Brian Gordon, Principal with SalesTraq, commented on the annual results, “Housing market conditions in Southern Nevada experienced increased stability during 2019, which is a welcome sign following the explosive growth of the mid- to late2010s. Overall price appreciation returned to more sustainable levels and sales volumes remained relatively healthy. While
pricing trends throughout the Las Vegas valley varied based on the supply-demand dynamics in any particular neighborhood, the broader trends are clear. The rate at which home prices are rising is more reflective of household income growth, and that is something residents should appreciate. While current rates of gain in home equity may not be generating tremendous new wealth for homeowners, it does mean that potential home buyers are not being priced out of the market as quickly as they once were. It will be important to monitor these conditions going forward, but from an analyst perspective, stability should be embraced as the market adjusts to something that looks like normal.”
