Number of vacant homes in Las Vegas dwindles, report notes
Las Vegas has fewer vacant homes than it did a year ago, but its share of empty properties still outweighs the national average.
Some 13,896 homes, or 2.1 percent of Las Vegas-area residential properties, are vacant, according to a new report from Attom Data Solutions, parent company of RealtyTrac.
The tally is down 17 percent from a year ago.
Nationally, 1.36 million homes, or 1.6 percent of properties, are vacant, Attom reported. That’s down 9.3 percent from a year earlier.
Attom said it compiled the report by matching its database of more than 85 million U.S. homes against monthly data from the U.S. Postal Service indicating whether a mail carrier had flagged a property as vacant.
