Home values growing in Las Vegas Valley

Las Vegas home prices climbed in the Las Vegas Valley last year amid strong demand and plunging availability. The biggest price jumps were in older, more centrally located areas of the valley. Even with its damaged mailbox, peeling stucco, overgrown yards and obscene graffiti this North Las Vegas home’s value has shot up more than fivefold. For three years the highest median sales price has been $385,000 in Summerlin’s 89138 ZIP code. As the market heats up, some buyers are getting priced out of certain areas and are gravitating toward more affordable homes.
