Las Vegas Housing Market Update - April 2022

The Market Is Still Hot!

The Las Vegas real estate and rental market has been on fire since mid-2020. While rental inventory levels are finally beginning to return to pre-pandemic levels, rental rates are still increasing across the valley.


In April of 2022, 1,942 rental properties were leased across the Las Vegas Valley. This is a 1% decrease in activity from April of 2021 (1,961 properties). The number of rental properties listed in April of 2022 was 1,252. This is a 63.9% increase from April of 2021 (764 properties). The median price of rental properties across the valley in April of 2022 was $1,955/mo. This represents a 17.1% increase over April of 2021 ($1,670/mo.). The average price of rental properties in April of 2022 was $2,182/mo. This is a 20.6% increase from April of 2021.

All of these numbers aside, there are two key takeaways:


A) With rental inventory increasing, you may begin to see less applicants on a given property. However, we are about to enter the summer, which is typically the busiest time of year in the rental industry. Inventory numbers should come down, while demand increases. This seasonal increase in demand will more than likely counter the increased supply.


B) Rental rates are continuing to increase and owners still have time to take advantage of the hot market. If a rental property is due for a renewal or is going vacant in the next few months, owners have the opportunity to be more aggressive with rent increases. If you pair the busy season, summer, with a market in these conditions, you have a recipe for a more profitable rental. Please be advised, due to Nevada State Law, if the lease has not yet expired, owners cannot make any changes to the current rental rate.


If you are an owner and you have questions about where your property fits into the current market situation, please feel free to reach out to us in-person or via phone or email. While the numbers look good, every property is unique and needs a proper market analysis to determine what the current fair market rent would be.

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!
