Home prices in Las Vegas

Las Vegas Valley Home prices have fallen off a cliff -- which, of course, means it is a great time for buyers.  

Foreclosures continue to be a significant part of home sales.  Most of the resales were foreclosed properties.

In October 2009 and for the last 4 months the median single family home price has remained the same: $135,000.  This seems to indicate a price stabilization.  This is down 30% from a year ago in October 2008.  The peak average price reached in June 2006 was $312,000.

Please note that these figures do not include new homes or sales by owners.
