Las Vegas Home Prices in July Up 6.7% Year-Over-Year, Condos Hit All-Time High
LAS VEGAS, NV – According to a new report released by a Las Vegas-based real estate industry group, the prices of homes in Southern Nevada increased in July – continuing their recent upward trajectory – whereas the cost of condominiums and townhomes reached an all-time record high.
Las Vegas Realtors notes that the median price of an existing single-family home in Las Vegas last month was $480,000, which represents a 1.05 percent increase over June, when that amount was $475,000. It’s also a 6.7 percent jump over July 2023’s median price of $450,000, with current prices slowly crawling to meet – and possibly exceed, eventually – the all-time record high of $482,000, which was reached in May 2022.
Meanwhile, the median price for condominiums and townhomes broke the local Las Vegas record, reaching a new all-time high of $296,000; the previous record, originally set in May of this year and subsequently carried over into June, was $295,000.
Las Vegas Realtors President Merri Perry said that the fact that the mortgage industry in the United States is still charging high interest rates on home loans appears not to have deterred sellers in Southern Nevada – and across the country – from continuing to raise their prices on homes.
It looks like prices for homes here in Southern Nevada will soon follow what’s already occurred with condos and townhomes, which have been at record levels since May,” Perry said. “One bright spot for home buyers in this month’s report is that we continue to see more homes hitting the market and available for sale.”
At the end of July, there were 4,634 single-family homes listed in Vegas without any offers, which is a 31.5 percent increase year-over-year. In addition, there were 1,481 condos and townhomes listed without an offer, a 70 percent jump from July 2023.
A combined total of 2,764 existing homes, condos, and townhomes were sold in Las Vegas by the end of July, an increase of 5 percent for homes and 1.5 percent for condos in townhomes year-over-year.
