Shifting into a Balanced Summer Market
By Stacy Sheeley Reyes | The Stacy Sheeley Team
As we roll into summer, the Las Vegas and Henderson real estate markets are beginning to show signs of seasonal balance. While buyer activity remains steady, sellers are adjusting expectations—and strategic pricing and presentation are becoming more important than ever.
Inventory & Buyer Activity
June brought a slight increase in active listings across the valley, giving buyers more options and softening the sense of urgency we’ve seen in recent months. However, homes that are well-staged, move-in ready, and priced appropriately are still generating strong interest and multiple offers—especially in desirable neighborhoods like Summerlin, Henderson, and 55+ communities.
Pricing Trends
Overall, prices have held steady month-over-month, with minor dips in some submarkets. We’re continuing to see price reductions on homes that have been sitting for over 30 days—presenting opportunities for buyers to negotiate or take advantage of seller incentives like rate buy-downs or closing cost contributions.
New Construction Incentives
Builders are still offering generous incentives, including mortgage rate buy-downs, upgrades, and flexible closing timelines. This is great news for buyers considering brand-new homes, particularly in expanding areas like Summerlin West, Inspirada, and Cadence.
My Take
The summer market is shaping up to be more balanced than we’ve seen in recent years. For sellers, that means presentation, pricing, and marketing are everything. For buyers, this is a window to make thoughtful decisions with more inventory to choose from and less pressure to waive contingencies.
If you’re thinking of buying, selling, or just want to know what your home is worth, I’d love to help you make informed decisions.
