Homeownership Promising in Nevada Despite High Prices
The Las Vegas Valley recently broke records for home sale prices last January 2025, when a home was sold for $485k. Yet experts in Southern Nevada are more optimistic than ever about the housing market. What does it mean and why should you be excited as a homebuyer?
Let’s find out together, shall we?
High Prices = High Demand
According to a well-known realtor in the Las Vegas area, the higher median price for houses supports the high demand for houses in Southern Nevada. More people are looking for houses, leading to more competition and higher bids from buyers to secure the property. This translates to an energized housing market in Nevada, a landscape known for amazing natural landscapes and a passion for sports.
Increased Southern Nevada Home Listing and Sales
While the country was experiencing a housing shortage in the past years, conditions seem to be changing in favor of homebuyers.
To back up this claim, home sales went up in January 2025 compared to the previous year. Among the nearly 2,000 residential properties sold during the month, home sales went up by 6.7 percent. Additionally, home listings drastically rose by 46.9 percent by the end of the month, with a total of 5,215 listings in the area.
Lower Mortgage Prices Continue
Another important factor to point out is the gradually decreasing mortgage rates in the market.
As of early February 2025, mortgage rates for a 30-year fixed-rate property were at an average of 6.89%. This ranks as the lowest in 2025 so far, showing an ongoing trend of decreasing mortgage rates since October 2023, when interest rates went as high as 7.62%.
Additionally, many industry experts in Nevada are seeing the housing climate turning into a buyer’s market. The combination of more properties becoming available and dropping rates makes homebuying more enticing for potential buyers.
