Vegas luxury home market bucks housing slump

The Las Vegas luxury resale market remains on a record pace through July led by a $25.25 million sale in MacDonald Highlands. It was one of 171 sales of $1 million and higher in July, matching the same number in July 2024. The average price paid for a luxury home in July was $1.96 million, according to Forrest Barbee, corporate broker of Berkshire Hathaway Home Service. Barbee reported there were 195 pending sales of $1 million and higher, showing that the luxury market isn’t slowing down while sales are down in the market overall.
