Last year we saw some big changes in luxury real estate trends. First, the Luxury Market in 2020 in Northern Nevada has been completely redefined due to the influx of Californians leaving the state and staking their claim in Reno-Tahoe. This means that we saw the number of properties priced and sold at $1,000,000 and up increase by a large margin. Many buyers are also offering anywhere from $5,000 to $100,000 over listing price, making the market a dream for sellers. Inventory has been at an all-time low and now’s an incredible time to sell your home

The Q1 2020 Luxury Market Report just dropped. (Our beautiful listing at 5635 Foret Circle was featured on the cover!) In anticipation of what was poised to be a busy spring season, the first quarter of 2020 started out strong, with robust sales and healthy statistics in the luxury sector.

"What a difference a few weeks has made. I fear the next quarterly report will not be as strong, but people remain driven to buy and sell real estate for many reasons.

I dream of recovery for all, not knowing how long it

As we are all adjusting to a temporary "new normal" with COVID-19, our team thought it would be fun to do a light-hearted interview. Nestle in, grab your favorite snack, and join us for a little Q&A. 

What is the best silver lining with the additional time at home?

Brooke Sullivan: Spending time with my family. Getting to enjoy my daughters without being in a rush to fit it all in. 

Rob Wonhof: Time for continuing education and it can all be done virtually (instead of half live classes).  I am going to start any minute now!

Monica Gore: Being able to spend quality time with my children without distraction. They really love the additional attention I'm giving them and that makes us all happy. 

Heather Neal: My daughter is

This month’s Partner Spotlight shines bright on Lacey Dremann, owner and principal designer of First Impression, a luxury home staging company here in Reno, Nevada. We have collaborated with her on projects in the past and have seen first-hand how a professionally-staged home can make a huge difference in both the selling price and days on the market.

Whether it’s staging a completely empty home or complementing existing furnishings, it’s all about creating an emotional connection. Buyers will ask themselves, “Could I live here?”

We had a chance to sit down with Lacey and she shared some great insight about herself, her business, and the industry in general. Read on to learn more in this enlightening interview.
