“Over all, it’s shaping up to be a good Spring for our local housing market” Keith Lyman said, he is the GLVAR’s President for 2015. The Las Vegas area has less than a three month supply of homes to sell, a six month supply of home would be considered a balanced market.
Distressed home sales – Short Sales for April 2015 was 7.2 percent of all home sales that’s down from 8.3 percent from March and down 12.4 percent from April of last year. Bank owned homes was 8.3 percent of sales, down from 9.3 percent in March and down from 11.4 percent from last April.
GLVAR said that 30.4 percent of all home sales sold in April were cash sales which is down from 32.4 percent from last year, which suggest that there are less investors in the Las Vegas area housing market.
