Even with the holiday season, the demand from buyers has been quite strong in Las Vegas and at the current rate, if no more homes went on the market, Las Vegas would have no more homes left in just 1 month. Less than half the availability of a year ago.
With 3,305 closings in December, Las Vegas closings were up 26% from December 2019. With only 3,240 homes for sale in Las Vegas, currently over 66% of houses on the market sell in less than 30 days. This strong market shows no immediate signs of slowing down despite the pandemic.
In fact, with so many forced to work from home Californians are finding they can sell a below average home for $600,000 in California and buy a $500,000 above average home in Las Vegas. At the same time, they eliminate paying state sales tax. Therefore, buyer demand from California is strong in Las Vegas.
Condominiums and townhouses are an excellent bargain in Las Vegas at a median sales price of $186,000. Some buyers are moving out of 1 bedroom apartments they were renting for $1200 per month and buying a 2 bedroom condo and pay only $1100 per month. (Even less if they rent out the second bedroom).
With Las Vegas condominiums having about 45 days of availability and 57% of those selling in under 30 days, the time is right to sell or buy real estate in Las Vegas.
