Get caught up on what's new and happening in the Las Vegas real estate market this June. 

Cash Home Sales on the Rise

It seems that cash speaks the loudest when it comes to buying Las Vegas Real estate this year. In May 2021, 31% of sold homes were purchased with cash, an increase of 15% from May 2020. Cash offers are often preferred by sellers over a buyer using financing. Sadly, this practice is putting a strain on new and middle-class home buyers who may have pre-approved loans and are ready to purchase. A good percentage of the cash buyers are coming from out of state, especially California.

Las Vegas Homes & Condos Flying Off the Shelves

Spring has sprung for these happy clients of Las Vegas Homes by Leslie who have just purchased or sold their homes, in record time. Now they can sit back, relax and enjoy their new homes in the summer months.

These houses were only on the market from 1 - 34 days, selling in record time, and in some cases over the asking price. The market is hot, low on sellers and high on buyers - if you have a Las Vegas home or condo you've been considering selling, now is the time.

As of March 2021, the Las Vegas real estate market is probably one of the strongest seller's markets we've had in years. Home sales and average prices are setting record highs. At the same time, interest rates are hitting record lows which is fueling the market with buyers. Inventory availability is sitting at less than 6 months, as a result, we're seeing more multiple bid offers than ever. 

Here is a summary of the real estate stats for the Las Vegas Market as of March 2021, and see Tips for Buyers in this Strong Seller's Market below.

Single-Family Sales Spotlight- March 2021

Single-Family home sales were up 35.1% from March 2020, and 34.7% from February 2021

Average Price: $454,954 up 22.3%

New Listings: 3,566, down -1.1% from 2020

Has anyone noticed, the housing market in Las Vegas is a bit crazy right now. Homes are selling at a ridiculous rate. We’re seeing multiple bidding like we haven’t seen in years. Inventory is extremely low, so there may be limited choice, especially in the lower price ranges.

On top of that, interest rates are at an all time low, which means owning Las Vegas real estate may be more accessible. As a result, many who have been sitting on the fence and merely dreaming of that new home or condo, are now taking the plunge.

Competition is also fierce. In addition to more first-time buyers, we’re seeing more out-of-state buyers than I can remember.

Las Vegas Homes under $300k are not remaining on the market for any substantial length of time, and

2020 was a tumultuous year for real estate in Las Vegas as we hopped on the Covid roller coaster and hung on for our lives. There were sharp declines in March of 2020, but thankfully by late summer the market started to recover, and the year ended on a high note. Interest rates were too favorable to ignore and home and condo prices continued to increase. Eventually, buyers loosened their grip and re-entered the market. Hopefully, these signs of recovery will carry us well into the new year.
