Las Vegas Real Estate Report August 2009:Sales are rising


Available inventory continues to decline week after week. Our current number of contingent and pending homes exceed the current available homes.

During the past seven days, the number of available properties dipped by another 105 units, bringing total inventory to 12,553 homes. Compared to the same week of the prior year, inventory is down 43.2 percent, or a decline of 9,543 units (from 22,096). Availability is at its lowest level since December 2005, a period when the median resale price was nearly $285,000; for comparison purposes, the latest median price is nearly $125,000.

As properties move from an "available" status, they generally migrate to the contracted status either contingent or pending. Contingent units are awaiting some action, such as a bank's approval on a short sale. The combined total of contingent and pending units reached 14,297, up 145 units during the past week, and up 6,958 units (or a 94.8 percent increase) from the same week of 2008. A number of short sale transactions still require lender sign-off, which contributed to the rise in unclosed sales. With short sales accounting for more than one-half of contracted units, it is unclear if all sales will close as planned.
