New Home Building Coming to a Stop? Las Vegas Real Estate Housing Update
In Las Vegas home purchases have dropped every month (except July to August) as interest rates have been rising. This has caused them to proactively slow down their building of new homes as interest rates have risen making it more expensive for them to build new homes and borrow the money to do it. It is possible in the future that there will be far less new homes under construction which means that the total supply of housing will potentially decline until interest rates start to decline.
One good thing about the slowdown in construction of new homes is that it forces people into the resale home market, which helps avoid a market crash. Indeed we still have a historically low number of homes for sale nationwide, and even in Las Vegas we have less homes for sale now that the same time in 2019. It is likely in 2023 that the supply of homes on the market will decrease and home prices will stabilize as soon as interest rates go back below 5%.
