Explore a Vintage Vegas Neighborhood: Beverly Green and Paradise Park
Two small vintage Las Vegas neighborhoods share this week’s spotlight! Beverly Green, originally developed in 1951 by David Zenoff and Jerome Mack, features an interesting mix of custom-designed homes and classic mid-century architecture. A portion of Beverly Green received historic district designation from the City of Las Vegas in 2016. Right next door is Paradise Park, another charming vintage neighborhood that is not part of the historic district. Together, these neighborhoods offer a wonderful glimpse into the residential history of early Las Vegas.

Historical Inventory Comparison
What We’re Seeing
November continues a pattern we’ve been watching in the Las Vegas housing market: prices remain relatively stable, inventory is higher, and buyers are taking more time to make decisions.
The $475,000 median single-family home price is up $5,000 since September and up 0.1% from October 2025, but down from the all-time high of $490,000 set in May and June.
For sellers, pricing and presentation become increasingly important when buyers have more homes competing for their attention.
For buyers, the additional inventory may create opportunities that were much harder to find during the extremely tight housing markets of recent years.

Market Insight
Inventory increased this week, we’re seeing movement across all price points. Inventory under $500,000 increased giving the buyers of lower priced Mid-Century homes a better selection. Buyers shopping above $700,000 have seen an increase in available inventory during 2026 with more sales on the higher end.
The sales pace so far this year has been similar to 2025, which posted the lowest annual sales total since 2007. Sales have seen peaks and valleys in recent years, generally declining since 2021, when LVR reported a record 50,010 total properties were sold.
📈 Mortgage Rate Update
According to Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey:
| Loan Type | Current Week | Last Week | One Year Ago |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30-Year Fixed | 7.11% | 7.18% | 6.24% |
| 15-Year Fixed | 6.45% | 6.57% | 5.49% |
Mortgage Rate Perspective
Mortgage applications increased by 6.2 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis for the week ending November 6, 2026, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association Weekly Survey..
Purchase Index: : The seasonally adjusted purchase index rose 8% from the previous week (with Bloomberg reporting a 7.5% jump in home-purchase applications).
Refinance Index: : Increased 5% from the previous week (or 4.5% per Bloomberg).
Market Composite Index: : Increased 6.2% on a seasonally adjusted basis compared to the previous week (and up 4% on an unadjusted basis).
🔍 What This Means for Buyers
With inventory is continuing to build throughout 2026, buyers are seeing more opportunities and less competition than they experienced during the ultra-low inventory years. The housing market continues to benefit from more available inventory, providing prospective homebuyers with additional options and helping support buyer activity as mortgage rates fluctuate.
🔑 What This Means for Sellers
Inventory levels slightly ahead of last year, meaning sellers should continue to focus on proper pricing and presentation. Buyers have options, and homes that are priced aggressively and show well are generally attracting the strongest interest.
Beyond the Market: Southern Nevada’s Water Savings Account
Water is part of every conversation about the future of Las Vegas, and understanding how our supply is managed matters to those of us who call this valley home.
An informative article by Piper Heath in The Nevada Independent examines Southern Nevada’s practice of “banking” water in Lake Mead. For roughly two decades, we have set aside some of our Colorado River allocation, building credits for future use while helping keep more water in the reservoir. But that savings account comes with withdrawal rules: most of those banked credits cannot be used if Lake Mead falls below 1,000 feet in elevation.
That threshold concerns access to banked water—not an automatic shutoff of Las Vegas’s water supply. Still, it illustrates why conservation, careful planning and agreements among the states sharing the Colorado River remain essential. Banking water has helped Southern Nevada prepare, but it cannot resolve every challenge facing the river.
We recommend this thoughtful explanation of what our water savings accomplish, where the limits lie and why the rules matter to our community’s future.
Looking Ahead
We’ll continue monitoring inventory trends, mortgage rates, and other key housing market indicators each Thursday in our weekly Very Vintage Vegas Market Watch report.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Las Vegas housing inventory increasing?
Yes. Las Vegas single-family home inventory has increased from 4,748 homes at the beginning of 2026 to 6,122 homes this week, an increase of approximately +28.34%.
Is it a buyer’s market or seller’s market in Las Vegas?
Las Vegas remains a competitive market, but inventory has just been moving slightly each week. No big movements in the last month. Inventory is higher than 2023 and 2024. Market conditions can vary slightly by neighborhood and price range.
Are home prices falling in Las Vegas?
Inventory levels are only one factor affecting home prices. While rising inventory can reduce upward pressure on prices, local demand, employment trends, mortgage rates, and neighborhood-specific conditions also play important roles. The median price for single-family homes in Southern Nevada increased to $475,000 in October, up 0.1% from October 2025, but down from the all-time high of $490,000 set in May and June.
Are there more homes available under $500,000?
Inventory below $500,000 is increasing more compared to mid price segments. Buyers shopping in this range often face more competition than those purchasing homes above $500,000.
Will the Federal Reserve lower mortgage rates?
The Federal Reserve does not directly set mortgage rates. Instead, mortgage rates are primarily influenced by the bond market and investor expectations regarding inflation and economic growth.
Treasury yields continued to rise sharply across the curve on Tuesday, sending the yield on the benchmark 10-year note above the closely watched 5%
The Federal Reserve has been hinting at another rate increase this year.
Homebuyers should focus on today’s affordability, inventory levels, and long-term financial goals rather than attempting to predict future rate movements.
Should I refinance now?
The answer depends on your current mortgage rate, loan balance, and financial objectives.
Refinancing may make sense if:
- You can significantly reduce your interest rate.
- You want to lower your monthly payment.
- You want to shorten your loan term.
- You want to convert from an adjustable-rate loan to a fixed-rate loan.
Because every situation is unique, homeowners should compare potential savings against refinancing costs and consult with a qualified mortgage professional.
How much home can I afford at today’s rate?
Affordability depends on several factors, including:
- Household income
- Down payment amount
- Existing debt obligations
- Credit score
- Property taxes and insurance
At this week’s average 30-year fixed mortgage rate of 7.11%, monthly payments will vary significantly depending on loan amount and borrower qualifications.
A mortgage lender can provide a personalized pre-approval that accurately reflects your purchasing power.
