LAS VEGAS, NV – While they have dropped slightly in recent months, interest rates on mortgages still remain at historically high levels; however, as the Federal Government’s current shutdown drags on – fueled by the impasse between Republicans and Democrats on a new spending bill – experts have speculated its potential impact on home borrowing costs.

To save you the time, in summary, most economists and mortgage strategists cited in the Investopedia article expect little change in rates during the shutdown itself. Once the shutdown ends and data flow resumes, they anticipate a slight easing of rates (i.e. a downward move).

But speculation is just that – essentially a glorified theory – as the shutdown makes it more difficult to gauge the current status of the economy and, therefore, ascertain the direction mortgage rates may end up going in.

Yields on 10-year Treasury notes are what most heavily influences mortgage rates, and lenders base the pricing of their mortgage-backed securities (MBS) on the returns offered by competing government bonds, often bundling mortgages together to sell to investors. During a government shutdown, 10-year treasury notes are normally very coveted, resulting in more affordable lending rates due to notes’ rising prices and falling yields.

In addition, the hundreds of thousands of federal employees who are typically furloughed and not getting paid during a shutdown, and the delayed issuing of FHA, USDA, and VA loans – which are government-funded – in addition to federally-financed flood insurance could also cause rates to lower.

But shutdowns are unpredictable in terms of how they may impact mortgages, so there’s also the possibility that rates could swell once again, driven by factors such as credit and fiscal worries and economic uncertainty. Shuttered government agencies are also unable to release labor market and inflation reports, which have a large impact on investors, loan rates, and the overall economy.

One thing is for sure, according to Realtor.com senior economist Jiayi Xu- the longer the shutdown continues, the greater the economy – and lending costs – will be influenced, for better or for worse.

The longer the shutdown drags on, the greater its potential influence on markets and monetary policy decisions will be,” he said.

LAS VEGAS, NV – In a recent interview, Las Vegas Realtors (LVR) President George Kypreos commented on the current conditions of the housing market in Southern Nevada, noting that it was in the process of “going through a reset” and offering advice to both home buyers and sellers on how to best take advantage of the coming changes.

Kypreos first spoke about the existing state of the real estate market in the Las Vegas Valley, and the various circumstances influencing it.

Right now, the Las Vegas housing market is going through a bit of a reset,” he said. “After the rapid post-pandemic growth, we’re seeing more inventory on the market than usual. This shift is helping to bring more balance between buyers and sellers, creating a healthier and more stable real estate environment.”

While high interest rates on home mortgages have put many buyers on the fence as of late, Kypreos stated that Vegas still holds many advantages over the rest of the country when it comes to purchasing a house.

Demand remains strong, particularly for buyers who can qualify in today’s lending conditions. While interest rates have affected affordability, opportunities still exist for those who are financially prepared,” he said. “Our median home price sits around $480,000. That might seem high at first, but it’s still significantly more affordable than what buyers are seeing in nearby markets like California and Arizona. With continued job growth, lifestyle appeal, and Nevada’s tax advantages, Las Vegas remains a top destination for real estate investment and relocation.”

The LVR president also offered advice for both buyers and sellers on how to best navigate the shifting and evolving real estate market in the coming months.

For buyers: preparation is everything. Get pre-approved, understand your budget, and work with a real estate agent who knows how to navigate the Las Vegas housing market. There’s less competition now than in recent years, which means more room to negotiate and more chances to find the right property,” Kypreos said. “For sellers: make your home stand out. Homes that are clean, staged, and priced properly still sell quickly. Today’s buyers are informed and expect value. Don’t wait for a perfect market because the perfect time is when you’re ready and you have a clear plan in place.”

And finally, Kypreos touched upon what he would like to see improve in the residential market in Vegas in the years to come.

I’d love to see more initiatives that support affordable housing for first-time homebuyers and longtime residents,” he said. “Las Vegas is growing fast, and it’s important that we continue to create opportunities for families and individuals looking to plant long-term roots here.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – Las Vegas Valley property owners have experienced a whopping 28 percent spike in notices of default (NODs) year-over-year, but experts are telling residents “don’t worry” when it comes to the overall residential real estate market, saying it is simply fallout from the economic woes much of the nation is experiencing right now and not anything exclusive to Southern Nevada.

As per a new report released by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas’ (UNLV) Lied Center for Real Estate, the rise in NODs in Las Vegas is a sign that a greater number of low-income residents are encountering growing financial hurdles when it comes to making their monthly mortgage payments.

Since January 2022, approximately 5,400 NODs have been issued to property owners in Vegas, the UNLV report reveals; almost 25 percent of those defaults have taken place in the first half of 2025 alone.

According to UNLV department of economics professor and Lied Center research director Nicholas Irwin, the areas that are feeling the impact of increasing NODs are mainly east and southwest Las Vegas and North Las Vegas.

If you overlaid a map of poverty rates or you overlaid a map of per capita income, these would be areas that generally have lower income, higher poverty,” he said. “So, it’s not unexpected that, if the economy tends to worsen a little bit, these are probably going to be the areas that are going to be first responding to something through an increase in defaults and potential foreclosures.”

But for Southern Nevada residents who may be breaking out in a cold sweat when the current situation reminds them of the mid-2000’s housing crash, Irwin – as well as other real estate experts – is telling them not to worry, as the two situations are far removed from one another.

“This isn’t 2008. We’re not seeing 6,000-plus [NODs] a month being filed,” he said, noting that while defaults are rising in the valley, they are nonetheless nowhere near the historic levels they reached when the housing bubble burst over a decade-and-a-half ago; he also pointed out the fact that just because a NOD is issued, it doesn’t mean that it will actually end in a foreclosure.

As for the next year, Irwin said that depends on what happens with mortgage rates, and if more affordable housing is built in the region.

“So, it’s kind of a wait-and-see approach, I guess, for homebuyers and home sellers,” he said.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Las Vegas currently has a record-breaking number of luxury homes listed on the market – defined as properties priced at $1 million or higher – while sellers are scrambling to cut deals by lowering prices amid the competition.

Luxury listings in Vegas have increased a whopping 42 percent year-over-year, which is over 50 percent higher than the national average increase of 20.3 percent, as per July 2025 housing data recently released by Realtor.com.

While the total number of new properties on the market in Vegas increased 5 percent in July over the same period of time one year prior, builders and sellers alike are slowing down their momentum as the overall national real estate market experiences a slowdown due to high prices and expensive borrowing costs.

However, while $1 million might get you a small two-bedroom condominium in major metros such as New York City of Los Angeles, that amount gets you a great deal more bang for your buck in Las Vegas; we’re talking large homes coming in at 5,000 square-feet of living space, packed with numerous perks and amenities.

As a result, Las Vegas luxury real estate has been a proven draw for the affluent in society, especially considering the fact that Nevada has no state income tax. But as the luxury market continues to slow down amid national economic uncertainty, there is more and more competition amongst sellers, and that is translating into price cuts.

Prices for luxury homes in the $1.2 million-plus range in Southern Nevada have decreased 12.17 percent year-over-year, contrasted by the 1.14 percent national average; homes costing $2 million-plus – the range experiencing the steepest cuts – are down 18.3 percent, compared to 6.15 nationally. And as for the homes in the $6-million-plus range, those cuts are coming in at 15.21 percent versus 6.78 percent nationally.

But lowering prices is only part of the equation – now sellers are also waiting longer to make a deal. Luxury listings in Vegas are languishing on the market for a median rate of 64 days, a 5-day year-over-year increase.

Clearly, in today’s tough economic and socio-political climate, buyers – even affluent ones – are waiting longer, shopping longer, and negotiating with more gusto, and sellers are being forced, for the time being, at least, to adjust to make a deal.

LAS VEGAS, NV – According to a newly-released report, a growing percentage of homeowners in Las Vegas are falling behind on their mortgage payments when compared to just one year prior.

As per the University of Nevada, Las Vegas’ (UNLV) Lied Center for Real Estate, in Clark County in the first six months of 2025, approximately 1,290 notices of default on home mortgages were filed, which represents a 28 percent increase year-over-year.

Of those notices of default filed in the first half of this year, the vast majority of them – 1,035, to be exact – were on single-family homes, whereas there were 133 filed for townhomes and 83 for condominiums.

In June, the most recent month covered by the report, almost 200 notices of default were filed, a jump of 32 percent from the same period of time in 2024, the Lied Center for Real Estate said.

Typically, property owners who fall behind on their mortgage payments will file a notice of default, which is normally the beginning of the process of foreclosure; however, this doesn’t always represent the filing party losing their home, as it is still possible for them to come to an arrangement with their lender, or find alternate means of getting up to date with their outstanding debt.

However, despite the large increases in the number of defaults in Southern Nevada over the course of the last year, the Lied Center’s research director, Nicholas Irwin, said that number is still low when compared to much of the rest of the nation.

Nonetheless, he noted that the upward trend of defaults is nonetheless a cause for concern, given that the unemployment rate in Las Vegas is currently higher than the national average; this could translate to the local economy facing “turbulent times ahead,” Irwin said.

LAS VEGAS, NV – With both high housing costs and home mortgage rates driving affordability concerns upon the part of prospective home buyers, Las Vegas-based builders are hoping that the recent rate cut implemented by the Federal Reserve will make the act of purchasing a home in Southern Nevada more economically feasible going into 2025.

In a report released earlier in October, Las Vegas Realtors (LVR) stated that the cost of townhomes and condominiums had reached $299,500 in September, an all-time record high for the region. In addition, exiting single-family homes also approached record highs as well, reaching $479,900 in last month, just shy of the all-time record set in May 2022 of $482,000.

However, when it comes to the price of brand-new homes in the Las Vegas Valley, Home Builders Research reported that that number in September was $550,000 – yet another all-time record – which represents a year-over-year jump of 8 percent. New Townhomes also peaked in price in September at $393,990.

However, as time goes by and the Federal Reserve releases further cuts to interest rates, builders in Las Vegas anticipate not only the cost of constructing homes to correspondingly go down, but – most importantly – builders’ preferred lenders have the ability to offer buyers lower interest rates; those rates will only go down further as more rate cuts are implemented. This is opposed to sellers of existing homes, who would not have the luxury of lowered rates on par with those of new homes.

This, according to Charlie Dougherty, Wells Fargo Senior Economist, is why the new home market in Vegas is currently outperforming the existing home market; due to the lower rates, buyers are simply able to get more while comparatively paying less.

Builders are able to offer pricing incentives that bridge the affordability gap for buyers,” Dougherty said. “Builders have been able to offer a mortgage rate buy-down that helps attract buyers very concerned about affordability issues. Interest rates are certainly a big part of why existing home sales have been sluggish.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – As per a new report by Las Vegas Realtors (LVR), the median price of condominiums and townhomes in Vegas during the month of September hit their all-time high, while single-family home prices dropped ever-so-slightly still remaining perilously close to record levels.

In September, the median price of condos and townhomes in the Valley reached their highest level in history at $299,500, surging a whopping $7,500 over August’s $292,000 median price; this bests the previous record set in July when that amount was $296,000, and represents a 10.9 percent increase year-over-year.

As for pre-existing, single-family homes in Vegas, September’s median price was $299,500, a 6.6 percent year-over-year increase and an ever-so-slight decrease of just $100 from August’s $480,000 median price. September’s price, while infinitesimally lower from the month before, nonetheless remains just $2,100 shy of the region’s all-time record of $482,000, originally set in May 2022.

While real estate prices in Southern Nevada dropped slightly prior to the Federal Reserve’s half-percentage point interest rate cut in August, September overall saw prices rise yet again; single-family homes have increased in value in eight out of the nine months of this year so far.

LVR President Merri Perry nonetheless remained optimistic that the Fed’s rate cut – and the additional ones it plans to institute in the near future – will make homes in the Valley more affordable sooner rather than later.

The interest rate cut announced in September by the Fed can only help the housing market,” she said. “While I don’t think this will have a dramatic impact, it certainly helps people, especially prospective homebuyers.”

2.277 homes, condos and townhomes changed hands in Las Vegas in September, representing an overall decrease year-over-year among all three; home sales were 1.6 percent lower when compared to September 2023, and condo and townhome sales were down 12.1 percent.

LAS VEGAS, NV – As per a newly-released report by a construction industry analytics firm, Millennials are slowly being priced out of the Las Vegas housing market, with the group being ranked as one of the lowest in terms of home buying not only in Southern Nevada, but nationwide as well.

Construction Coverage notes that out of the 55 largest metropolitan area they examined, Millennials – defined as the generation born between 1981 and 1996 – were responsible for buying just 48.4 percent of the single-family homes in Las Vegas in 2023. Tucson, Arizona was the only city ranking lower than Vegas in this regard at 45.2 percent, while San Jose, California was the city with the highest percentage of Millennials home-buyers at 73.2 percent.

According to the author of Construction Coverage’s report, Jonathan Jones – a senior researcher for the firm – Millennials residing in the Las Vegas Valley were taking out mortgages in 2023 with the highest loan-to-value ratios of any age group. In addition, given the fact that an individual’s average peak earning and home-buying years are their mid-30s – the current age of the average Millennial – they are not purchasing residences at nearly the same level when compared to other demographics.

Recently, the cost of homeownership has skyrocketed in large part due to an adverse combination of high interest rates and scarce inventory, leaving millennials with a daunting homeownership outlook,” Jones said.

The median loan amount for Millennials purchasing a home in the Las Vegas Valley in 2023 was $385,000; those loans had an 86.2 percent median loan-to-value ratio, which is higher than for younger demographics. When looking at the overall rankings state-by-state, Nevada had the fifth-lowest Millennial home buying rate at 48.1 percent – Delaware was the lowest at 40.6 percent – whereas Massachusetts had the most at 64.2 percent.

Despite this, and an overall decline in home buying across the country, millennials still accounted for the majority of the nation’s home purchase loans in 2023 (56.9 percent),” Jones said. “However, rates vary by location. Researchers ranked metros by the millennial share of conventional home purchase loans originated in 2023.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – After a number of borrowing rate increases over the past several years instituted in an attempt to combat skyrocketing inflation and prevent a potential national recession, the Federal Reserve is finally expected to implement their first rate cut in four years on Wednesday, with experts anticipating that the move will begin to lower the historically-high interest on mortgage loans.

Other decreases due to Wednesday’s expected cut are to be seen with auto loans, credit cards – the nation debt for which recently hit $1.1 trillion, the highest level in U.S. history – and business loans.

The rate cut, which is anticipated to be by either a quarter point or half percentage point – and more cuts are currently in the pipeline – should make it easier for individuals and families who have been holding off on buying a home due to high borrowing costs to finally land a mortgage that they can afford. The last time the Fed instituted a cut – way back in 2020 – interest rates were at 5.25 to 5.5 percent, which at the time was the highest point they had reached in 23 years.

In contrast, over the past four years interest rates for mortgages peaked at a whopping 7.8 percent in October 2023; as of September 2024, rates have dropped to approximately 6.2 percent.

Experts say that, with the news of the Fed’s anticipated rate cut announcement on Wednesday, now is a good time for people to begin taking a close look at their financial situation, as some interest rates will decrease automatically, creating some measure of relief for cash-strapped citizens.

While the federal funds rate does not directly set mortgage rates, experts note that the two tend to go hand-in-hand and as continued cuts come to pass, borrowing rates should continue to fall. As that occurs, consumers are encouraged to consider refinancing existing home mortgages and those shopping for a home should step up their efforts amid the lowered borrowing costs.

LAS VEGAS, NV – During the mid-2000s recession, numerous families lost their homes to the dreaded malady of foreclosure. And while the housing market has obviously improved significantly since those days, experts are noting that the number of foreclosures nationwide is starting on an upward trajectory once again, with Las Vegas being considered as currently having the highest number of them. 

However, it’s not time to panic just yet, as the current level of foreclosures aren’t even close to approaching those seen during the recession; however, a new report from Attom Data does provide some sobering insight into the current state of the real estate industry, with both Las Vegas and Nevada as a whole placing prominently in it. 

According to Attom Data’s real estate market data analysis, approximately one in every 2,200 homes in Nevada is currently in a state of foreclosure, which is currently the highest rate out of any other state in the country. 

Las Vegas itself ranks 4th in the country among metropolitan areas with over 200,000 residents, with about one in 1,800 homes in foreclosure; the city also ranks first among metropolitan areas with over one million inhabitants. 

However, real estate experts are not sounding the alarm yet, because this is a situation that was anticipated for numerous reasons, the main being that pandemic-era mortgage moratoriums are no longer in effect after a sustained period of time when they were in force following COVID-19 related job losses.  

Current issues caused by the economy and inflation are also contributing to families having difficulty meeting their monthly home payments. 

However, experts note that there is indeed a light at the end of the tunnel, as the Federal Reserve appears to be almost done with the rate hikes they’ve been imposing in order to curb inflation and avoid a potential recession. With that being the case, it is most likely that mortgage rates will start to decrease back to more affordable levels, which should prove to be a large boon to the housing market.  

In the meantime, if you are having difficulty making your housing payments, foreclosure may not be your first option; it is recommended that you look into any programs that your local government or municipality may offer to assist you.

LAS VEGAS, NV – According to new data compiled by Construction Coverage – a group that provides in-depth reviews of solutions for the construction and real estate industry – the Las Vegas Valley had the second-lowest number of millennial home buyers throughout the United States in 2022, signifying that the demographic is having a particularly difficult time obtaining housing in Southern Nevada. 

As per the report, approximately 49 percent of home buyers in Las Vegas during 2022 were millennials, with the average age ranging between 25 and 44 years old, placing the city second-to-last among major metropolitan areas with the lowest number of home buyers from that generation.  

The lowest on the list was Tucson, Arizona, with 44.9 percent. In contrast, the major metro area with the highest number of millennial home buyers was San Jose, California, with 74.4 percent. 

Construction Coverage’s study was based on information gleaned from the Federal Financial Institution’s Examination Council, and its author, Jonathan Jones, said that the hurdles faced by millennials in Las Vegas come down to a matter of dollars and cents. 

While there are certainly several factors that can influence the housing market, price typically has an oversized influence,” he said. “From January 2021 to December 2022, the Las Vegas-Henderson-Paradise metropolitan area saw the median home sale price increase by 40.4 percent, outpacing the national median by 6.6 percentage points.” 

Millennials inherently have less home equity than older generations, and the rapid increase in home prices in the Las Vegas area likely priced out many millennial homebuyers,” Jones added. 

The median price for an existing single-family home sold in Las Vegas in August was $447,435, which is only a very slight decrease from the $450,000 that represented the median price in July; year-over-year, August’s prices were down only 0.6 percent.  

While these numbers represent a certain degree of stability returning to the Las Vegas real estate market after years of skyrocketing prices, homes nonetheless are remaining out of reach for many millennials, who are being hit especially hard by skyrocketing inflation rates throughout the nation.

LAS VAGAS, NV – With mortgage rates going over 6 percent for the first time in 14 years – with the last instance of this occurring during the Great Recession of 2008 – prices of many homes on sale in the Las Vegas real estate market have begun to lower in response, experts say.

The situation is causing some degree of confusion among prospective Vegas-area homebuyers, as many are unsure of what to do; should they wait to make a purchase until mortgage interest rates go down, or would they end up doing themselves more harm than good if that gamble fails to pay off?

However, experts are saying that those who are interested in buying a house should act now and lock in an interest rate, since the fact that home prices are dropping should serve to offset the amount that your monthly payment would be going up. For example, if a homebuyer were to wait and interest rates go up another half-percent, they would find themselves with a much higher monthly payment than if they had purchased a home that cost as much as $10,000 to $20,000 more.

Those in the know are also noting that higher mortgage interest rates may actually cause a reduction in the amount of homes available on the market, as there are not only fewer buyers, but also fewer sellers, with more people taking a “wait and see” approach to listing their homes until circumstances improve.

But real estate experts are saying they anticipate the issue to have less of an impact in Southern Nevada than it will have elsewhere in the nation, given the region’s strong job growth over the course of the last year, as well as the resurgence of the hospitality industry following the COVID-19 pandemic. The area’s low taxes and relatively affordable housing when compared to many other parts of the country are also still serving to drive interest in moving to Las Vegas.

Those factors, along with belief by some that mortgage rates may come down sooner rather than later, will ensure that Las Vegas will remain a competitive and attractive housing market for years to come.
