Las Vegas High Rise Condos Sold in March 2015
Buyers in the market for a high rise in one of Las Vegas' top buildings have 505 options to choose from. Fewer than the 516 we had last month but more than the 480 condos listed in January. In April of 2014 there were only 446 high rise listings for sale. We sold 78 high rise condos in March. That's the highest number sold per month in a couple of years. Palms Place had 33 closings. That still leaves 45 transactions in all the other buildings. Not a bad month for Las Vegas High Rise condo owners. In March 2014, we sold 40 high rise condos.

Palms Place had the highest number of units sold with 33 transactions. The Mandarin and ONE Queensridge Place dominated the highest price transactions. All 7 of the $1M plus deals were either in the Mandarin Oriental or ONE Queensridge Place. For Las Vegas Luxury High Rise Condos, those two towers have become the top addresses.
Days On Market - 49 of the units sold last month went into contract with less than 30 days on the market. This is partially skewed by the number of developer units that sold at Palms Place, Veer Towers, the Mandarin and the Ogden. The developer units usually don't get entered into the MLS until they are about to go into contract. Excluding the developer units, the average high rise condo is staying on the market 98 days. Several of the units that sold last month were listed for more than a year.
Financing - Cash continues to rule the high rise market with 58 of the units sold purchased with cash. This includes six of the most expensive $1M plus condos sold. 14 of the purchases involved conventional loans. Alternative financing was used in six of the deals.
