Market snapshot — real options finally

Short version: there are over 2,800 homes listed under $500,000 right now in the Las Vegas area. That’s not a typo. That’s more than half the market in active listings. If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for inventory, this is your moment.

What “under $500k” actually gets you

Before you picture a castle, let’s be real. Under $500k you’ll mostly see condos and townhomes, smaller single-family homes, some fixer-uppers, and newer homes further out from the Strip. Neighborhoods to watch: parts of North Las Vegas, Henderson pockets, Northwest Las Vegas, and select subdivisions where builders and sellers compete on value.

Why now? A quick, no-BS explanation

Inventory rose. Prices stabilized in many segments. That means more choices and less of the “all-cash over ask” nonsense you’ve heard about. More listings = more leverage for buyers. You don’t have to overpay just to get a roof over your head anymore.

How to win a home under $500k

• Get pre-approved before you look. I can’t stress this enough — sellers take offers with proof of funds seriously.
• Be ready to move fast on the right property. Good buys still go quick.
• Consider FHA/VA or down-payment assistance if you’re eligible. These programs get overlooked and they work.
• Think long-term: a lower-priced home can still build equity fast if you target the right areas and avoid overbidding.
