Fernley housing market shows signs of stabilization entering 2026

Fernley housing market shows signs of stabilization entering 2026

Welcome to the real estate market update for Fernley, with data current through January 17, 2026, reflecting activity for the week ending January 10, 2026.

The Fernley housing market continues to adjust as we move deeper into the new year. The median sales price is currently $390,000, down 9.3% since October 18, 2025, and 10.8% compared to the previous week, signaling that prices have softened after last year’s highs and are settling into a more normalized range.

Closed sales totaled five transactions this week, down 28.6% since October, despite a noticeable week-over-week increase. Overall, fewer homes are closing compared to the fall, which is consistent with seasonal slowdowns, affordability pressures from interest rates, and cautious buyer behavior, rather than a complete drop in demand.

Homes are taking longer to move through the market, with a median of 47 days to contract. Sellers are receiving an average of 98.2% of list price, though this figure does not account for seller concessions, which remain part of many negotiations. The median sold price per square foot is $253, up 7.7% since October, suggesting that while headline prices have eased, value on a per-square-foot basis remains relatively resilient.

There were eight new listings this week, bringing total active inventory to 58 homes. Housing supply now sits at approximately 11.6 weeks, up 45%, a notable increase that points toward a market that is shifting more clearly into balanced-market territory.

Home prices in Fernley are no longer accelerating the way they did in recent years and are showing signs of stabilization. Homes are taking longer to sell, which is giving buyers more time, leverage, and room to negotiate. The fast-paced environment of bidding wars and offers well above asking price has largely faded.

Sellers are still achieving close to their list prices, but concessions and pricing adjustments are becoming more common as inventory grows. While supply remains manageable, the increase in weeks of inventory suggests that strategic pricing and flexibility are becoming more important for sellers who want to secure a timely sale in today’s evolving market.
