Your Guide to the Hotsheet: Is the Las Vegas Market Sizzling or Just Getting Started?

Hey there, friends! It's your favorite ethical Vegas realtor again (yeah, the one who talks hockey and houses like they’re the same thing—fast-moving, strategic, and occasionally brutal). And let me tell you, this week’s Las Vegas MLS Hotsheet? It’s got some heat.

We just had 1,016 new listings hit the market. That's not a typo. Over a thousand fresh listings in one week. I haven’t seen this much action since the Golden Knights made their Cup run. And here’s the kicker: it’s not just quantity—it’s quality. Let’s break it down, no BS, just insight.

Seller Confidence Is High

When this many homes go live in one week, it usually means sellers are feeling good. And honestly? They should be. Demand’s still strong, especially for homes priced right. If you're selling, the window is wide open—but only if you're realistic about price and presentation. Don’t get cute. Price it smart and you’ll move.

Average Price vs. Real Price

The average price this week? Around $585K. But let’s be honest—averages are like those slot machines at the airport. They don’t tell the whole story. The median price is $485K, and that’s the real bullseye. That’s where most buyers are shopping and where most sales are closing.

Now, here’s the twist: new listings are averaging closer to $598K. That means sellers are either listing high-end homes, or some folks are getting...let’s say aspirational. If you’re buying in Summerlin, Henderson, or anywhere near a good school or shiny new development, expect to pay up.

How Fast Are Homes Selling?

The average Days on Market is 48, but the median is just 26. Translation? Most homes are selling in under a month, especially if they’re priced right and look good. The 48-day average is dragged up by overpriced listings that have been sitting longer than a puck in an empty net.

So if your home's still listed after two months? It's probably overpriced, under-marketed, or both.

Hot Zip Codes Right Now

Here are the top five zips for inventory this week:

• 89011 (Lake Las Vegas & Cadence)

• 89084 (Aliante & North Las Vegas)

• 89052 (Henderson/South Green Valley)

• 89121 (East Vegas—classic 70s ranches & flips)

• 89138 (The Vistas in Summerlin—yes please)

If you're buying in any of these zones, you're in the thick of it. Expect more competition, more showings, and possibly more offers. Know your budget and move quick.

Pools, Beds & Baths

Want a private pool? Join the club—but get ready to search harder. Most homes on the sheet don’t have one. And for beds and baths, the sweet spot remains 3 beds, 3 baths, single-story or two. That’s the Vegas starter pack right there.

Final Take

Whether you’re buying or selling, this market isn’t cooling off—it’s evolving. More listings give buyers more choices, but pricing is still everything. Sellers, don’t chase old comps. Buyers, stay ready to strike.

And hey, if this all feels overwhelming, that’s why I’m here. DM me. Call me. Or send a carrier pigeon—I’ll get back to you either way.
