The Urban Core of West Summerlin

There are exciting things brewing in West Summerlin!  Summerlin West Urban Core Takes Shape! Howard Hughes Corporation has stated that the Summerlin West Urban Core will be the “Yin to the Yang of Downtown Summerlin.”  What does that mean? I think it means that Urban Core will be a different type of venue for Summerlin West residents and visitors.  From what we hear, its going to have an upscale shopping and dining district complete with a grocer (hmmm… Whole Foods?).  Also, to include “The Hub” – an outdoor gathering space with an area for events; much like The Green at

Las Vegas Market Report – June 2023

What really happened in the housing market in June 2023? After increasing gradually for a couple of months, it looks like local home prices have hit a plateau – at least for now.  The number of homes being sold and available for sale was also remarkably similar from May.  Home builders are doing what they can to bring more homes to the market, but we will need more homes available to sell.  Our inventory shortage is counteracting any negative response to the higher interest rates right now. Median Home Price $440,990  -8.1% from June 2022 Homes Sold 2,263  -14.1% from

What happened in the Las Vegas real estate market in February 2023?

The local Las Vegas housing market is much more balanced now than it has been in recent years.  Instead of sellers having full advantage, buyers are now in a better position, since prices have stabilized and we have more homes on the market. We’ve seen two straight months of stable home prices.  It was encouraging to see sales increase from January to February, while new listings continue to decline. Even with mortgage interest rates reaching 7% recently, this shows a strong underlying interest in owning a home here in Las Vegas. Median Home Price $424,995 -5.6% from February 2022 Homes Sold

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
