Why Las Vegas Is The Right Market
It should be no surprise to hear that Las Vegas is an excellent housing market to invest in. Investors are receiving top-dollar rents. Nevada boasts over 3 million people and continues to have one of the strongest growth rates in the country. Clark County is home to nearly 75% of Nevada’s 3+ million residents with almost half of those households choosing to rent.
The unique job opportunities, sunny weather, and abundant activities for all ages make the Las Vegas area an attractive place for many individuals and families to call home. Las Vegas is one of the top travel destinations. Being the Entertainment Capital of the World creates a lot of unique job opportunities. A large amount of families and individuals have flocked (and continue to flock) to the Las Vegas area seeking work. As they move to a new city, one of the first things they need is a place to call home – usually a rental home. Rental homes are in high demand in the Las Vegas area, resulting in increased monthly rent amounts that continue to edge-up.
Until recently, the Las Vegas area lacked in one area, professional sports. But now, it is home to the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights, the AHL’s Henderson Silver Knights, the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders, the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces, the MiLB’s Las Vegas Aviators, and the USLC’s Las Vegas Lights FC. Additionally, the Oakland A’s are coming to Vegas. While their move is official and approved by Major League Baseball, they won’t be in town until the 2028 season. As you can see, the continued growth of professional and semi-professional sports is another factor to thank for the influx of new residents.
Investing in real estate markets is not created equal. One advantage of investing in the Las Vegas market is the lower-than-average property taxes. A lot of hot real estate markets are located in areas with high property taxes. Nevada boasts one of the lowest property tax rates in the country, helping keep your monthly costs down. Additionally, on average, homes in Nevada are much newer than other states.
Typically, newer homes require less maintenance overall. Lower property taxes and less maintenance are just two advantages of purchasing an investment property in the Las Vegas area. Lower costs equate to a better return on investment.
