Las Vegas Nevada July 2024 Housing Statistics
LAS VEGAS – A report released Tuesday by Las Vegas REALTORS® (LVR) shows local home prices inching closer to record territory, with more homes available for sale.
LVR reported that the median price of existing single-family homes sold in Southern Nevada through its Multiple Listing Service (MLS) during July was $480,000. That’s up 6.7% from $450,000 in July of 2023. Local home prices are approaching the record of $482,000 set in May of 2022.
The median price of local condos and townhomes sold in July was $296,000, up 8.2% from $273,500 in July 2023. That tops the all-time high of $295,000 set in May and tied in June.
LVR President Merri Perry, a longtime local REALTOR®, said local housing prices have been increasing locally and nationally, despite elevated mortgage interest rates this year.
“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.”
By the end of July, LVR reported 4,634 single-family homes listed for sale without any sort of offer. That’s up 31.5% from one year earlier. Meanwhile, the 1,481 condos and townhomes listed without offers in July represent a 70.0% increase from one year earlier.
LVR reported a total of 2,764 existing local homes, condos, and townhomes sold in July. Compared to July 2023, sales were up 5.1% for homes and up 1.5% for condos and townhomes. The sales pace in July equates to just over a two-month housing supply. Last year at this time, it was less than a two-month supply of properties available for sale. For most of 2024, home sales have rebounded from 2023, which was the slowest year for existing local home sales since 2008. LVR reported a total of 29,069 sales of existing local homes, condos, and townhomes in 2023. That was down from 35,584 total sales in 2022. That followed a record year for existing local home sales in 2021 when LVR reported 50,010 total properties were sold.
During July, LVR found that 25.1% of all local property sales were cash transactions. That’s the same percentage as one year ago, but well below the July 2013 cash buyer peak of 59.5%.
These LVR statistics include activity through the end of July 2024. LVR distributes statistics each month based on data collected through its MLS, which does not account for all newly constructed homes sold by local builders or homes for sale by owners. Other highlights include:
• The total value of local real estate transactions tracked through the MLS during July was more than $1.3 billion for homes and more than $192 million for condos, high-rise condos, and townhomes. Compared to one year earlier, total sales values in July were up 14.3% for homes and up 5.9% for condos and townhomes.
• In July, 86.5% of all existing local homes and 81.8% of all existing local condos and townhomes sold within 60 days. That compares to one year earlier when 83.2% of all homes and 85.6% of all condos and townhomes sold within 60 days.
