Best July ever for Las Vegas luxury home sales

The existing luxury home market saw the most homes sold in July in history led by the sale of a $15.75 million home in the Summit Club in Summerlin.

The luxury market — those closings of $1 million and higher — shows no signs of slowing despite higher interest rates impacting lower-price levels. There were 171 closings in July, topping the record of 167 in July 2021, according to Forrest Barbee, corporate broker for Berkshire Hathaway Home Services. But that number is affected by appreciation that boosts the number of homes priced $1 million and above.

There were 133 luxury sales in July 2023 and 107 in July 2022, when rising interest rates started to slow sales. The reason the luxury market shows no signs of slowing is there were 172 luxury sales pending as of Aug. 1, and 342 homes came on the market in July. There are 941 homes on the market of listings $1 million and higher with an average price just under $3 million at $2.97 million. The average sales price in July was $2.12 million with the median price of $1.47 million, according to Barbee.
