Greetings from Reno-Tahoe!

To our friends, clients, and colleagues in 2024 - we wish you a wonderful start to the New Year! We have been the recipient of much-anticipated snow in the mountains this month and all the skiers have been busy shredding the slopes. Here in the Reno area, we've had a little bit of rain, a little bit of snow, a little bit of sunshine.

On the real estate side, 2023 was a solid year for the luxury market in Northern Nevada. In the Reno-Sparks area, sales from January to December 2023 matched the number of luxury homes sold in 2022. (At Dickson Realty, we consider $2,000,000 as the starting price for a luxury home in our region.)

In both 2022 and 2023, 98 homes were sold. Comparing the two years, sales price in 2023 saw

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. Under very careful health procedures and protocols, we are still assisting people to do so. I do believe once we are through this terrible health crisis, we will return to a strong economy.

Parents of middle schoolers rejoice! The opening of the new Marce Herz Middle School (MHMS) will be a huge boon for our community.

Students from the South Reno neighborhoods of ArrowCreek, Montreux, Saddlehorn, Fieldcreek, Mount Rose, Galena Forest and St. James Estates currently have to make the trek 10+ miles to Pine Middle School, which is located near Meadowood Mall off Neil Road. With the first bell at 7:20am, those students taking district transportation often have to hop on the bus as early as 6:30am. In the winter months, this means waiting for the bus before the sun even comes up.  

When MHMS opens this August 2020, it’ll be in a much better centralized location. Situated at 13455 Thomas

Thanksgiving is a time to express gratitude, so it’s the perfect opportunity to share why we cherish our Montrêux Golf & Country Club. Conveniently located between Reno and Lake Tahoe, Montrêux is a private, 726-acre golf course community with approximately 550 luxury home sites. The centerpiece is the renowned 18-hole, Jack Nicklaus Signature Championship Course.

Here are 15 reasons why we are thankful for Montrêux:
