Buying Property in Las Vegas

Did you love Vegas so much on your last trip that you are planning on moving here? You’re in luck, not a city in the U.S. rode so high on the housing bubble, nor fell so far as Las Vegas. Add to that no State tax, as long as you are not addicted to gambling Las Vegas is one of the least expensive cities in the country... we mean out of the cities where anyone would actually want to live (no offense Omaha, okay maybe a little offense Omaha).

On the Strip

Until recently the only people who lived on the Strip were celebrities and millionaires who could afford to live in a hotel room. With CityCenter all but complete, and most of the rooms open, you can now buy quality property with a Las Vegas Blvd address. Mandarin Oriental, Veer, and Vdara have condos ranging from 300k to 3M+. Keep in mind most of the rooms aren’t that large, for example currently (while writing this, it may have been sold since) Mandarin Oriental has a 1007 sq ft luxury condo for sale for over 3 million.

Condos in the 300k range at any of the towers will usually be even smaller and on lower floors with not quite the view. All of the condos are very beautiful, and this is the only property for sale on the actual Strip.

South of the Strip are many nice condos, and for a fraction of the price. These will range from 80k to the low six figures. Even though these places are on Las Vegas Blvd, they are not on the Strip.

Over the last couple of years hotels like the Rio, Polo Towers, and Planet Hollywood have built condos just off the Strip, literally within a block. These will range from the lower six figures to over a million depending on the current market.

High Rise Condos

You’ll see them sprinkled here and there across the Las Vegas Valley. These are a great alternative if you are looking for low maintenance, but do not want to pay the often outrageous prices of some of the luxury condos on and close to the Strip. Prices range from 60k and up depending on location and size.

Ranch Style Horse Properties

Yes, you can find them in the greater Las Vegas area, normally 20-30 minutes from the Strip in any direction. The main areas these properties will be available are far northwest past Ann Rd, and southwest and southeast, outside of Henderson and toward Pahrump respectively.

Las Vegas is, and has been for over a decade now, one of the fastest growing cities in the country. For a time Henderson (a suburb of Las Vegas) and Las Vegas were the first and second fastest growing cities respectively. You can find property throughout the city, from comfortable family living, to luxurious mansions in the historic district just south of the Strip.
