Where the buying is easiest right now

These are the Henderson neighborhoods that score highest on buying conditions: what a foot costs, how far sellers have already moved, how long a listing sits and how much there is to choose between. That is a claim about the market, not about the place. Schools, safety, commute and noise are not in it, and nothing about the people who live somewhere is or ever will be.

What is different about buying in Nevada

The figures above are the same everywhere in the country, just with different numbers in them. These are the things that are actually different here, and they are the ones that catch people who have bought somewhere else.

Nevada has no state income tax

Nevada levies no personal income tax, which is the single largest difference between a paycheck here and the same paycheck in most other states. It is also why the federal price index on the cost-of-living page understates the difference: that index prices a basket of goods and services and carries no tax at all.

Property tax is capped, and the cap resets when you buy

A Clark County bill is built from a taxable value, a 35% assessment ratio and a district rate, then held under an annual increase cap of 3% for an owner-occupied home and 8% otherwise. The cap follows the property rather than the owner, so a buyer's first bill can land well above the seller's last one. How a Clark County tax bill is built.

Most of the valley is in a homeowners association

The Las Vegas valley was built in master-planned pieces, so an association and its dues come with a large share of the housing here. Read the resale package before closing: in Nevada an association's lien for unpaid dues can outrank the mortgage, which is a rule that catches people who have bought elsewhere. What HOA dues buy, and what the resale package hides.

A seller here has to fill in a disclosure form

Nevada requires a Seller's Real Property Disclosure on a residential resale, and selling a home as-is does not remove the duty to complete it. It is the cheapest reading you will do before an inspection, and the place where the county record and the seller's account can be seen to disagree. The disclosure form, line by line.

Water is the constraint people underestimate

Southern Nevada draws almost all of its water from the Colorado River, and the rules that follow have reached the yard: turf that nobody walks on has been prohibited from ornamental use, and desert landscaping is normal rather than a compromise. Expect a yard that is designed rather than mown.

Which part of Henderson should I look in?

That score is what a foot costs, how far sellers have already moved, how long a listing sits and how much choice there is. It says nothing about schools, safety or commute, and it is not a substitute for spending a Saturday driving around.

Should I rent first?

That depends on how long you stay, which is what the rent-or-buy calculator works out from your own numbers.

How current are these figures?

The asking prices, the count of homes for sale and the neighborhood scores come from our own snapshot of every active listing here, re-pulled this morning. Rent and income are Census five-year survey averages and the price index is annual, so those three lag a market that moves in months.

Asking prices, counts, days on market and neighborhood scores are computed by Kouzr from its own daily snapshots of active listings, not from an MLS or a licensed market report. Rent and median household income are U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey five-year estimates; the price level is the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis Regional Price Parity for the metro. Neither agency endorses this page. Automated estimates, not an appraisal, and nothing here is legal or tax advice. Data about homes and prices, never about people. How these numbers are made.
