If you’ve been wondering whether now is the time to buy a home in Las Vegas or Henderson, you’re not alone. Many potential buyers are caught between the rising costs of rent and the dream of homeownership. With mortgage rates shifting, home prices stabilizing, and inventory growing, the market is full of opportunities—if you know where to look.

Let’s break down what’s happening right now and how you can make the most of it.

A recent report from Bank of America shows that 70% of prospective buyers worry about the long-term consequences of renting, missing out on equity building, dealing with constant rent increases, and lacking control over their living situation. If you’re feeling the same way, you’re not alone. Here’s why buying a home is still one of the smartest financial moves you can make:

If high mortgage rates have been keeping you on the sidelines, it’s time to pay attention. Rates have been trending downward, dropping into the mid-6% range, earlier than many experts expected. Even a small shift in rates can lower your monthly payment by hundreds of dollars, making homeownership more affordable than it was just a few months ago.

With economic uncertainty driving rate movements, this current dip could be a window of opportunity. If you’re thinking about buying, let’s discuss how locking in today’s rate could work in your favor before they shift again.

Yes, the cost of living has risen—but that doesn’t mean buying a home is off the table. Many first-time buyers are finding success by broadening their search areas. If your dream neighborhood is out of reach, looking just 10 to 15 minutes outside of your ideal spot could open up more affordable options.

Henderson, for example, has become a hot market for buyers looking to stay close to the action of Las Vegas without the higher price tags. A skilled real estate agent (like me!) can help you discover hidden gems that fit your budget and long-term goals.

If you’re serious about buying, here’s how you can take advantage of today’s market conditions:

Get Pre-Approved: Knowing exactly what you can afford makes your offer more competitive.

Negotiate Smartly: With more homes on the market, sellers are often willing to offer concessions—whether that’s covering closing costs, making repairs, or including appliances.

Act Fast on the Right Home: While inventory is up, well-priced homes in desirable areas still go quickly. Being prepared means you won’t miss out on a great opportunity.

And that means an opportunity for buyers. If you’ve been considering homeownership, now is the time to explore your options. Lower mortgage rates, increased inventory, and better negotiating conditions make this a moment worth seizing. *Source: mykcm.com
