Out of 380 single family homes sold during October 2009, only 168 homes were sold without any special conditions. This shows foreclosures and short sale properties still have a huge influence on our real estate market here in Northern Nevada. As long as there is still a larger number of homes with special conditions being sold over homes with out those conditions, I believe we will continue to see our single family residence home prices continue to drop.

Now under contract for a second time, 10325 Mountain Dew Circle, Reno Nevada 89523 ~ No longer available. This Reno, Nevada short sale property was listed in June of this year and upon hitting the Northern Nevada Multiple Listing Service, received three offers in one weekend.

10325 Mountain Dew  Ct

This great property located in West Reno, is being sold as a short sale. A short sale means the owner is selling the property for less then what she owes and a third party, the bank, will have to approve the sale of this home. The offer that was received and accepted in June was asking the bank to pay for closing costs. When the bank said no to paying closing costs the buyer walked.

After placing the property back on the market we now have a new offer, one I hope the bank will approve. This single story home is located in a cul - de - sac, has a two car garage but an additional driveway for extra parking!

The back yard is fully landscaped with full sprinklers and a fence surrounding the property with a gate that leads to the pack walking trail. A large shed that sits near the south east corner in this large yard, will stay with the home.
