Las Vegas Market Report – May 2023

In May, local home prices increased from the previous month, though they are still well below their all time peak set one year earlier. Prices have now increased for a couple of months in a row heading into what is usually our strongest selling season. It seems safe to say that we’re bouncing back from the bottom of this recent downturn. Buyers seem to have more confidence regarding where interest rates are sitting which is great news for anyone looking to sell their home.   Median Home Price $442,120 -8.3% from May 2022 Homes Sold 2,316 -20.3% from May 2022

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
