Las Vegas Real Estate Trends and Area Housing Market Report for July 2016
This year so far Southern Nevada’s housing market, housing supply remains tight and prices continue to rise.
“The local housing market is having a pretty solid summer so far,” said 2016 GLVAR President Scott Beaudry, a longtime local REALTOR®. “Home prices have been going up gradually. And although we sold fewer homes and condos in July than we did during the previous month and year, sales have been running ahead of last year’s pace. Our tight inventory might finally be slowing down our sales pace. Sales slipped the most during July for lower-priced homes. This suggests it’s getting harder for entry-level buyers to find the homes they want.”
