The Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors reported Southern Nevada home prices hovering this summer, GLVAR housing statistics for August 2018

After climbing steadily since 2012, local home prices have been hovering this summer, with a report released today by the Greater Las Vegas Association of REALTORS® (GLVAR) showing prices back to where they were in May.

Meanwhile, Bishop said the housing supply increased in August, which he called good news for potential buyers. However, he said Southern Nevada still has less than a two-month supply of existing homes available for sale when a six-month supply would be a balanced market. By the end of August, GLVAR reported 5,818 single-family homes listed for sale without any sort of offer. That’s up from July and up 12.8 percent from one year ago. For condos and townhomes, the 1,184 properties listed without offers in August represented a 73.4 percent increase from one year ago.

The number of so-called distressed sales continues to drop. GLVAR reported that short sales and foreclosures combined accounted for just 2.5 percent of all existing local home sales in August, down from 6.1 percent of all sales one year ago.
