The short answer is “yes.”  Overall, home prices are still up 2% over the same time last year.  They are expected to go back to pre-pandemic levels which are still historically high.  There is Buyer demand – especially for highly desirable homes and in all price ranges. November Market Report Local home prices are starting to look more like they did a year ago.  But we’re certainly in a different place than we were last year, when prices were soaring and setting records.  Of course, as we said at the time, those conditions were unsustainable.  Las Vegas Realtors reported that
