A Look at the Housing Stats

A Look at the Condo Market

What Does this Data Mean?

Property prices have risen steadily over the last five years. Even with the current increases, prices have slowed down during the year and a half. This slow, steady movement is good news for the real estate market because it means we’re not seeing steep increases and extreme dips in pricing.

What does this mean if you’re buying a house in Las Vegas?

Even with prices rising and inventory stalling, home prices in Las Vegas are still a great deal when you compare them to home prices in comparative areas of California. You may need to summon some patience if you’re looking for properties on the lower end of the price scale. The low volume of inventory makes it a bit more challenging for those on a tight budget.

What does this mean if you’re selling a house in Las Vegas?

The low inventory makes a different challenge for home sellers. Those seeking a new home to purchase while they are selling their existing property may need to be time management pros to get things lined up with few delays. The percentage of homes that sold within 60-days for the month of February is 69.6 percent. The percentage of condos that sold within 60-days for the month of February is an impressive 76.5 percent. Setting your asking price right the first time is important and can reduce the risk of delays and lengthy negotiations.
