We have seen the Las Vegas, NV high rise real estate market as a challenged market with an abundance of resale inventory.  For several reasons:

• Too many speculators in that market.  They want to close n flip.  They are not interested in holding, renting or living in them.  Each time a building closes, we see an increase of inventory.
• Mortgage market madness has reduced the amount of loan products available to jumbo, second, vacation or investor type property owners. The ones who have very little money down and marginal credit, that is.  So the buyer pool for both resales and new went kaput.  Loud and hard too.

Here are the high rise stats:

Rentals:

• 318 Listed 11/14/2008
• 11 Under Contract 11/14/2008
• 43 Leased 9/29-10/29/2008
• 7.4 Months Inventory

Resales:

• 884 Listed 11/14/2008
• 25 Under Contract 11/14/2008
• 31 Closed 9/29-10/29/2008
• 38.4 Months Inventory (=3.2 years)
  

Rental inventory has increase from the last report.  Resale inventory absorption rate has gone up by 1 year in one month.  THis is how volatile this market is.    Read last month's report here.
