| Market Commentary Provided by Mary Ann Lightfoot-Guilford While new home sales are down 43.8 percent for the year and median prices have slipped 4.4 percent, May showed some upward momentum from April. The number of new single-family home sales rose 11.7 percent to 1,751 in May, as the median price dropped 3 percent from the previous month to $250,000. Las Vegas is unique. It has a booming hotel and gaming industry that is projected to produce significant job growth over the next three to five years, maybe longer. New jobs result in more housing demand. |
