Thinking about buying a home in Reno or anywhere in Northern Nevada? https://move2reno.org/buyerguide

Before you make an offer, you need to know the hidden pitfalls that could cost you thousands—and potentially your dream home.

In this in-depth episode, we break down the biggest buyer mistakes we see in the Reno real estate market—especially for out-of-state buyers unfamiliar with how things work here in Nevada. From flood zones and wildfire risks to negotiation missteps and using the wrong lender, we cover the critical details that could make or break your move.

👉 Here’s what you’ll learn:
• Why using a local lender matters (and how online lenders can derail your deal)
• How wildfire zones and flood maps affect your insurance and home value
• The truth about negotiating in this market—what works, what doesn’t
• What to watch out for when buying new construction
• Why your future resale value should be part of your decision now
• HOA rules, lot premiums, special assessments, and more

We also share local insights into which neighborhoods tend to appreciate best and how to evaluate areas based on your budget, lifestyle, and long-term plans.

Whether you’re moving from California or another state—or even relocating within Northern Nevada—this video is a must-watch for any serious homebuyer.
