Southern Nevada’s housing market delivered mixed signals in March, with median home prices posting a slight decline even as sales volumes surged and mortgage rates inched upward. Las Vegas Realtors released its monthly report on Tuesday, revealing a modest pullback in single-family home values amid persistent buyer interest.[1][2] Inventory levels expanded notably year over year, providing more options for prospective buyers navigating elevated borrowing costs.
Sales Rebound Strongly into Spring
A total of 2,806 existing homes, condos, and townhomes changed hands in March, marking a 41.8 percent increase from February.[3] Single-family home sales rose 6.8 percent compared to the previous March, reflecting renewed activity as the spring buying season gained momentum. Condo and townhome transactions, however, fell 9.1 percent from a year earlier.
This uptick occurred despite national headwinds, including higher interest rates tied to geopolitical tensions. The pace suggested a housing supply exceeding three months based on March closings, a shift from tighter conditions 12 months prior.[2] Fewer properties moved quickly, with 71.5 percent of homes and 68.5 percent of condos selling within 60 days – down from 76 percent and 74.2 percent the year before.
Inventory Growth Eases Market Pressure
By month’s end, 6,456 single-family homes lingered on the market without offers, a 19.2 percent rise from March 2025.
