2022 Year in Review – Las Vegas Housing Market Update

Year-End Summary We ended 2022 at the same median sales price of $425,000 that we ended with in December of 2021.  Besides entering what is usually the slowest time of year for the housing market, rising mortgage interest rates have caused a contraction of sales. At the same time, we know that the housing market is cyclical and that the bottom is not falling out.  This would be indicative of the median sale price being close to what it was at pre-pandemic levels. With prices leveling off and more homes available for sale, we’re seeing a more balanced market that makes

What happened in the real estate market in November 2022?

What happened? 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.

What Happened in the Real Estate Market in August?

Over the last three months, we have seen the sales prices slowly giving back some of the major gains we experienced over the past few years.  Even though home prices have leveled off lately, they’re still up substantially from last year.  When you combine that with rising mortgage rates and inflation, its no surprise to see some potential buyers sitting on the sidelines for now.  The positive news is that buyers have more homes to choose from now.  It has been about three years since we have had this amount of available inventory for sale. Median Home Price $450,000   +11.1%
