Las Vegas Home Sales in Zip Code 89128 – Median Sales Stats for February, 2014
Average Home Sale Stats 89128 – February 2014
This time last year, a traditionally busy time of the year for Las Vegas Real Estate showed buyers were bidding up the prices as you can see from above where the sale price was more than the asking prices in the February 2013 rows. In February of 2014, you can see the decrease in the amount of closed sales and sale prices coming in lower than asking prices, along with Days Available for sale on the market increasing. A clear indication that today’s buyers are sensitive to today’s asking prices after the significant increases during the past year. This same trend has also been seen in the market reports for homes in Summerlin Zip Code 89138 and home sales in Summerlin zip code 89135.

The number of homes sold in Las Vegas zip code 89128 for February being less than January sales is to be expected with February being a shorter month.

You can see from the double digit difference in February Sales Prices in comparison to current asking prices, there is a strong suggestion that Las Vegas Home Sellers in Zip Code 89128 may be showing some exhuberance. At a time when month to month sale price numbers are showing a decline with a healthy number of homes available for sale also known as supply, right now is not the time to be pushing prices higher to buyers that are sensitive about asking prices.
*A Note about Days or Months of “Supply”. This is an ambiguous / theoretical statistic often used by real estate professionals but reality is that the months or days of supply does not mean too much unless all homes available for sale are priced correctly to begin with. Home sellers that are completely overpriced are not going to be able to sell their homes unless the supply of homes available is ridiculously low. It also can’t account for all of the new listings that enter the market while overpriced homes sit on the market. There are more important statistics to look at unless the months of supply is very low or very high. Current months of supply using the numbers above are 2.72 months of supply available but looking over the homes available for sale, there are numerous homes overpriced to begin with that I don’t think will be selling unless the owners reduce their asking prices.

For Las Vegas Home Sellers thinking about selling and would like a more detailed Las Vegas Home value evaluation with today’s market conditions considered, contact Paul Francis at 702.592.3058 or visit the Las Vegas Home Value Request form to get started.
With several Las Vegas Homes overpriced for the current market conditions, right now could be a great time to sell your Las Vegas area home before asking prices are adjusted to reflect current market values. Inventory for homes available for sale in Las Vegas has gone up, but many of the Las Vegas homes available for sale are priced wrong for today’s buyers and market conditions.
The days of just putting a Las Vegas home on the MLS, receiving multiple offers and selling within days are pretty much over unless the home is underpriced to begin with. Selling a Las Vegas home today for the most amount of money possible requires proper pricing, preparing the home for sale properly AND the proper marketing to get the job done. With over 13 years of actual experience and hundreds of Las Vegas homes sold with a nationally known Real Estate Brokerage that will be around for years to come, I can certainly help you with everything needed to start and get the job done for you.
