Las Vegas Market Condition Report...

01-31-08
Authored by: Michael Omid Shahabe

In Jan. 2008 there has been a total of 19,777 Single family homes and 5,320 condos for Sale in the Greater Las Vegas area. From this only 20% of the Single family homes and 16% of the condos have been selling.

Comparing to the same time last year there has been a drop of 39.5%. This has caused the number of foreclosure to increase in the Las Vegas Valley. The predictions would be that the Las Vegas area will still be a soft market till at least the early part of 2009. With the interest rates coming down more and more this will create a tremendous buying opportunity for those that have been sitting on the sidelines.

The office vacancies rose 15.28 percent in forth quarter, a 2.9 percent quarterly increase, due to a slowing economy and housing market fallout. CB Richared Ellis reports. This would be the valley's highest vacacny rate since the last quarter of 2001. Looks like this sectcor of the market is softening dispite the climb in the rents.
