Hi, Nevadans!

Last week, we launched our Spanish immigration guide. We created it to help Nevadans navigate some of the most common—and often confusing—questions about rights and resources. If you’re one of our bilingual readers, we’d love your feedback on what’s useful or what’s missing. And if someone in your community could benefit from it, please consider passing it along:

Las Vegas home sellers saw a median profit of 53% in the third quarter of this year, down from 59.6% a year ago. The typical Las Vegas home sold in the third quarter had been owned for about eight and a half years, according to a new report from ATTOM, a real estate data analyst.

The median sale price of a home sold in Reno in the third quarter was $548,000, down from $555,000 in the second quarter, and down from $577,570 a year ago.

In terms of cash, the typical home sale generated a profit of $123,100, the report says, but notes “large disparities, with sales in the top major urban areas generating 18 times more in profit than those at the other end of the spectrum.”

The west coast swept the category of top large metropolitan areas with the largest raw dollar profits, with San Jose, CA leading the way with $740,500, followed by San Francisco, CA ($450,000); San Diego, CA ($350,000); Los Angeles, CA ($349,500); and Seattle, WA ($325,000).

ICYMI: Thousands across Nevada show up for ‘No Kings’ rally

Our very own Naoka Foreman got to chat with some attendees at the Henderson “No Kings” rally on Saturday, where she heard a loud and clear message: democracy and liberty are worth fighting for.

“ We’re not violent people. We care about our country. We love America just as much as everybody else, and we just wanna see it fair and work for all the people, not just the super rich and the corporations,” said attendee Keith Hubbell.

Energy secretary says nuclear workers on furlough, amid shutdown, hits national security: “During a news conference in Las Vegas, before visiting the Nevada National Security Site, [U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright] said the shutdown has led to an additional 68 federal nuclear employees being furloughed this week. That’s on top of 1,400 federal nuclear employees across the country who have already been let go. In addition, more than a thousand nuclear contractors in Nevada could receive notices by the end of the month because their work relies on the federal government remaining open.” (KNPR)
For extraterrestrial seekers in Nevada’s Mojave Desert, ‘the truth is out there’: “Skeptics say these ‘UFOs’ are probably just super stealth aircraft from the nearby Nellis Air Force Base. Ufologists, those people who believe in aliens, have a different explanation for why this stretch of the Great Basin Desert seems to be so popular among beings from the outer corners of the universe. Many believers cite the region’s proximity to the Nevada Test and Training Range and Area 51—a top-secret base that the US Central Intelligence Agency didn’t even admit was real until 2013.” (CNN)
