Today, 7,763 single-family homes are for sale in our MLS. That’s down from 8,040 when we did last month’s update. It’s 2.6% fewer homes for sale than in September but 140.5% more than the 3475 we found in the MLS last year.

We have 2201 condos and townhomes for today’s buyers to choose from today. The total number of homes for sale is 9964, down from 10,341 last month.

We sold 1643 single-family homes through the MLS in October., down from 1939 in September. Buyers closed on 512 condos and townhomes. The total number of homes sold in October was 2155, slightly more than 2492 in September. For single-family homes, the number sold in October was down 2.6% from September and up 140.5% over last October.

The number of homes for sale would represent a 4.6-month supply of homes if we continued selling 2155 homes per month. It isn’t quite a buyer’s market yet, but we appear to be moving in that direction. When we have more than a six-month supply of homes for sale, we will be in buyer’s territory.

The median home price resumed its slide in October. It was stable at $450K in August and September. In October, it dropped to $440K. That’s a $42,000 drop from our record high of $482,000 last May.  It's still 7.3% higher than October 2021.

Las Vegas Housing Market Update - September 2022

The number of homes for sale has increased slightly while the sales volume remains low.

As of today, we have 8,040 single-family homes listed for sale. That’s a slight increase from the 7,906 that were available last month. It’s 1.6% higher than the previous month but an incredible 134.5% over last year.

Condos and townhomes add 2321 options for today’s home buyers. The total number of homes for sale today is 10,341.

We sold 1939 single-family homes through the MLS in September. This includes Henderson, Las Vegas, and North Las Vegas but doesn’t include Boulder City and outlying areas. Condos and townhomes added 553 closings for the month. The total number of homes sold was 2492.  This is up 1.4% from August but down 36.7% over September 2021.

The number of homes sold each month has been gradually declining since June. Over the past 90 days, we have sold 7405 homes of all types. That averages about 2468 homes sold per month. At that rate, the 10,341 homes for sale today would be absorbed in 4.2 months if no new homes came on the market.

The National Association of Realtors looks at a 6 month supply of homes as a balanced market. Fewer favors sellers, and more is a buyer’s market. We’re not at a buyer’s market yet, but it appears we’re heading in that direction.

The Median Home Price stayed stable in September. The median price for the second month in a row was $450,000. Is this an indication that our market has reached the bottom? I doubt it, especially since we expect an additional price hike at the next Fed meeting.

Las Vegas and Henderson Luxury Homes

We have 791 single-family homes listed for $1M+ today, down from 795 last month and 812 the month before. Condos and townhomes offer 96 options for luxury home buyers. The total number of luxury homes for sale is 887.

In the years I’ve been reporting on the top luxury home sales, this is the first time Centennial Hills made the top three. It’s a fast-growing area where we can still find larger parcels of land for that dream home with space.

Las Vegas Housing Market Update - August 2022

The number of homes for sale rises slightly, but sales volume and prices are down.

Today we have 7,906 single-family homes for sale without offers. We have 9.1% more homes for sale than we had last month and 145.6% more than last year.

Condos and townhomes add 2,278 options for today’s buyers. That’s up from 1,852 for sale last month and 1,140 the time last year. The Total number of homes for sale is 10,184. While inventory is steadily rising, sales are falling.

We sold 1,859 single-family homes in August. Condos and townhomes added 661 properties that changed hands. The total number of homes sold in August was 2520. The number of single-family homes sold dropped 3.1% from July and 37.6% from August 2021.

The median home price dropped for a third month to $450,000. That’s a 3.2% drop from July but still 11.1% higher than the median home price from August 2021.

Is it a buyer’s market or a seller’s market? The National Association of Realtors views a balanced market as one with 6 months of inventory. Less is a seller’s market, and more favors buyers. The 10,184 homes listed today would represent 3 months of inventory if we sold as many per month as we sold over the past year.

Unfortunately, we’re not selling as many in the current market. Over the past three months, we’ve averaged 2624 homes sold. At that rate, the current inventory is approaching a 4-month supply. Not a buyer’s market yet, but sellers have to price their homes just right, and the house has to show well in this market.

Las Vegas and Henderson Luxury Homes

We have 795 single-family homes listed for $1M+ for sale today, down slightly from 812 last month. Condos and townhomes offer 94 options for luxury home buyers. That’s also a slight drop from the 100 available last month.

Las Vegas Housing Market Update - July 2022

In last month's update, we noted that the Las Vegas Housing Market was shifting with more homes coming on the market and lower sales. The shift has continued.

Today we have 7699 single-family homes for sale in the Greater Las Vegas/Henderson/North Las Vegas market. That's 27% more than last month and 143.8% more than a year ago.

Condos and townhomes offer 2176 more options. That's also up from 1852 for sale last month and 1140 a year ago.

The total number of homes for sale today is 9875, up from 7807 last month. It's more than double the 4290 total number of homes we had for sale this time last year.

We sold 1967 single-family homes in July. Condos and townhomes added 657 more closings. This number is also a drop from last month and last year. The number of single-family homes sold in July is 22.6% less than we sold in June and 38.4% less than July 2021.

The median home price dropped slightly last month. In July, it fell 3.1% from $480K to $465K. It's still up 14.8% over July 2021. It's the second month in a row where prices have declined.

The National Association of Realtors has a long-standing philosophy that a six-month supply of homes represents a "balanced" market. Less than six is a seller's market, and more than six is a buyer's market.

Over the past year, we've sold an average of 3630 homes each month. If we continued to sell that many per month, today's inventory would still be less than a 3 month supply. Unfortunately, I don't think we will continue selling 3630 per month.

The total number of homes sold per month has declined for two months, with 3702 sold in May and 3351 sold in June. With 2624 in July, we might be heading towards an average of 2500 homes per month. At that rate, today's inventory would be a 4 month supply. Still not a balanced market, but if we continue this pattern, we'll be there before long.

Las Vegas and Henderson Luxury Homes

The luxury market isn't seeing as much of an increase in the number of homes for sale. Today we have 812 single-family homes listed for more than $1M, up slightly from 808 last month.

Las Vegas Housing Market Update - June 2022

The Las Vegas housing market appears to be shifting, with more inventory for buyers. Today, 5955 single-family homes are listed for sale in the MLS. Condos and townhomes provide 1852 options for buyers.

The total number of homes for sale is currently 7807. That's a 61% jump from 5794 homes for sale last month. It's more than double the 3732 homes that were for sale at this time last year.

The number of homes sold is also down; in June, 2550 single-family homes were sold through the MLS. And Condos and townhomes added 801 closings. Total homes sold was 3351 compared to 3702 that sold in May. It's a 24.7% drop from the 4450 sold in June 2021.

The Median Home Price dips slightly for the first time in over two years. The median reached $482K in May. In June, it slid back a modest .4% to $480K. That's still 21.5% higher than last June's median price of $395K.

The increasing number of homes for sale and declining sales indicate that our market is beginning to shift. Over the past year, we've sold an average of 3760 homes per month. At that rate, today's 7807 homes for sale is still only a 2-month inventory of homes for sale. However, if we continue to sell 3351 homes per month, the inventory becomes 2.3 months of supply.

Historically, a 6 month supply of homes for sale is considered a balanced market. Less than 6 is a seller's market, and more than 6 is a buyer's market. We're still in a seller's market, but there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel for home buyers.

Las Vegas and Henderson Luxury Homes

The number of luxury homes for sale is also increasing. Today we have 808 single-family homes listed for more than $1M, up from 749 last month. There are 10ths 05 condos and townhomes priced over $1M, up from 92 last month.

We sold 144 single-family homes for more than $1M in June, down from 161 in May. Only 6 condos sold for more than $1M compared to 13 in May.

And of course, all 4 of the top deals in June were purchased with cash. See details below.

The increasing number of homes for sale does not change us into a buyer's market, at least not yet. We sold 3994 homes of all types per month over the past year. At that rate of sales, today's homes are only a 1.45-month supply of homes for sale. Less than a six-month supply is considered a seller's market.

Las Vegas Housing Market Update - March 2021

Are you looking to buy a home in Las Vegas or Henderson? Be prepared for a challenge. The number of single-family homes for sale has reached a record low. It's even lower than the lowest number of homes for sale back in 2004 as we headed into the boom before the crash.

As of today, we have 1952 Single-Family homes for sale in the MLS. That includes Las Vegas, Henderson, and the City of North Las Vegas. It doesn't include Boulder City, Laughlin, and the outlying areas of Clark County.

There are 1162 condos and townhomes for sale. If you can consider one of these housing types, you will have a better chance of buying than having a single-family home. Our MLS now has a "Coming Soon" status. Even in that category, there are only 171 single-family homes. Condos and townhomes provide another 25 options.

The total number of homes for sale in greater Las Vegas is 3114. The coming soon category hints at 196 homes that are soon to hit the market. From our experience, this new "coming soon" category is used as a tool to gin up interest and bidding wars before homes are listed for sale.

We sold 3605 single-family homes in March. Condos and townhomes added 1078 closings for the month. A total of 4683 homes changed hands during the month.  That's 34.7% more than in February and 35.1% higher than March 2020.

Supply of Homes for Sale - If we continued selling 4683 homes per month, today's inventory would sell in less than three weeks. Over the past twelve months, 3614 homes have sold per month on average. At that rate, today's inventory would only last .86 months if no new homes come on the market. Six months of inventory is considered a "balanced market". More favors buyers. Fewer favors sellers.

The Median Home Price made another jump in March. After months of being stable at $345K, it went to $355K in February. March saw it rise to $363K. That's a 2.3% increase over February and a 13.8% increase year over year.  Half of the homes sold were more expensive, and half were that price or less. Buyers looking for homes that cost $400K or less will find stiff competition in this market.

The Median Home Price was stable at $345K for November, December, and January. In February, it jumped to $355K. That’s 2.9% higher than January and 12.3% higher than February 2020.

If we only considered Single Family Homes, we have 3.5% less than July and 40.3% less than this time last year.

We sold 2785 single-family homes in August plus 700 condos and townhomes. That was a 12.5% drop from single-family homes that sold in July and an 8.1% drop from August of last year.

Supply of Homes For Sale - We’ve sold an average of 3081 homes of all types over the past year. At that rate, today’s 7222 homes for sale would be absorbed in 2.3 months if no new homes came onto the market. Less than a six month supply is considered a seller’s market.

The Median Home Price continues to rise. In August it reached a new record high of $335,000. That’s a $10,000 or 1.5% jump over July’s $325K. It’s 9.8% higher than the median price from August 2019 when the median was $303K.

Distress Sales - As of today, we have 34 Foreclosures in the MLS. There are 47 short sales listed. Total distress properties is 81, down from last month’s 101. There is widespread speculation that home values can’t continue to go up. If we’re going to start seeing a decline in the market, it will most likely start with growing inventory and more distress sales.

Las Vegas Housing Market Update - March 2020

Las Vegas and Henderson home buyers have 5749 single family homes available today.  Up from 4276 when I updated my market report last month.  Condos and town homes add 2217 options for today’s buyers.  Total homes available in the MLS at the moment are 7966. 

We sold 2763 single family homes plus 775 condos and town homes in March.  Total homes sold was 3538.  That’s 5.2% higher than a year ago and considerably higher than the 3055 homes of all types that sold in February.

The median home price also soared to $319,000 up from 

$316K in February.  That’s higher than it was at the peak of the market in 2006. 

Supply of homes for sale - we have averaged 3392 homes sold per month over the past twelve months.  If we continued selling at that rate, today’s inventory of homes available would be sold absorbed in 2.3 months.  The tight inventory still favors sellers.

Unfortunately, the coronavirus shutdown is impacting real estate.  One of my marketing reps told me she thinks new escrows are down probably 40%.  I watch how many homes are going into contract on a daily basis and there has definitely been a drop.  The first few days of the shutdown (it was announced on 3/17) didn’t show a big drop.  However, by the first weekend we saw a drop.  We went from over 100 contracts per day to only 150 contracts from 3/21-3/23.  If this slowdown continues and inventory begins to build up, it is likely to bring prices down.  This is becoming a great time to buy if you are in the position to do so.

Luxury Home buyers have 459 single family homes plus 89 condos and town homes to choose from today.

The top three homes sold in June includes one of the most expensive homes ever sold in Las Vegas.  Our most expensive home last month sold for $17.5 Million.  It was located in Summerlin’s Enclaves at Country Club Hills.  This price slightly tops the price paid for 1186 MacDonald Ranch Dr., in Henderson’s MacDonald Highlands.  That home sold to heirs of Walmart founder Sam Walton for $17.5 Million in 2007.  It’s nice to see we finally have a home that has tied the top of the market price.

1625 Enclave Ct was not listed for sale when it was purchased by David Copperfield for $17.55 Million.  The home was built in 2009.  The main house offers 18,611 sf of luxury living space.  Guest quarters and other amenities add an extra 14,021 sf for a total of 36,501 sf.  The home is situated on 1.58 acres behind the guard gates of Country Club Hills.  A second mechanical gate offers added privacy.

Second most expensive home sold in June was also in Summerlin.  23 Hawk Ridge Dr was listed for $8.475M and sold for $7M.  This home in the Ridges of Summerlin offered 10,933 sf. With 5 bedrooms and 9 baths.

Las Vegas Housing Update - May 2016

Temperatures are heating up and so is the Las Vegas housing market.  The median price has hovered around $220K for several months.  May was the month when it finally broke away from the plateau.  The median home price soared to $229K.  That’s an 8.5% increase over last year’s median of $211,250.  With low inventory, especially in the entry level price ranges, we expect it will go higher.

The number of homes listed for sale continues to be low.  There are 7029 single family homes available in today’s MLS.  Condos, townhomes and high rise properties add an extra 2121 options for buyers.  A total of 9150 homes are now available in the MLS.  At this time last year, we had 9637 homes available.

Over the past year, we’ve averaged 3130 homes sold per month.  At that rate, today’s inventory would last only 2.9 months.  The lack of inventory definitely favors sellers.

We sold 2969 single family homes in May.  Condos, high rise and townhomes added 724 properties that changed hands.  A total of 3693 homes sold in May.  That is up from 3256 homes sold in May 2015.
