LAS VEGAS, NV – As per a new report released by online real estate brokerage Realtor.com, sales of homes in the Las Vegas Valley are expected to decrease in the coming new year, continuing a trend that has persisted throughout much of 2025.
Realtor.com’s report predicts that the sales of single-family homes in Southern Nevada in 2026 could drop by as much as 2.5 percent year-over-year, and that asking prices of these homes will essentially remain flat in the region throughout the year at just 0.6 percent.
In contrast, prices of homes are anticipated to increase 2.2 percent nationally in 2026, with sales expected to jump 1.7 percent; this means that Las Vegas will likely be below the national average in these metrics if the data in Realtor.com’s report holds up.
While forecasts suggest the U.S. housing market will strengthen in the coming year, Realtor.com senior economic research analyst Hannah Jones notes that Las Vegas is poised to fall behind other markets because of a combination of contributing factors.
Out of the top 100 metros regarding home sale price growth for next year that puts Las Vegas in the low side of the middle,” she said. “So, Las Vegas should see fewer sales, on the lower side of the national average and a lot of that is driven by that price side where we expect home prices to remain relatively stable (in Las Vegas) which means that affordability will continue to be a challenge and who is able to afford to buy.”
Low housing costs over the years have led to a population explosion in the Las Vegas Valley, but recently those costs have increased amid ever-rising asking prices and pricey interest rates on home mortgages. Due to this, many families looking to buy homes in Southern Nevada are finding it harder and harder to do so, and as a result, overall sales in the region are dropping significantly.
