Housing Market Update January 2021

Welcome to a new year! Housing in the Las Vegas Valley is still going strong! January 2021 Housing Data and Stats will be listed below, but first here is what is going on in our market:
- Demand is still strong from out of state buyers. These buyers can afford to spend more than the average person that is already living in Las Vegas.
- Inventory continues to remain low. The average single family home inventory is less than a 1 month supply.
- New home construction continues to set record sales and usually most new homes will take 6-8 months to build from dirt.
- Anything under $400,000.00 will continue to see huge demands from buyers. Competition is high so think about that when writing up an offer.
- Acting sooner rather than later is usually a good idea. Not that I want to pressure you into buying, but we have to act quickly so that your competition remains low.
Inventory will not change…
With less than a 30 day home supply, low interest rates and increased rents will be driving the buying frenzy we contiune to see. Foreclosures and Short Sales continue to be a topic of discussion but since most people that bought a home in the past few years have equity in them, this may not be a short term problem but a long term problem that may hit our market in 2022 or 2023. Evictions are now starting in Nevada so will that free up homes for investors to sell? Will our inventory increase because of investors not wanting to rent to people anymore? These questions and more will be on everyone’s mind this year.
