Josh's Las Vegas Market Recap for April

[Josh Edelman]

Happy Saturday, here are some updates from the month of April!

Real Estate Update:

Here's the latest real estate market report for April 2023 (single family homes):

• Median Sales Price: $438,950 (March: $430,000)
• New Listings: 1,595 (March: 1,768)
• Days on Market Until Sale: 24 (March: 29)
• Months Supply of Inventory: 2.1 (March: 2.4)

What does "Months Supply of Inventory" mean?

It represents the number of months it would take to sell all homes currently on the market at the current pace of sales. A balanced market is typically around 6 months of inventory, so a lower number represents a seller's market with limited inventory.

Las Vegas ranks 9th in "10 Cities Where Home Prices Have Skyrocketed the Most Over the Past 10 Years," with Atlanta (8), Phoenix (4), Boise (2), and Detroit (from $53,800 to $245,700, a 357% increase) completing the top 10 list.
