Real estate website and blog Las Vegas Homes By Leslie is reporting the Las Vegas housing market experienced a nearly 40% increase in home sales from February 2015 to March 2015. The massive one month increase is the largest since 2006, reported Homes By Leslie owner and blogger Leslie Hoke.
Hoke, who is also an experienced Las Vegas realtor with over 12 years of experience in the Las Vegas market said, “The numbers are very encouraging, especially because home prices didn’t change. That means the sales were driven by healthy economic factors.”
“Prices are stable. They’ve increased 5.1% since this same time last year. That’s a good rate. When you factor in stable prices, affordable prices, and low interest rates, you’ve got a recipe for good things to happen,” said Hoke.
“I don’t think it’s a stretch to also say that sellers are pricing their homes at realistic levels. The past few months I saw a lot of sellers and realtors pricing homes too high. When that happens, things stall. Buyers are too smart to overpay for homes. Certainly the warmer weather has something to do with it, but when that large of an increase occurs, there are other things going on than just the sunshine,” Hoke went on to say.
“I’m optimistic that the great month isn’t just an outlier. I’m hoping it’s the beginning of a trend that will continue. All signs are pointing that’s what is happening,” said Hoke.
