Here’s a look at the Las Vegas Real Estate Market for July, 2017. According to a report released on July 6th by the Greater Las Vegas Association of REALTORS® (GLVAR), property prices continue to increase as Las Vegas moves into a real house shortage.

A Look at the Housing Stats

A Look at the Condo Market

What Does this Data Mean?

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

You’ll need be be an aggressive buyer if you’re looking for a home in the lower price range. In fact, anything at $300,000 or below is scarce these days. You would do better to look for something in the $350,000 price range and above. While the number of homes available did increase this month, you can’t afford to sit on the fence when it comes to deciding on the perfect home. Pausing to think could leave just enough room for someone to snatch the house our from under you. Paying cash? You are in good company. Cash sales were on the rise for the first part of 2017, with an increase of 27 percent from last year at the same time.
