Market Questions We're Hearing
Is now a good time to buy in Las Vegas?
Yes. With more inventory, returning negotiating power, and stable interest rates, buyers have more options than they've had in years. Well-priced homes are still moving quickly, but you won't face the bidding wars of 2021-2022.
Should I wait for prices to drop?
Las Vegas prices have historically been resilient. Current appreciation of 4.2% YoY, strong job growth, and continued California migration suggest prices will remain stable or continue gradual increases. Waiting typically costs more than potential savings.
Is this a buyer's or seller's market?
With 2.1 months of inventory, Las Vegas is technically still a seller's market (6 months is balanced). However, buyers have more leverage than they've had since 2019. It's a balanced environment that rewards proper pricing.
What's happening with interest rates?
Rates have stabilized around 6.5% for conventional loans. Many buyers are using builder incentives or rate buydowns to achieve effective rates in the low 5% range. VA and FHA options remain competitive.
