A Surprising Las Vegas
Real Estate Development

The Big Reason Why Real Estate in Las Vegas Holds Its Value

To the surprise of many, prices of Las Vegas real estate, warts and all, isn't in a death spiral. In fact property values are holding up quite well compared to the double digit declines seen in the price of homes for sale in other parts of the country.


But let's face it, the real estate market in greater Las Vegas area has been better than good for going on 20 years now. And has been spectacular the past couple of years. With appreciation rates home owners in Buffalo can only dream of. So the party has to come to an end at some point right?

Or maybe it's out of jealousy, that prognosticators are predicting the death of the Las Vegas real estate market.

Perhaps. But in any given housing market, the price of real estate is driven by in-migration - which is driven in large part by the health of the local economy. And the gaming industry ain't going anywhere any time soon. If anything it's going stronger than ever before.

Besides, as baby boomers retire, shoveling snow loses it's appeal. Leaving them looking for warmer places to spend their golden years. With Las Vegas being but one of the cities in the Sun Belt to benefit.

While Californians move here because real estate is relatively cheap compared to what they're used to. Add to that a business friendly climate and you can see why this city is a people magnet attracting those from the West Coast.

Then visitors attracted by the casinos, if given half a chance to see what lies beyond the Strip, find this to be an attractive, vibrant city. With lots to do. And end up moving here too.

Plus you can't ignore the appeal of year round golf.

Tip: The numbers to watch are these. Compared
to a year ago, how many houses are for sale and
how long is each on the market before it sells?
That's an easy way to gauge what's going on with
Las Vegas real estate for sale.

So while the Las Vegas real estate market may not be as robust as it was a year ago, there are still plenty of people with cash looking to invest in a place to call home. Which is the big reason housing prices probably won’t take a nose dive any time soon.
