Las Vegas home prices are rising at one of the fastest rates nationally, and builders are selling the most homes in years. But by almost any measure, the market remains a long way from the peaks of the bubble years last decade. The median sales price of previously owned single-family homes was $280,000 last month. That’s more than doubled since hitting bottom, but still below the peak of $315,000 in mid-2006. Builders sold 9,400 homes last year, the highest tally in almost a decade but far below the record of almost 39,000 in 2005. “Las Vegas has been climbing out of the hole for the better part of the last decade.” Brian Gordon, co-owner, Las Vegas-based Applied Analysis

Brothels in two Nevada counties are facing an uncertain future as referendum petition drives get underway to repeal ordinances that allow their existence. In Nye County, residents filed a referendum petition Tuesday that seeks to strike down the county ordinance that allows legal brothels to operate within its borders, weeks after Lyon County filed a similar measure. The Nye County referendum needs 1,963 valid signatures to qualify for the ballot in Nye, compared with 3,355 needed in Lyon. The deadline to collect enough signatures is June 15. County commissioners in each county will decide in July whether to strike down the ordinance or leave it up to voters. If brothels are banned in the two counties, eight of the state’s 21 brothels would be forced to close.
