Las Vegas Housing Market Update - October 2022

Rental Inventory is Reaching Historic Highs

At the end of October, rental market inventory was 3,469 rental properties. Throughout November, this number has passed 3,700 active listings. As mentioned in previous updates, increased mortgage interest rates and a slowing of the sales market results in more owners using their property as a rental as opposed to selling. Additionally, the fall and winter are the slowest seasons of the year for the rental market, and inventory naturally increases around this time of year as there are less people looking to move during the school year and holiday season.


In October of 2022, 1,985 rental properties were leased across the Las Vegas Valley. This is an 26.7% increase from October of 2021 (1,567 properties). The number of rental properties listed in October of 2022 was 1,993. This is a 108.7% increase from October of 2021 (955 properties). The median price of rental properties across the valley in October of 2022 was $1,950/mo. This represents a 2.9% increase from October of 2021 ($1,895/mo.). The average price of rental properties in October of 2022 was $2,153/mo. This is an 3.4% increase from October of 2021 ($2,048).

Here are the key takeaways for any real estate investor in the current market:



A) We are now seeing decreases in rent prices month over month with both median and average rent decreasing in October, even if only by a few percentage points. Moving forward, properties that were leased during the height of the pandemic may not be able to secure rent increases during tenant turnover and may even experience slight ($25 to $75) rent decreases. Since the most recent rent peak in May of 2022, average rental prices have decreased by $93 and median rental prices have decreased by $125.


B) Due to ever increasing inventory and the slight deflating of rent prices, many rental listings continue to have to go through multiple price reductions to find a tenant and are spending more time on the market. In fact, 50% of all leased rental properties in October had to go through at least 1 price reduction to get rented with an average price reduction of 9.6%. Additionally, the MLS average Days on Market has increased over the last 4 months from 21 days in July to 33 days in October. This is the highest Days on Market seen for the MLS since February of 2020. 


No matter the market conditions, every property is unique and needs a proper market analysis to determine what the current fair market rent would be. If you have questions about where your property fits into the current rental market, please reach out to us.

Wagging Tails Rescue: Giving Hope to Homeless Dogs in Las Vegas

June 4, 2025
Nestled in the heart of Las Vegas, Wagging Tails Rescue is a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to saving homeless and abandoned dogs from high-kill shelters and owner surrenders. Unlike traditional shelters, Wagging Tails Rescue operates through a network of loving volunteers and foster homes, providing temporary safe havens for dogs — especially pregnant moms and orphaned puppies — until they find their forever families. With no physical facility, the rescue’s strength lies in its community of passionate foster caregivers who nurture these pups with love, care, and attention. Beyond rescuing dogs, Wagging Tails Rescue champions responsible pet ownership through education on spay/neuter, positive behavior training, and proper nutrition. Want to meet some of these adorable dogs and maybe even adopt? Keep an eye on their Instagram @waggingtailsrescuelv for updates on frequent adoption events. From fun puppy yoga sessions to gatherings at Petco and even “Puppies and Pints” at Lovelady Brewery, there are plenty of opportunities to support and connect with this amazing rescue. Every wagging tail tells a story — and at Wagging Tails Rescue, those stories always end with hope and a happy home.

Las Vegas Parking Guide

May 27, 2025
If you’re a first-time visitor to Las Vegas, the idea of paying for parking might not be as big of a deal as it is to those of us who’ve been around for a while. Just a few years ago, it was practically unheard of to pay for parking on The Strip. Free parking was a standard expectation for both locals and casino guests alike. But times have changed, and many of the big casinos along the iconic Las Vegas Strip have started charging for parking. While we’ll let you draw your own conclusions about whether or not parking fees are justified (locals, we feel your pain), we’re here to guide you on where to park on the Las Vegas Strip. So, buckle up, and check out our list to see where you can park for free as a local! First three hours of self-parking are free for locals: • The Aria • The Bellagio • Caesar’s Palace • The Cosmopolitan • The Cromwell • The Excalibur • The Flamingo • The LINQ • Luxor • The MGM & Park MGM • Planet Hollywood • Wynn & the Encore Free Parking across the board • Rio • The Palms As a final tip when it comes to visiting the strip: Check and see if the casino does any sort of parking validation. A lot of times they will give you free parking if you spend a certain amount of money inside, are a guest (on a staycation) or are a certain tier level among their rewards programs. Remember, it never hurts to ask. If you're visiting Las Vegas, be sure to check with your hotel about whether parking and valet services are included when you book your room. It's a cost worth factoring into your trip planning!
