High End Las Vegas Homes

I see high end homes in Vegas on the market for $2 million


$10.9 million


$14 million


Is the market for high end suburban homes recoverying? I assume that the multi-million dollar condos on the strip are still tanking.

But are they selling? If you look up a lot of the Vegas
homes that are for sale, a lot of them have been on
the market for quite awhile.

I agree. One should look at the sold listings, not what is currently available on the market.

However, I will also argue that the ultra high end market is fairly recession proof.

Plus two others that sold from $4M to $5M.

But I was just wondering about the market as a whole, not some random properties.

That was 2009, lots of people were confident
the recession was over. I want to see what
they'd really sell for today.

Including me. Biggest mistake I ever made. The market went down about 20% since I bought in the summer of 09.

They were showing the rich old guy a huge
house on Duck Dynasty. He said it was too big.
All he needed was a place to eat, a place to
watch TV and a place to sleep. I know what
he means. My office is 10 by 10 and I spend
85% of my waking hours in here. Sometimes
less is more.

I agree with EvenBob. I don't need a lot of space. However, for me location is important. I would rather live in a tiny house or condo unit next to the ocean then a mansion in a bad location.

Well, here is a monster size home whose price went up in a little over 4 years.

But I must admit when you look at the listing history (it's back on the market again), I have to wonder if that sale was a sham. It may be possible that the bank foreclosed, but it shows up as a sale somehow.

Yes, indeed. There is a boom in tiny houses to take advantage of vest pocket lots or Mother In Law zoning. Sometimes a small weekend retreat in the woods or by the sea is so much simpler if its simply a shipping container that unfolds on site.

Heck, even those Teardrop Trailers are making a come back now for some reason. And Motorcycle Campers are selling as well.
