LAS VEGAS, NV – Marble Manor, a western Las Vegas public housing complex that originally opened in the 1950s, is in the process of being demolished and redeveloped into townhomes and apartment buildings.

When it originally opened, the 235-unit Marble Manor, located along Washington Avenue just east of Martin Luther King Boulevard, was made up of “modern” single-story concrete block homes and duplexes with a theme of “comfort and clean living,” aimed at low-income families and individuals who had been living in less-than-desirable circumstances.

However, the homes that were actually built often failed to live up to that standard, and in recent years, the complex had fallen into a state of serious disrepair, with several recent code-enforcement cases opened against it for “unsafe building conditions.”

Marble Manor also had a less-than-reputable status due to it representing a darker side of Las Vegas: segregation. Once known as the “Mississippi of the West,” Black residents for many years were essentially confined to the western part of the city.

To address those injustices, the redevelopment of Marble Manor – slated to cost between an estimated $350 million to $400 million – is currently underway, according to Frank Stafford, director of development and modernization for the city’s housing authority.

The plans call for the transformation of the 35.7-acre Marble Manor property into 627 newly-built units, made up of townhomes and apartment buildings, as well as low-income and market-rate units. There will also be numerous amenities for residents, such as a community center, retail space, parks and other features.

The first units are set to begin development in March of this year by contractor Metcalf Builders. The redevelopment is planned to take place over the course of five phases, and is scheduled to be completed by 2030.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Miraluna, an apartment complex located in South Las Vegas that is currently being developed by a joint venture of The NRP Group and Rockefeller Group, announced that pre-leasing is currently underway for the 342-unit community prior to its anticipated early-2026 opening date.

Adjacent to the Southern Highlands Master-Planned Community, Miraluna – previously known as Silverado, before being re-named mid-development – is a Class A resort-inspired apartment complex that is slated to be open for its initial batch of move-ins this upcoming March.

And while Miraluna is another in a long line of Nevada-based projects on the part of the Rockefeller Group, the community represents The NRP Group’s first entry into the state’s competitive real estate market.

When completed, Silverado – designed by Perlman Architects – will take the form of 15 three-story buildings located on a 13-acre lot in Enterprise, located 10 miles from the Las Vegas Strip, Harry Reid International Airport and Allegiant Stadium.

The buildings will contain one, two, and three-bedroom units featuring contemporary finishes such as quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, upgraded cabinetry and LED backlit bathroom mirrors.

In addition, the complex will boast many amenities for its tenants with a focus on wellness, including a swimming pool, sports court, and a 7,000-square-foot clubhouse with a social lounge, gym, pickleball and bocce courts, dining and grilling areas, a sauna, yoga lawn, fire pit, dog park and coworking spaces, among other features.

From the architecture to the shared spaces, the community was designed to offer residents a lifestyle that feels both luxurious and welcoming,” said Rockefeller Group Director Matt Bruns. “Miraluna adds a new option for renters who want modern interiors, resort style amenities with all the latest wellness offerings and access to the best of Las Vegas.”

Construction of Miraluna began in December 2024, with initial move-ins commencing in March 2026; final completion of the project is slated for the first quarter of 2027.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Currently, over 80 percent of U.S. citizens report that the cost of housing is a serious problem, and this situation has persisted for several years now in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, casting concerns over the ability of many families to own a home in the modern economic climate.

However, a new report by tech real-estate marketplace company Zillow predicts that the housing market will return to affordability by the end of the year, an assertion that has surprised many in the industry.

Home buying is becoming more affordable in more cities, with Zillow forecasting that 20 of the 50 largest U.S. metros will be affordable to buy in by the end of 2026 – the most since 2022,” the Zillow report says.

The concept of home affordability, according to Congress.gov, is when a considerable percentage of a home’s combined income is spent on costs associated with owning a home.

Federal housing policies typically deem housing to be “affordable” if it costs no more than 30 percent of family income (adjusted for family size),” the Federal report says. “According to this metric, families that pay more are considered to be ‘cost burdened,’ and those that pay more than half of their incomes are considered ‘severely cost burdened.’”

However, Zillow senior economist Kara Ng prognosticates that slowing rates of home price increases, coupled with gradually-lowering home mortgage rates and households now earning more money on average than in previous years will most likely contribute to the overall housing market becoming affordable for families by the end of the year.

This is what a small-wins year looks like for housing,” she said. “Rising incomes, subdued price growth, and gradually easing mortgage rates would help buyers regain their footing while allowing homeowners to continue building wealth. These types of slow and steady affordability improvements are exactly what the housing market needs over the long-run.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – Nevada HAND, the state’s largest developer of affordable housing, has begun work on constructing a new rental complex in downtown Las Vegas aimed at low-income tenants, following the company’s demolition of a long-shuttered complex that had previously occupied the property.

Dubbed Ogden Pines, the $20 million project, upon completion, will take the form of a four-story, 51-unit building located at 1200 East Ogden Avenue, at the corner of Maryland Parkway. Previously, the property had been occupied by a 39-unit apartment complex that Nevada HAND had demolished to make way for this new development.

Work on Ogden Pines is slated to be completed in 2027 and, once open, the developer notes that it will offer a slew of amenities for its tenants, including energy-efficient appliances, a community room, a fitness room, and secured building access to ensure the safety of residents.

Nevada has long had an issue with a lack of affordable housing options for lower-income residents, with the problem especially prevalent in the Las Vegas region.

The Kenny Guinn Center for Policy Priorities reported in 2025 that approximately 50 percent of all renters in the state were “excessively cost-burdened” due to what was referred to as a “severe housing affordability crisis” brought on by both a lack of available low-cost options and stagnant local income growth.

Nevada HAND’s Vice President of Corporate Affairs, Waldon Swenson, noted recently that it was more efficient to demolish the old apartment complex standing where Ogden Pines is currently being developed than repairing the rundown building, as it allowed the company to start from scratch and include more modern technology in the units.

Currently Nevada HAND has 5,400 low-cost rental units throughout Southern Nevada, and Swenson said that his company almost never experiences vacancies due to what he called the “tremendous need” for affordable housing options in the region.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Zumper, a digital marketplace for renters and property managers, has released a new report that indicates that rents in the Las Vegas Valley decreased across all unit types by the end of 2025, according to the Las Vegas Review Journal.

For their just-released report covering December 2025, Zumper notes that one-bedroom rentals in practically every region of the valley experienced significant drops by the end of the year, with the biggest decrease taking place in Paradise, where rents lowered by 14.3 percent year-over-year.

The next largest decrease took place in Henderson with a 4 percent drop, followed by Spring Valley at 3.6 percent, North Las Vegas at 3 percent, Las Vegas at 1.7 percent, and Winchester at 08 percent.

Located north of Harry Reid International Airport and east of the Las Vegas Strip, Winchester also recorded December’s largest month-to-month rent drop with 5.8 percent when compared to November.

Crystal Chen, one of the authors of the Zumper report, said that Las Vegas was the only region in Nevada that saw a drop in rents, noting that, “Rates are down across the board in the Las Vegas metro area for the month of December.”

The average rent for a one-bedroom unit in the state in December was $1,277, whereas Paradise was the most expensive at $1,500, followed by Henderson at $1,430, Spring Valley at $1,350 and North Las Vegas at $1,349.

In contrast, the cheapest rent in the valley is the city of North Las Vegas, where renters were paying an average of $1,150 per month for a one-bedroom unit.

Experts are predicting that rents in the Las Vegas Valley will essentially remain flat throughout 2026 after they skyrocketed during COVID-19, reaching all-time record highs in 2022 before the market eventually stabilized and returned to pre-pandemic levels.

LAS VEGAS, NV – The luxury condominium market in Las Vegas has always been a hot commodity, and that reality remained firmly cemented in fact recently when a new sale broke the all-time record in terms of price earlier this month.

A condo located within the affluent guard-gated residential community The Summit Club in the high-end suburb of Summerlin was sold back on January 10 for a whopping $21 million, according to property records.

The penthouse condo – the only of its type within Summerlin – boasts approximately 5,000 square-feet of living space with five bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms. In addition, it offers a plethora of ultra-high-end amenities that you would normally find in lavish mansions, such as sliding glass walls that open up access to a huge outdoor terrace with breathtaking views of the surrounding Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.

The condo’s owners are also granted access to The Summit Club’s resort-style amenities, such as the Tom Fazio-designed golf course, a high-tech workout facility, community movie theater, spa, pool, salon, tennis and pickleball courts, and top-of-the-line dining options.

Perched atop the country club, this exclusive residence offers a resort-style lifestyle with exceptional amenities just footsteps away, including fine dining and a state-of-the-art fitness center,” the property’s listing said. “This is not just a home; it’s a lifestyle for those who seek the best. Once inside, you’ll be overwhelmed by the expansiveness of the vistas that envelop you, providing a sense of serenity and grandeur.”

The condo was originally constructed in 2022 on a 1.1-acre parcel of land by technology and gaming investor Richard Haddrill, but construction delays prevented him from moving in; he eventually purchased a nearby single-family home to live in instead, and initially listed the condo in March for $25 million.

After not getting any takers, Haddrill eventually took the property off the market, later re-listing it for $23.5 million before finally settling for a lower – yet still record-breaking – $21 million.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Las week, Donald Trump turned heads nationwide when he proposed a ban on corporate investors purchasing single-family homes in response to the current affordability crisis facing many families hoping for homeownership in recent years.

For a very long time, buying and owning a home was considered the pinnacle of the American Dream,” Trump said last week in a post on his Truth Social platform. “It was the reward for working hard, and doing the right thing, but now, because of the Record High Inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrats in Congress, that American Dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially younger Americans.”

It is for that reason, and much more, that I am immediately taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes, and I will be calling on Congress to codify it,” the post continued. “People live in homes, not corporations. I will discuss this topic, including further Housing and Affordability proposals, and more, at my speech in Davos in two weeks.”

And while such activity has impacted the residential real estate market to wildly varying degrees across the country – entities owning 100 or more properties account for just one percent of overall single-family housing stock nationally; it has been felt to a much more disproportionate degree in areas such as Southern Nevada.

Following the end of the mid-2000’s recession, nearly 500,000 homes have been purchased in the Las Vegas Valley by investors, with a recent study conducted by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) noting that this group – made up of mainly of Wall Street-backed companies – could own as much as 15 percent of all homes in the valley; that number increases to up to 25 percent in North Las Vegas, the report says.

Nevada real estate agents, experts, and lawmakers have reacted to Trump’s calls for an investor ban, saying that it would represent a potential “paradigm shift” if it were to take place.

It is past time that we ban large institutional investors from buying up our housing stock and driving up prices for families,” U.S. Rep. Dina Titus (D-Nevada) said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I have been pushing for this at the federal level for years and recently testified before the Nevada State Legislature about my work on this issue. Let’s get this done.”

I’ve been sounding the alarm for months as Wall Street drives up housing costs for Nevada families. If the President is serious about addressing this crisis, the solution is already on the table,” said U.S. Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nevada) on X.

It’s about time someone tried to do something,” said Las Vegas-area real estate agent Steve Hawks. “Hopefully now this puts more of a spotlight onto what’s going on, and Vegas has been hit the hardest by these hedge funds and corporate landlords.”

Director of UNLV’s Lied Center for Real Estate, Shawn McCoy, said that more research is needed in order to access how much impact corporate investment is affecting the affordability concerns currently plaguing the overall national housing market; however, he confirmed that Southern Nevada is indeed one of the hardest-hit in that regard in the entire country.

It remains difficult to distinguish between the small local investors from larger corporate buyers. As a result, housing researchers do not have a complete picture of the true extent of large-scale corporate ownership. And that distinction is critical when evaluating policy to restrict certain portions of investor purchases,” he said. “Las Vegas is a standout, investor activity in Las Vegas exceeds the national average and our report ranked Las Vegas amongst the top three metros in the country.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – In response to ongoing home affordability issues in the United States fueled by large, Wall Street-backed investors snapping up houses in large numbers across the nation to use as rentals, President Donald Trump announced that his administration will attempt to ban such activity going forward.

On Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social, the Republican president outlined his plan to work with Congress on preventing corporate investors from further entrenching themselves into the residential real estate market – while also taking shots at his predecessor, Joe Biden, and the Democratic Party – and said that he would further speak on the matter at the Davos World Economic Forum in Switzerland later this month.

For a very long time, buying and owning a home was considered the pinnacle of the American Dream,” Trump said in his Truth Social post. “It was the reward for working hard, and doing the right thing, but now, because of the Record High Inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrats in Congress, that American Dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially younger Americans.”

Trump called upon the assistance on Congress in making the corporate ban into law in order to help make housing more affordable for Americans, and noted that he would be revealing further housing proposals at the upcoming World Economic Forum.

It is for that reason, and much more, that I am immediately taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes, and I will be calling on Congress to codify it,” he said. “People live in homes, not corporations. I will discuss this topic, including further Housing and Affordability proposals, and more, at my speech in Davos in two weeks.”

Prices of homes jumped to record-highs during COVID-19; since the end of the pandemic, costs have lowered but nonetheless remain above the norm – as have mortgage rates – with the median sale price of a single-family home in 2025 coming in at $410,800.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Following a period of time that saw record-breaking, breakneck sales become the norm for the region, things cooled considerably for Las Vegas’ residential real estate market in 2025, with a significant drop in properties changing hands when compared to 2024.

According to trade association Las Vegas Realtors (LVR) – as per data pulled from the Multiple Listing Service – in 2025, about 28,498 existing single-family homes changed hands in Las Vegas, which represents an approximate 9 percent decrease year-over-year; in contrast, in 2024 the number of homes that were sold came in at 31,305.

2025’s home sales number was the lowest since 2007, which was right before the Great Recession hit the United States.

Meanwhile, LVR reports that home prices in Vegas for the final month of 2025 decreased as well, with December seeing a 3.9 percent drop to $470,000 from November’s all-time record high of $488,995. There were 6,396 single-family homes listed for sale without any sort of offer at the end of December, as per LVR, which represents a 28.8 percent increase year-over-year.

However, despite the dip in sales volume overall, LVR President George Kypreos said that all the signs are pointing to the housing market in Southern Nevada making a big comeback as the days and months go by, with the region often experiencing a declining series of “peaks and valleys” in terms of sales since 2021, indicating that stability is returning.

Although it was a relatively slow year for home sales, we’re seeing some encouraging signs heading into the new year,” Kypreos said. “Buyer activity locally and nationally is starting to improve. Home prices have been fairly stable, and mortgage interest rates ended the year lower than they were the previous year. Most trends are pointing to a more balanced housing market in 2026.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – Chicago-based developer CEDARst Cos. has officially broken ground on a new $82 million multifamily community located in the Las Vegas Medical District, the first residential facility of its kind to be built in that area of the city.

LAS VEGAS, NV – After a federal judge issued an injunction that prevents Clark County from enforcing a number of its enforcement efforts against unlicensed short-term rentals, homeowners within the municipality galvanized by the win are now gearing up for the next phase of legal challenges.

Earlier in December, U.S. District Court Judge Miranda Du issued a ruling after listening to both sides of a dispute between Clark County and the Greater Las Vegas Short-Term Rental Association (GLVSTRA).

The county is being sued by GLVSTRA – representing over 800 homeowners – as well multiple other plaintiffs – including Airbnb – claiming that property owners’ Constitutional rights have been violated after being forced to wait years for rental licenses to be granted, losing out on thousands of dollars in potential profits in the process.

The injunction issued by Judge Du blocks Clark County from imposing many of their short-term rental ordinances while the lawsuit plays out in the court system, including a pause on fines and citations for those operating rentals without a license.

The County cannot comment on pending litigation, but the County is aware of the order and will be reviewing it to determine next steps,” a county spokesperson told the media at the time the injunction was granted.

However, an attorney representing one of the plaintiffs, Mark Hutchison, declared that the injunction was the first step in securing justice for the hundreds of homeowners that are currently part of the lawsuit, and if successful, it may even have far-reaching implications for renters across the entire nation.

The ruling by Judge Du makes very clear that short-term rental owners and those who own properties and have a desire to rent them on a short-term basis, have property rights that are protected by the United States Constitution, and that the county has violated their property rights – and have violated their constitutional rights by not standing up a meaningful licensing scheme – and then, seeking to impose draconian fines against these property owners,” he said. “It’s a far-reaching ruling that it will have impact not only in Nevada, but I think throughout the nation.”

Lawyers representing the plaintiffs are also requesting a ruling from the court as to whether or not Clark County’s ordnances violate Nevada Assembly Bill 363, which upon passing into law in 2021 mandated that cities and counties within the state allow and create procedures for granting short-term rental licenses.

From that point, Clark Couty has been severely criticized for the slow, long, and drawn-out process of reviewing applications and granting licenses, with GLVSTRA’s Jackie Flores claiming that this bottleneck on the county’s part is by design.

“This has everything to do with protecting the resort hotel industry,” she said.
