Housing Market Report Aug 2013 Sales
Monthly Report
HE BOTTOM LINE The housing market remains a hot topic for those who analyze the Las Vegas economy and are keeping a close eye on its pace of recovery. Nevada has gone from the fastest
appreciating housing market in the United States, to the fastest depreciating market in the United States, only to come full circle in 2013 and once again post nation-leading price gains. For
some, the recent spike in pricing is merely a rebound from the markets overcorrection that pushed the median resale down to $100,000 in January 2012. For others, the recent price gains
reflect overly aggressive residential investment, gobbling up inventory, driving up prices and creating a whole new housing bubble that threatens to burst as soon as investors start looking for an
exit strategy. Respecting the clear distortions in the market, current pricing levels are more in line with household incomes and new construction levels are more in line with population growth
than they were at either the markets peak or its trough. Month-to-month price gains are slowing, availability in the resale market is rising (now at 2.6 months of availability) and the share of
cash purchases now stands at 48 percent of the total (the first time it has dipped below the 50-percent mark in nearly two years). The potential exists for some air to be let out of the bubble, but
an expanding population base, positive job growth and fewer investor purchases may lead to more sustainable sales volumes and pricing levels if the market settles at or near its present condition.
NEW HOME CLOSINGS: The number of new home closings reached a recent cycle high of 755 sales, which
was 25.4 percent ahead of a year ago. Through the first eight months of 2013, new home closings are up 62.4
percent with a total of 4,961 units.
NEW HOME PRICING: New home prices remain up 30.1 percent when compared to the prior year, but the
median has started to level out over the past three months. While the softening pace of month-to-month
gains is not a surprise, it does provide some insight into overall demand and buyers willingness to pay. Prices
reached $123 per square foot in August, higher than the $119 reported in July and the $105 demanded one
year ago.
umes continuing to show signs of slowing. On a year-to-date basis, closing volumes are off 10.6 percent. For
the past 12 months, sales totaled 48,667, down 12.6 percent from 55,702 closings in the prior period.

prices were at $102 (+24.3 percent year-over-year).

sectors at $119,000 per unit. The average price per
