Late-February in Vegas — Steady Rates, Smart Buyers & Spring Around the Corner

Late-February in Vegas — Steady Rates, Smart Buyers & Spring Around the Corner

There’s a subtle shift happening this week. The mornings are still cool, but the market feels like it’s warming up. Spring isn’t here yet — but you can feel it coming. Buyers are starting to circle back, sellers are preparing for March listings, and Las Vegas continues doing what it does best: staying active.

Market Snapshot — Week of Feb 18

The Las Vegas housing market right now feels balanced, not dramatic. And that’s not a bad thing.

• Mortgage rates are hovering in the low-6% range for many buyers — slightly improved from late 2025 peaks. That’s enough to get serious buyers moving again.

• Inventory remains healthier than last spring, meaning buyers have options and time to compare.

• Homes priced correctly are still moving, especially in the $400K–$700K range.

• Luxury listings are sitting longer unless updated and aggressively priced.

What that means:

• Buyers — You don’t have to rush. But well-priced homes are still getting attention.

• Sellers — Preparation matters more than timing. Clean, staged, priced right = results.

• Investors — Rental demand remains steady, especially near Summerlin, Henderson, and UNLV corridors.

This isn’t a frenzy market. It’s a thinking market.

This Week’s Real Talk

• If you’re buying, this is a smart window before the traditional March/April competition kicks in.

• If you’re selling, now is the time to prep — photos, staging, minor updates — so you’re ready before the spring wave.

• If you’re watching, notice this: stability is often the quiet opportunity.
