Las Vegas High Rise Condos Sold in January 2015
The Latest High Rise News
Today's buyers have 480 high rise condos to choose from in our most popular buildings. Over the past year we sold 537 in those same buildings. In January we only closed on 35 high rise condos. That's a drop from the 55 that we closed in December 2014. While this is a drop from December, in January of 2014 we only closed 32. It appears the slight drop is seasonal.
The good news for owners - the 537 we sold over the past twelve months brings the current inventory down to less than an 11 month supply of high rise condos. The high rise market still favors buyers but the market is gradually absorbing the inventory. If you've been sitting on the fence, you are not likely to see a better time to buy than the current market.
