Is Now the Right Time to Buy in Las Vegas?

Buyer Video Claire Hopkins, Real Broker | Las Vegas, NV May 8, 2025

Most people think you need to wait for the perfect time to buy a home.

Maybe it's when interest rates fall.
Or when prices drop.
Or when some magical “buyer’s window” appears.

But what if the market right now—yes, even with higher interest rates—is actually one of the best times we’ve seen in years for buyers in Las Vegas?

Let’s break it down.


Welcome to a True Buyer’s Market

Right now in 2025, Las Vegas is offering something we haven’t seen in a while: real negotiating power for buyers.

The median home price is hovering around $485,000, up 5.4% year over year.
But that’s not the whole story.
Inventory has surged—over 5,000 single-family homes are sitting on the market with no offers.

Therefore, buyers like you have more choices, less competition, and more leverage than you’ve had in years.


Buyers Finally Have the Upper Hand

In this kind of market, the power has shifted.

Sellers are listening.
They're offering:

  • Price reductions

  • Repair credits

  • Help with closing costs

But in a hot market, you’d be competing with 10 other offers for the same home.
Therefore, now is your chance to shop smarter and negotiate on your terms—not theirs.


What About Interest Rates?

Yes, rates are higher than they were a couple of years ago.
That’s a fact.
But they’ve stabilized, and construction costs are climbing again—thanks to rising tariffs and supply chain strain.

Therefore, home prices could continue to rise in the coming months.
Buy now, and you lock in today's price.
Refinance later when rates drop—without having overpaid.


The Long Game: Equity, Options, and Peace of Mind

The beauty of buying in a slower market?

You can breathe.

You get time to make thoughtful decisions, tour more homes, and negotiate the right deal for your future—not just what’s available right now.

But once inventory tightens again and demand rebounds (and it always does), prices will climb and buyer competition will return fast.
Therefore, this window of opportunity may close quicker than you think.


Final Thought: You Don’t Need Perfect Conditions. You Need the Right Strategy.

Timing the market is nearly impossible.
But buying smart in a buyer’s market? That’s where real opportunities live.
Therefore, if you're thinking about homeownership in Las Vegas, this moment could work in your favor more than you realize.
