Real Estate Agent with Simply Vegas
Las Vegas Real Estate is heating up and its only March. This time last year we had less than 3400 single-family homes sold according to the local MLS. This year we seen an 18% gain in sold single-family inventory compared to last year at this time.
 
Prices on Las Vegas Real Estate has single family homes has drop another 5.5% compared to this time last year which is right in line with our predictions form 2011. The median price of a Las Vegas home is now $121,000.
 
Condos and town homes also depreciated 5% compared to the same time last year. Cash is still king around these parts with over 50% of homes sold in southern Nevada this February, which is consistent with what we have seen over the last 2 years. Another interesting fact is that almost 30% of Single family residential real estate sold in Las Vegas was a short sale, this is also a trend we recognized last year and reported on.
