As you can see, one can’t discuss Las Vegas homes market without paying attention to the price range or type of home. Additionally now perspective Las Vegas home buyers can understand that the lower the price, the harder it is to get an offer accepted. For example for the price range of $50,000-$100,000 which is attractive to Las Vegas real estate investors, there is about 2 month worth of inventory; however, the foreclosure inventory is about 15 days. This is the reason that these bank owned homes get multiple offers and buying them through Las Vegas MLS will requires multiple offers.
On the other hand for the price range of $1,000,000-$2,000,000 there is 41 month worth of inventory and 8 month worth foreclosure inventory. Buying one of these homes is not difficult and one can lowball the initial offer and hope to get the home.
In conclusion, I hope that you understand that Las Vegas is not awash in foreclosures and about one month worth of bank owned homes in Las Vegas do not exert significant downward pressure on the pricing. Additionally in some cases, bank owned homes are priced higher than regular sales, thus, flat pricing this year.
