Las Vegas Market Update – May 2012

Property Management Permit Course!

First, I am going to shamelessly plug Americana’s Pre-Licensing Property Management Permit course that was recently approved by the Nevada Real Estate Division. Registration is now open. Just click here to view the course and/or register.  However, walk-ins are welcome this Thursday morning, May 10th!

The Current Las Vegas Market

Single family residential (SFR) closings for April were down nearly 10% from Marth but and up 3% from April 2011. Overall inventory declined another 16% during April. That means there is ony about four to  six weeks of inventory available based on current demand.
