Vegas Home Sales Increase Year-Over-Year in 2024; Remain Below 2021’s Record High
LAS VEGAS, NV – After 2023 proved to be the worst year in Las Vegas since 2008 as far as homes sales went, 2024 proved to be a marked improvement year-over-year, with a significantly higher number of residential real estate sales taking place. And with experts anticipating that home prices may be starting to lower in the coming months, 2025 is looking to have the very real potential to eclipse last year in terms of sales growth.
According to new statistics released by industry group Las Vegas Realtors (LVR) pulled from data by the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system, during 2024 a total of 31,305 existing homes, condominiums and townhomes were sold in Southern Nevada, which represents an eight percent jump from 2023, when that combined residential total came to 29,069.
While an improvement, 2024 nonetheless falls short of the 50,010 properties that exchanged hands in 2021, which was the region’s all-time record year for sales; it also failed to meet the lower total achieved the following year in 2022, when 35,584 properties were sold.
LVR’s new President, George Kypreos – who assumed the position last week after Past President Merri Perry and 2025 President-Elect Joshua Campa both suddenly resigned from their posts without warning – said that he expects 2025 will see a continuation of Las Vegas’ upward trajectory when it comes to home sales.
December is traditionally one of the slowest months of the year for the housing market, and these statistics reflect that,” Kypreos said. “All things considered, I think this month’s LVR statistics paint a picture of a fairly stable and relatively healthy housing market heading into 2025.”
In December, the median price of an existing single-family house sold in Vegas was $475,000, which represents a decrease from the prior month’s near-record tying amount of 475,531; however, December 2024’s median price is nonetheless 5.6 percent higher than December 2023, when that amount was $449,900. The all-time record for Southern Nevada remains $482,000, originally set in May 2022.
