  • Rental Rate (MLS Monthly Average April 2007): $1537/month Month Change +$84/month

My analysis:  The rental market has been consistenly rising since November 2006.  Monthly rents are up an average of $274/month since January 2007.

  • Unemployment Rate (March 2007)  4.2%, Year Change +13.5%

My analysis:  We need more jobs to continue strong growth.  Our employment rate is up from a year ago but has dropped considerably in the last couple of months!

Tourism/Gaming Conditions:

  • McCarran Airport Total Passengers (March 2007):  4,175,282 Year Change +3.3%

  • Hotel/Motel Occupancy (March 2007):  93.9%  Year Change -0.2%

My analysis:  The gaming/tourism industry is still strong. Gaming revenue/Occupancy is not in sync with Airport Passenters/Visitor Voume and Convention Attendance!

Hi Renee,

I usually do this type of report per subdivision and percentage of change every 3-6 months...you must have spent a while finding this information for the public. Great update for real people to read.

Rents are skyrocketing out there... In Connecticut the rental market seems to be more active this year.

Hey Gal! Well your rental rates going up is a good sign, and your unemployment is lower than the national average. I know most people fly into Vegas rather than drive..so the gas prices may not affect you to much. I'd say you may be swinging back into a positive trend!
