Southern Nevada entered the fourth quarter with a $470,000 median price for existing single-family homes, a $290,000 median for condos and townhomes combined, and about five months of housing supply at September’s sales pace. Those September figures give us a starting point for Q4, which runs through December.

I moved to Las Vegas in 2006, raised my family here, and have watched the valley go through very different markets. If you’re deciding whether to renew your lease, buy a home, or sell before the end of the year, here’s what I’d look at.

What is the median home price in Las Vegas heading into Q4 2026?

Southern Nevada resale market September 2026 Compared with September 2025
Existing single-family median sale price $470,000 Flat
Condo and townhome median sale price, combined $290,000 Down 1.4%
Single-family sales   Down 7.4%
Condo and townhome sales   Down 12.6%
Housing supply at September’s sales pace About 5 months About 4 months a year earlier

The single-family median was unchanged from a year earlier, but it had come down from $490,000 in May and June. With fewer sales and more months of supply than a year earlier, buyers may have more room to compare homes. How much room depends on the neighborhood, the price range, and the individual property.  Roughly 42.4% of active Clark County listings experienced price reductions as agents navigated a more negotiable environment with rising inventory. It's a buyer's market. 

  • If you’re buying, check how long the home has been listed and what similar homes nearby actually sold for. If you’re comparing a condo to a house, include HOA dues in the monthly cost and ask about planned assessments.

  • If you’re selling, look at what a buyer could tour this weekend in your price range. Then look at recent closed sales. Together, they show what buyers can choose today and what they’ve recently been willing to pay.

  • If you’re renting, put your lease renewal next to a realistic ownership budget. Include the cash you’d need at closing and the full monthly payment so you can decide what fits your life.

How many new homes sold in Southern Nevada?

Home Builders Research counted 483 net new-home sales in Southern Nevada in September, down 5% from a year earlier. Builders pulled 585 permits, roughly flat year over year, and recorded 6,143 closings from January through September, down 20% from the same stretch in 2025. A permit signals planned construction, a net sale counts signed contracts after cancellations, and a closing is a completed sale. Home Builders Research figures reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal

If you’re touring model homes in southwest Las Vegas and comparing them with resales in Henderson, ask for the price of the specific home and lot. Find out what’s included, what the upgrades cost, when you can close, and whether an incentive requires the builder’s lender. If there’s a temporary rate buydown, ask what your payment will be after it ends. Then compare the cash you’ll need at closing and the monthly cost of both homes. Make sure you have an experienced agent with you before you tour a new home community. Everyone there works for the builder.

Las Vegas welcomed about 3.1 million visitors in September, up 0.2% year over year. Through September, total visitation was about 28.9 million, roughly even with the prior year. Convention attendance was up 9.6% over that same nine-month period, reaching nearly 5 million. So while overall visitation held steady, convention attendance grew. LVCVA Research Center

A big weekend can fill hotel rooms. If you’re thinking about moving here, I’m more interested in what your average Tuesday looks like. Where will you work? How long is your commute? What can you comfortably spend each month? Those answers help narrow your home search faster than a valley-wide median.

Are Las Vegas home prices falling?

It depends on the property type and the time period. In September 2026, Southern Nevada’s median existing single-family sale price was unchanged from a year earlier and $20,000 below the May and June medians. The combined condo and townhome median fell 1.4% year over year. Las Vegas REALTORS® September report

What does five months of housing supply mean?

At September’s sales pace, it would take about five months to sell the available inventory if no additional listings came on the market. That’s a market-wide measure. To gauge your options, compare listings and recent sales in your neighborhood and price range.

How should I compare a new build with a resale in Las Vegas?

Compare the price of the specific home, cash due at closing, ongoing monthly costs, and move-in timing. Ask whether builder incentives depend on the lender you use and what the payment will be after any temporary buydown expires. Also, keep in mind that equity in a new home build may take several years.
