability of congress to make decisions on the debt ceiling, unemployment over 9%, the falling stock market and Ben Bernanke's speech that failed to come up with a stimulus plan.

&nbsp;

As of the end of April the Reno Sparks area had an inventory of 2.3 months.&nbsp; This means that at the current pace of housing sales we would sell all of the inventory in 2.3 months. Compare that with November of 2008, when we had about 13 months of inventory on the market.&nbsp;A typical buyers market is defined as 8 months of inventory on the market. You do the math. Some people say banks are holding back on releasing foreclosures. If that is true there could be a flood of houses hi... ]]> </description>

The recession has hit downtown Reno in a crazy way and the trend is not exactly what Reno officials were looking for. They were working for a mix of housing, shops and restaurants to help the faultering casino industry. The reason for the downturn in casino gaming is the Indian casinos in California which are just about three hours away.

The problem is the elephant in the room, which was Nevada's real estate crash. Reno's downtown condo market has floundered.&nbsp; The biggest project... ]]> </description>
