Resale closings are up 6.2% year to year. 35,359 resale homes were sold from January through September. The median closing price is $205,888. Last September (2015) the median closing price was $193,123. That is a modest 6% increase which is quite “normal”. However, the market share of condo closings has not proven this theory to be true. In January 2016, the share of condo resales was 17.2 percent. In June it was 14.9 percent, and in September there were 631 closings, which was a share of 16 percent.

LAS VEGAS INVENTORY
The inventory of available listings is down from the average of 14,272 to 9,947. According to Residential Resources, our inventory remains tight with a 3 month supply of available resale listings. It’s been at 3 – 3.1 months during 2016. The supply of existing homes doesn’t appear like it will change much. The larger investors are no longer buying homes in Las Vegas. The smaller investors are still buying distressed homes as they come on the market. Rents are rising slowly and that trend will continue. The larger investors who bought homes during “The Great Recession” are not selling. The rental market continues to be healthy. Property Managers are seeing a larger percentage of renters moving here from out of state. Why? Jobs & Retirement!
