According to ALN Apartment Data (September 2026), conventional Reno properties were 94.1% occupied with an average effective rent of $1,800 and an asking rent of $1,824. About 16% of properties were offering concessions, and 1,064 units were absorbed over the year.
Those are market-wide numbers. Reno is a set of submarkets that behave differently: Sparks and West Reno run tight, the North Valleys run loose, and Downtown rents sit well below the rest. An owner who prices and markets to the average leaves money on the table or sits vacant, so we work from the submarket and the block.
Concessions are where a management company shows what it can do. In a market where roughly one property in six is discounting to fill units, we have held rents and leased without concessions.
