Join us for an engaging discussion as we dissect current trends and strategies, from buying out-of-state properties to managing real estate transactions amidst a divorce. With a noticeable increase in single-family home listings and a decline in condo and townhome availability, we'll analyze what these changes mean for potential buyers and sellers.

As we navigate these topics, we'll also tackle Nevada's critical affordable housing crisis head-on, a shortage of 80,000 homes demanding urgent attention. Meanwhile, local initiatives are stepping up to provide lead hazard assessments for older homes, aiming to protect the health of young children.
