We sold 2609 single family homes through the Las Vegas MLS in September.  We sold 556 condos, townhomes and high rise properties.  The total number of homes sold in the Las Vegas area was 3165.  That isn't bad for a month that included back to school plus Labor Day week-end.  

We sold a total of 3358 homes in August 2015.  Homes that close in September go into contract in August.  Everyone is enjoying the last days of Summer and we expect closings to drop in September.  Not surprising that we came in with 3165 last month.  In September 2014 we sold 2907 homes.  We sold 258 more homes this year compared to last year.

Foreclosures were involved in 182 of the single family homes sold and 42 of the condos sold in September.  Down from 236 foreclosures in August 2015 and 254 in September 2014.

Short sales and foreclosures combined are down to 13.9% of the homes that sold in September 2015.  It's .5% higher than last month but a healthy drop from 19.3% in September 2014.  Better yet is the improvement over 34% distress sales in 2013.
