Questioning if you’re in the right place can lead to some distress, especially when you start to think about what moving entails – finding a new home, listing your old home, packing, job security, etc. While we won’t say that moving is ever easy or always the right move, there are some things to be watchful for. Here are a few signs it’s time to relocate to Reno.

Financially Responsible

Prices are increasing everywhere, especially in the real estate market. When you compare the cost of living in California and other metros to the cost of living in Reno, Northern Nevada may help you increase the amount of disposable income you have to spend each month. Consider if the housing, utilities, food, healthcare, education, transportation, etc., are more affordable for you in Reno compared to the costs you face now.

Rewarding Job Opportunities

The pandemic has created some burnout in several industries, and it’s becoming a time of transition. Many are looking to switch jobs, companies, and even career fields. If you’re feeling overworked and underappreciated in your current career, take a look at the job opportunities in Reno. With an entrepreneurial spirit and a growth in tech and manufacturing employment opportunities, Reno businesses are always looking to add to their creative workforces.

Overall Happiness

One complaint can spiral into many. If you’re finding it hard to find the bright side in where you’re currently living, it may be time to move. Your peace of mind and mental health is the most important factor to consider. Your home should be an oasis, a place where you can unwind at the end of the day and create beautiful memories, but if it’s becoming a stress-inducer or if it no longer offers you the space you need, consider new solutions.

Looking to Explore

Many metropolitan areas fall short on open space and outdoor activities available. If you have the heart of an explorer, want to breathe in the fresh air, or have an outdoor hobby, Reno is a great place to be. With tons of hiking and biking trails, an easy commute to Tahoe, and tons of parks and green spaces, you’ll never run out of areas to explore and spend your free time.

Easier Commutes

Are you spending hours in traffic each day? It’s common in cities and suburbs worldwide, but in Reno, you can get practically anywhere around the city in under 20 minutes. Chauffeuring kids to school or heading into the office is shockingly quick. Can you say that about where you’re living now?

 

Reno is a great place to call home, but we recommend weighing the pros and cons for yourself. These are but some of the signs it’s time to relocate to Reno, but if you’d like to chat about your personal circumstances and what it’s like living in the Reno-Sparks community, contact the David Morris Group.

Moving can be time-consuming and requires a lot of energy to ensure everything goes smoothly. If you plan to pack up and move into a new home sometime this year, be sure to save these moving tips that will make relocating less stressful.

 

  1. Each member of the household should pack their essentials in an overnight bag. Include a few days worth of clothes, any toiletries needed, and important electronics.
  2. The items that need to be unpacked first should be packed in clear storage containers, so you can see what’s in them and separate them from the sea of cardboard boxes. These items should include the things you’ll need to get into the boxes, important documents, cleaning supplies, etc.
  3. When labeling your boxes, make sure to include what’s in them and which room they go in. Also, be sure to label the boxes on the side, so you can read them when they’re stacked on top of one another.
  4. When packing makeup, add an extra cotton pad or cotton ball in powder products to keep it from breaking during the move.
  5. To reduce the risk of your dishware breaking, pack plates vertically.
  6. Have sandwich bags ready for the small parts and pieces for anything you need to take apart and put back together in your new place. Be sure to label the bags with what the parts are for and which room they go in as well.
  7. Snap a picture of how all of your electronics are connected, so you have something to reference when setting up everything in your new home.
  8. If you’re moving your refrigerator, defrost it at least 24 hours before moving and wipe up any liquid.
  9. If you don’t want to purchase bubble wrap or packing paper, wrap your fragile items in articles of clothing.
  10. If you’re packing chairs, tables, and any other furniture item with legs, use wooden beams to keep them stable. Wrap the piece of furniture in a sturdy cloth or blanket, then criss-cross a pair of beams in the center of the legs. Secure the beams to the legs with lots of packing tape.

There are all kinds of ways you can make moving a little easier on you and everyone in your household. These are our favorite moving tips that will make relocating less stressful, but we’re always here to offer advice. ​​​​If you have questions about moving or what it’s like relocating to the Reno-Sparks community, contact the David Morris Group.

Across Northern Nevada, there has been a rebound and a rebirth. Retailers are coming back, and the City of Reno is focusing on new economic developments that move away from the gaming industry, which has been rooted in the city’s history for decades. Let’s take a look at the Reno revitalization and how business is booming across the area.

Retailers are Bouncing Back

The pandemic caused a lot of restrictions and strains on businesses across the world, and Reno was no different, but in the third quarter of 2021, we’ve seen some massive improvements to how the city and its residents are adjusting. According to Nevada’s Department of Taxation, Washoe County’s taxable sales for July totaled more than $1 billion, a 23% increase from July 2020. Taxable sales for June also showed a 30% increase year-over-year at $1.16 billion.

 

With the influx of relocators from California, bringing their existing businesses or creating a franchise location, business is expanding, and retailers are seeing amazing sales volumes. In fact, commercial vacancies are below the already low values seen before the pandemic hit.

Good News for Retail Centers

The Reno and Sparks area has been undergoing a lot of revitalization and change over the last few years. The pandemic had put a pause on some of the construction projects as many weren’t sure how Reno would bounce back, but with the increase in retail sales and vacancies, there’s a renewed vigor for projects like The Oddie District in Sparks, as well as the Reno Public Market and the retail component of the Reno Experience District.

Reno Continues to Revitalize the City

The wave of retailer growth isn’t the only change you can expect from the City of Reno. The recent closure of Harrah’s after over 80 years in Reno was a big push for the city to broaden its economy and move away from the gaming industry. The hotel-casino is being converted into the Reno City Center, a mixed-use development with one and two-bedroom residential units, commercial office space, restaurants, and retail space.

 

City leaders are hoping to use the excitement for the city center to push more developments that would transform the gaming destination downtown Reno is into a place full of affordable living spaces, vibrant restaurants, stylish hotel rooms, and exciting entertainment options.

 

Partnered with EDAWN’s efforts on bringing technology companies, manufacturing businesses, and non-gaming industries into the region, the city is making marked improvements to reduce its reliance on casinos and the gaming industry as a whole.

 

Every year Reno evolves and finds new opportunities to promote growth and change. Reno’s ability to bounce back and accept innovation makes us excited to see what 2022 has in store. ​​​​If you have questions about moving or what it’s like relocating to the Reno-Sparks community, contact the David Morris Group.

David Morris Group - Relocation Guide Reno is One of the Best Ski Towns in the U.S. - Reno Relocation Guide - Relocating to Reno - Moving to Reno - Reno Nevada Relocation Guide

We acknowledge that we may be a little biased to call Reno the best ski town in the U.S., but it’s true. With more than a dozen ski resorts just a short driving distance from the Biggest Little City in the World, we’re pretty lucky to be able to enjoy all of the amenities and winter sports offered by being so close to the mountains.

 

Northern Nevada also once had the highest concentration of ski and snowboard resorts in all of North America. While the area has slipped in the rankings slightly, there are no shortage of resorts to visit, including:

  1. Boreal
  2. Diamond Peak
  3. Donner Ski Ranch
  4. Granlibakken
  5. Heavenly Mountain Resort
  6. Homewood Mountain Resort
  7. Kirkwood Mountain Resort
  8. Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe
  9. Northstar California Resort
  10. Palisades Tahoe
  11. Royal Gorge
  12. Sierra-at-Tahoe
  13. Soda Springs Ski Resort
  14. Sugar Bowl Resort
  15. Tahoe Donner

The Reno-Tahoe area gets more than 400 inches of snow each year, and the ski season often lasts from November through April. This fact alone draws in hundreds of skiers and snowboarders each year, but there are some places that only locals would know about, like Sky Tavern.

 

Sky Tavern has taught thousands of people how to ski or ride, and recently they won the coveted National Ski Area Association “Conversion Cup.” That’s an award given to the North American ski area deemed best at “creating lifelong enthusiasts.” Sky Tavern isn’t just known for teaching kids to navigate the fresh powder like pros. They also host a variety of programs and classes, including a ski swap and a ski and snowboard rental.

 

If you still don’t believe us when we say Reno is one of the best ski towns in the U.S., Reno was also voted the second-best ski town in the USA TODAY 10BEST Reader’s Choice 2016.

 

The snowy weather is just one of the things we love about calling Reno home. ​​​​If you have questions about moving or what it’s like relocating to the Reno-Sparks community, contact the David Morris Group. We’re always happy to share our knowledge of the area and the real estate market!

David Morris Group - Relocation Guide Earthquake Preparedness - Earthquake Preparedness Kit - Emergency Preparedness - Reno Relocation Guide

Did you know that the University of Nevada, Reno has a seismological laboratory? They monitor all of the earthquakes and tremors that occur in the area and keep a record of them. While many are relatively small and go undetected by residents, Reno has been known to experience larger earthquakes and aftershocks from earthquakes happening in California. With that information in mind, we’ve put together some earthquake preparedness tips that you should keep handy.

Create an Earthquake Kit

Every home should have an emergency kit with supplies that can sustain every individual in the house (including pets) for three days to a week. Items you should add to your emergency kit include:

  • Non-perishable food
  • Bottled water – 1-gallon per person per day
  • Battery-powered radio
  • First aid kit
  • Sleeping bags and blankets
  • Manual can opener
  • Waterproof/windproof matches
  • Flashlight and spare batteries
  • Water purification tablets
  • Utility knife
  • Emergency candles
  • Extra eyeglasses/contact lenses
  • Essential medications
  • Extra clothing
  • Plastic bags and ties
  • Disinfectant
  • Paper cups and plates
  • Personal toiletries and hygiene products
  • Baby/infant supplies
  • Aluminum foil
  • Paper towels
  • Plastic utensils
  • Soap
  • Work gloves
  • Important documents

What to do During an Earthquake

If you are inside:

  1. Get low to the ground and get under a sturdy piece of furniture, like a table, desk, etc. If there isn’t anything sturdy to cover you, head to an inside corner of the building and cover your head with your hands. Be sure to stay away from glass, windows, and anything that could fall on you.
  2. If you’re in bed when the shaking begins, stay there and protect your head and body with your pillows and blankets. If there is a large light fixture/fan above you, move to a safer place.
  3. If you’re close to a strongly supported, loadbearing doorway, use it as shelter, but remember to remain low and protect your head with your arms.
  4. Stay in a safe place until the shaking stops, and do not use elevators.

If you are outside:

  1. Stay outside and move away from buildings, streetlights, and utility wires. Find an open space you can stay until the shaking stops.

If you are in your car:

  1. Stop where it is safe to do so and avoid being near or under buildings, trees, overpasses, lights, utility wires, etc.

What to Expect After an Earthquake

  • Aftershocks are common after an earthquake, and they can occur in the first hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake. These aftershocks are usually less violent than the main earthquake, but they can still do damage and should be handled just as earthquakes are.
  • Only use the phone for emergency calls as the lines can become jammed after a natural disaster.
  • Open cabinets cautiously as objects have likely been jostled and may fall out.
  • Clean up spilled medicines, bleaches, gasoline, and all other flammable liquids immediately.
  • Inspect your chimneys for damage.
  • Inspect utilities.
    • Check for gas leaks. If you smell gas or hear a hissing noise, open a window and quickly leave the building. Turn off the gas if you can and call the gas company from a neighbor’s home.
    • Look for electrical system damage. If you see sparks or broken or frayed wires, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box or circuit breaker. If you have to step in water to get to the fuse box or circuit breaker, call an electrician.
    • Check for sewage and damage to the water lines. If sewage lines are damaged, avoid using the toilets and call a plumber. If water pipes are damaged, contact the water company and avoid using water from the tap.

Staying prepared for any emergency situation can help ease a stressful situation. We hope this earthquake preparedness guide helped you learn about how you should handle an earthquake should you ever experience one.

David Morris Group - Relocation Guide Navigating the Snow and Ice - Reno Relocation Guide - Reno Winter Weather Prep - Reno Home Winterization Tips - Winterizing Home

The weather is fickle in Reno, and it’s easy to see it change from sunshine to snow in the blink of an eye. We’ve even seen snow blanket the streets in May during a late season. If you’ve never lived in a town that experiences snow or if it’s simply been a while since you’ve seen snowflakes fall from the sky, check out how you should be navigating the snow and ice this winter.

Winterizing Your Home

Each winter, homeowners can face unexpected expenses and inconveniences to make drastic repairs after a battle with frozen pipes. Luckily, there are some precautions you can take to avoid any problems.

  • Inside Preparations:
    • Insulate pipes or faucets in unheated areas. If you have water pipes in a garage or crawl space under the house, wrap them before temperatures plummet.
    • Seal off access doors, air vents, and cracks. Repair any areas where cold winter winds can get in to freeze exposed pipes, but do not plug air vents that are needed for your furnace and water heater.
    • Know where the master water shutoff valve is and which way to turn it to shut off the water. Shutting the water off in times of a pipe burst can save your home from damage and save you money.
  • Outside Preparations:
    • Shut off and drain your irrigation system. Disconnect outdoor hoses from faucets and allow them to drain.
    • Insulate outdoor pipes and faucets.

Winter Driving Tips

Normal driving habits will need to be modified to drive safely in winter weather. When driving, be sure to:

  • Put on your low beam headlights. The reflection of the light off snow, ice, and water can diminish your vision.
  • Don’t use cruise control.
  • Clear the windows of snow and ice and defog windows before driving.
  • Avoid making quick starts and sudden stops.
  • Keep tire chains with you during the winter months.
  • Know the snow and ice control routes that will tell you when you can expect the streets you will be driving along to be plowed.

Winter Resources

Navigating the snow and ice takes some time and practice when you’re new to the area, but with some preparation, you’ll be handling the cold weather like a longtime resident in no time! ​​If you have questions about moving or what it’s like relocating to the Reno-Sparks community, contact the David Morris Group.

Relocation Guide: Wildfire Emergency Preparedness

David Morris Group - Relocation Guide Wildfire Emergency Preparedness - reno wildfire emergency preparedness plan - reno relocation guide - reno wildfires

Reno’s close proximity to Lake Tahoe and dense vegetation make wildfires a natural disaster that residents may face. With that in mind, we’ve created a wildfire emergency preparedness guide with some helpful information and resources.

Prevention and Preparedness

Live more safely with the threat of wildfire by making your home fire safe, improving your home’s defensible space, making sure there’s easy access to your neighborhood and home, and having an evacuation plan.

 

  • Fire Safe Homes – Ensuring your home is well constructed and well maintained will decrease the risks of your home igniting during a wildfire.
    • Siding – Make sure there are no gaps in the siding and trim of your home. Replace the poorly maintained materials or fill them with good quality caulk.
    • Rain Gutters – Plant debris should regularly be removed from rain gutters.
    • Wooden Fences – Keep wooden fences in good condition and have a noncombustible section or gate next to the first five feet of your home.
  • Improve Defensible Space – Take care of the vegetation around your home.
    • Base of Home – Keep combustible materials away from the first 5 feet of your home. Well irrigated plants, rock mulches, or hard surfaces should be the only things near your home.
    • Green Areas – The landscape within the first 30 feet of the home should have very little flammable vegetation with dead vegetation being removed immediately. Keep healthy, green, and well-irrigated plants in this area.
  • Accessibility – Make sure that emergency responders can easily access your home and neighborhood. This will allow quick response times and easy evacuations if necessary.
    • Address – Address signs should be easy to read. Use contrasting noncombustible material and make sure the numbers are at least six inches high.
    • Street Signs – Each intersection should be posted with street signs made of reflective and noncombustible material.
    • Driveway – If your driveway is longer than 150 feet, a turnaround suitable and large enough for fire equipment is required.
  • Evacuation Prep – Make sure that your family understands how to safely and effectively evacuate by taking steps to prepare in advance.
    • Have emergency phone numbers posted in central areas of your home that are easily accessible.
    • Know how to turn off the water, gas, and electricity to your home.
    • Have a safe meeting place to gather with your family if you get separated in an emergency.
    • Have photos and videos of your house, the landscape, and the contents in your home. This will be important for insurance purposes. Try to keep this up to date.
    • Lay out the possible escape routes and safe area, so that everyone in your family knows their escape routes wherever they are in the home.
    • Have an EVACUATED sign ready to go that you can post and make clearly visible from the street.
  • To-Go Bags – Prep for an emergency by having at least a three-day supply of necessities ready to go and easily accessible for every member of your household. Include things like:
    • Clothing and personal toiletries.
    • Flashlight, portable radio, extra batteries, and chargers.
    • Extra set of car and house keys.
    • Contact information for family, friends, physicians, insurance, etc.
    • Important documents like birth certificates, passports, licenses, etc.
    • Cash

Resources

Staying prepared for any emergency situation can help ease a stressful situation. We hope this wildfire emergency preparedness guide helped you learn about the precautions you can take now to keep your home safe, and please use the resources we’ve outlined to stay up to date on how to protect yourself.

Relocation Guide: Costs of Moving to a New Home

/in /by

David Morris Group - Relocation Guide Costs of Moving to a New Home - Moving Costs - Hidden Moving Costs - Costs to Move to a New Home - Costs to Move Out - Reno Relocation Guide

Purchasing and selling a home can come with some unexpected or hidden costs, and the same is true for moving. The less obvious costs of moving to a new home can catch some homeowners by surprise, and we want you to be prepared for every step of your home purchase experience. Below are some costs to consider and prepare for before making a move.

1. Moving Supplies

Safely transporting your belongings to your new home starts with proper packing. You’ll likely need a variety of boxes, packing tape, packing peanuts, moving blankets, and packing paper. We recommend reaching out to your network of friends, family, and coworkers to see if they have any supplies they’re willing to donate. If you’re looking to buy boxes, they run anywhere from $1 – $15, depending on the size.

2. Movers

Moving is a big production, and it’s likely you’ll need to hire a company to help. Remember to vet the moving companies, check their reputation, get references, and most importantly, ask about cost and what is included in the estimate. You don’t want to be blindsided by an added charge that wasn’t explained to you when you asked for an estimate, so make sure they are explicit on what you’re paying for. Hiring professional movers costs an average of between $562 and $1,554, while an out-of-state or cross-country move averages about $1,000 per room.

3. Professional Cleaning

A new home is a fresh start, so why not give the home a fresh start as well? Paying for a professional cleaner to come in and deep clean your new home is a great way to prepare to make the house a home. Cleaning companies typically charge by the hour or by the square footage. On average, homeowners report spending between $116 and $235 to have their homes professionally cleaned.

4. Paint

Painting a home is much easier when the home is empty. You can cut some costs by doing it yourself and only paying for the supplies you need, or you can pay a professional crew to get it done quickly. The painting of the interior of your home by professionals will cost, on average, somewhere between $1.50 and $4 per square foot.

5. Utilities

Before moving in, you’ll want to have water, gas, electricity, internet, and cable set up. Some utility companies may charge an added set-up fee or a service fee, so be sure to keep a little extra money set aside to cover those costs. Check with your local utility providers to get a breakdown of the first-time costs and the monthly costs.

 

These are just the costs that people don’t think about or underestimate! There are also other items to prepare for like the cost of new furniture, a storage unit, lawn care, groceries, changing the locks, a security system, etc. We recommend sitting down to budget out how much you expect to spend to move and settle into your new home, then add a generous cushion for any unexpected costs that may arise.
