Read this brief article (click here) found on MSN.com about the "insane amount of money" a buyer paid for a single-family home in New York (in this case, an apartment). In Carson City, our great city is obviously no comparison to the mighty New York homes prices, but still a fun and shocking read.
This article (click here) based on a 5 year study from 2009-2013 has some interesting housing statistics in Nevada and specifically Carson City.
Here is some not-that-new-news for our area:
- The hope of new business' (i.e., Tesla) locating to our surrounding areas is welcome news to all industries.
- Shopping local and supporting our local business' is always a focal point of our community. (not just during the holiday season).
- New home construction in Carson City is minimal but encouraging.
- Unemployment is still a concern especially if you talk with the youth of our community. Keeping families close together with local job and education opportunities is important.
- The 2015 Legislative Session begins next month and is always a major contributing factor to stimulating our economy.
I would like to see our tourism continue to strengthen (visit and share the Carson City Tourism Website (click here) with all your non-local friends and family) because much like buying a house, [usually] a buyer won't buy a home unless they actually walk the home, no matter how cool the on-line virtual tour. We welcome tourists to our area especially during the high-tourism-season for winter sports. (Hey New Yorkers: you can visit on a non-stop flight to the Reno-Tahoe Airport beginning May 28th Click here for more information)
Because our housing market is so closely tied to our economy, here is why a business should open or relocate to our community: Click here.
I will keep a watchful eye on our community, our elected leaders, our economy, and as always, our housing market.
