Las Vegas & Henderson Market Report
October 2026 · Updated monthly by Megan Stephens
Housing data as of the most recently completed month (August 2026, Las Vegas REALTORS); mortgage rates as of September 24, 2026.
Here's where the Las Vegas valley stands heading into October 2026, broken out by area so you can zero in on exactly where you're buying or selling. The headline: the valley-wide median existing single-family price held essentially flat at $475,000 in August — down $5,000 from July and about 1% below a year ago — while closed single-family sales ran about 2% behind last August. So this is a market cooling gently, not falling.
What has changed is pace and leverage. Single-family listings without an offer have climbed to about 7,590 — up 5.3% from a year ago — leaving the valley with about 4.2 months of supply, and days on market are up in nearly every area below. That's the most consistent signal in this month's data: buyers finally have time to think and room to ask, while well-priced sellers are still getting strong numbers. The bigger story this month is rates — the 30-year fixed jumped from the high‑6s to just above 7% in the back half of September, the sharpest single-month move of the year, which is why payment math is about to matter more than sticker price for a lot of buyers. Jump straight to your area below.
The Valley at a Glance
Market by Area
Summerlin (Overall)
Limited buildable land and steady high-income demand keep Summerlin the valley's premium market, and single-family closings are still running well ahead of last year on price. But days on market have stretched into the high 60s from the mid-50s this spring — buyers finally have room to negotiate even here.
Median Price $759,000 |
Year over Year ▲ 7.6% YoY |
Avg Days on Market 68 |
Henderson (Overall)
Top-rated schools and master plans like Inspirada and Cadence keep Henderson one of the valley's steadiest performers, with single-family values up solidly year-over-year and homes still moving in about five weeks — the fastest major area in this report.
Median Price $540,000 |
Year over Year ▲ 5.4% YoY |
Avg Days on Market 35 |
Northwest Vegas
Family-friendly and newer, with Skye Canyon, Sunstone, and Centennial Hills anchoring strong new-construction demand. Values vary a lot block to block here — the zips nearest Summerlin run well above this figure, the outer zips well below — so a street-level read matters more than the area average.
Median Price $445,000 |
Year over Year ▲ 5.0% YoY |
Avg Days on Market 42 |
Southwest Vegas
One of the valley's fastest-growing corridors (89141, 89113, 89178) with heavy new-build activity. The area average has eased slightly year-over-year even as premium pockets like 89113 keep outperforming, and days on market have climbed the most of any major area.
Median Price $475,000 |
Year over Year ▼ 2.1% YoY |
Avg Days on Market 75 |
North Vegas
The valley's most affordable entry point, with single-family prices still inching up year-over-year even as the broader valley cools — a sign of how much demand there is at this price point.
Median Price $422,000 |
Year over Year ▲ 1.8% YoY |
Avg Days on Market 46 |
East Vegas
Established, central, and value-priced relative to the west side. Prices are up modestly year-over-year, but this is now the slowest-moving major area in the valley — sample sizes are small, so pricing here is street-by-street.
Median Price $349,000 |
Year over Year ▲ 5.7% YoY |
Avg Days on Market 79 |
Neighborhood Deep-Dive
Want to focus on a specific community? Here are detailed reads on the valley's most-requested master plans.
Summerlin West
Newest Summerlin villages and the heart of Megan's new-construction coverage at grandparknewhomes.com. The valley's priciest submarket by a wide margin; prices are still up modestly year-over-year, but days on market have climbed into the 70s as builders release more standing inventory.
Median $787,000 |
YoY ▲ 1.1% YoY |
Days on Mkt 70 |
Inspirada
Henderson master plan beloved by families for parks, trails, and newer homes — one of the strongest appreciators in this entire report, with sales volume actually up year-over-year even as days on market lengthen.
Median $581,000 |
YoY ▲ 8.2% YoY |
Days on Mkt 62 |
Cadence
Fast-growing Henderson community with amenity-rich living and active new construction. Prices are up solidly year-over-year, but days on market have more than doubled from last year's 34 — builder base prices start well below this resale median, which is exactly why entry-price headlines mislead buyers.
Median $530,000 |
YoY ▲ 5.8% YoY |
Days on Mkt 75 |
Green Valley
Established, central Henderson with mature neighborhoods and top schools. Figure reflects Green Valley Ranch, which runs meaningfully higher than Green Valley North and South — ask me for a street-level read on those.
Median $600,000 |
YoY ▲ 4.3% YoY |
Days on Mkt 43 |
Skye Canyon
Northwest favorite; fitness-focused amenities and heavy new-build demand keep values climbing modestly. Note: the most recent closed-sale read available for this specific community is from this spring — ask me for the latest before pricing a listing here.
Median $592,000 |
YoY ▲ 2.1% YoY |
Days on Mkt 82 |
Sunstone
Newer NW master plan along the 215 with brand-new construction from Lennar, Shea, and Woodside — still the strongest year-over-year number in this report. Note: the most recent closed-sale read available for this specific community is from this spring — ask me for the latest before pricing a listing here.
Median $630,000 |
YoY ▲ 8.1% YoY |
Days on Mkt 73 |
Centennial Hills
Spacious NW value with newer homes and easy access to the 215. High sales volume makes this one of the most reliable reads in the valley — up modestly year-over-year with days on market still reasonable.
Median $495,000 |
YoY ▲ 3.1% YoY |
Days on Mkt 54 |

Why a single point matters 💰
On a typical $475,000 valley home with 20% down, the monthly principal & interest is about $2,536 at today's 7.03%. If rates drop a full point, that same home costs roughly $2,286/mo — about $250 less every month. This is why pre-approval and rate timing matter as much as price. (Estimate, P&I only; taxes, insurance & HOA not included.)

This October 2026 edition is compiled from Las Vegas REALTORS® (LVR), Redfin, and area market reports, using the most recently completed housing data available (August 2026) and mortgage rates current as of September 24, 2026. Area and neighborhood figures are single-family only where the source distinguishes it; some levels differ from prior issues because condo and townhome sales were removed.
