Housing in Fernley
Fernley's housing market carries a real, disclosed cross-source price spread, but is consistently, genuinely more affordable than Reno or Sparks -- the clearest reason a budget-conscious mover would specifically choose Fernley within the broader Reno-metro region.

Redfin cited a $408,000 median sale price (up 6.5% YoY) and a $402,000 average sale price; Zillow's modeled typical home value ran lower at $369,793 (DOWN 5.3% YoY -- a real, disclosed contrast with Redfin's rising figure); a June 2026 median list price ran $360,000; Lyon County's own Q1 2026 reading cited $410,000; and a July 2026 reading cited $449,000. All are disclosed together rather than reconciled.
Roughly 25% below the Reno-Sparks metro median
Regardless of which specific figure is used, every source agrees Fernley sits meaningfully below the broader Reno-Sparks metro median documented in this dataset's reno-nv.js and sparks-nv.js records -- one source frames the gap at roughly 25%, Fernley's single most consistent, concrete housing advantage.
Confirm current, address-specific listings directly
Given the real, disclosed spread across sources and the genuine month-to-month volatility in some of the readings above, confirm current pricing directly with a local agent or listing service rather than relying on any single cited figure for a specific purchase decision.
