Las Vegas Market Stats

By
Services for Real Estate Pros

Las Vegas just keeps on growing!  The media says that 6,000 people are moving to Las Vegas every month. BUT they make no mention of how many are leaving every month.  The media makes LV look totally overcrowded...we have a lot of people but not that many.

It is still possible to purchase a nice 1,600 square foot house for less than $300,000, sometimes for even less than $250,000 but those are getting a little harder to find.

Although sales have slowed down some there is MUCH to choose from if you're interesting in purchasing.  In doing the stats from the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors MLS (Multiple Listing Service) there are currently over 27,500 residential properties for sale (as of 7/28/07).  There are currently a total of 39,486 listings in Las Vegas (this includes land, commercial, etc.).

Although there are A LOT of active listings, we have to give some consideration to the amount of houses that have been built over the last few years...yes we have more listings than ever before but we also have seen immense growth through out Clark County.

These stats do not include For Sale By Owners or new homes.  The sales on these are since 1/1/2007

Mary, thanks for sharing. I am always interested in the real estate in other areas. Can't go by what the press reports.

Thanks Mary,

We actually think that it's been the best time to buy in Las Vegas since early 2003.  When was the last time you saw a pool home in Summerlin for under $300K?

Thanks Frank...the news media is always so doom and gloom, i hate to watch it!  Thanks for your comment.

Paul and Michelle...just for fun I just checked the MLS for a pool home in Summerlin for under $300K...there was ONE....it's a bank repo...listed at $272,900, 1250 square feet, 3/2 single story...interested?  Sounds like a smoking deal to me!
