The Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors reported Local home prices increase slightly after three-month holding pattern, GLVAR housing statistics for June 2019

Local home prices broke out of a three-month holding pattern to post a slight increase during June, according to a report released Tuesday by the Greater Las Vegas Association of REALTORS® (GLVAR).

The total number of existing local homes, condos and townhomes sold during June was 3,626. Compared to one year ago, June sales were down 11.1% for homes and down 12.0% for condos and townhomes.

At the current sales pace, Carpenter said Southern Nevada still has less than a three-month supply of homes available for sale. While the local housing supply is up from one year ago, she said it’s still below what would normally be considered a balanced market.

By the end of June, GLVAR reported 7,815 single-family homes listed for sale without any sort of offer. That’s up 80.3% from one year ago. For condos and townhomes, the 1,937 properties listed without offers in June represented a 135.6% jump from one year ago.
...
The number of so-called distressed sales remains near historically low levels. GLVAR reported that short sales and foreclosures combined accounted for just 2.2% of all existing local property sales in June. That compares to 2.6% of all sales one year ago and 6.3% two years ago.
