Home prices cooling as latest Las Vegas real estate numbers released
New this morning, home prices in Las Vegas are starting to cool even as more houses hit the market. A new report from Las Vegas Realtors shows the median price for a single-family home in September was $470,000, down 2% from last year, and below the record high of $485,000.
Condos and townhomes also dipped down, nearly 2% from a year ago to the median price of $294,000.
Inventory, however, is surging, with around 7,500 homes and 2,600 condos now listed without offers, both up sharply from last year.
