  What is the Data Saying? Mortgage rates are currently quite low in the US, with experts predicting an average rate of 3.03% in 2021. While that is slightly higher than current rates of 2.8%, 2021 would still be boasting one of the lowest numbers we've seen in quite some time. However, are these numbers entirely accurate, or will we instead see rates continuing to drop in the years to come? Experts analyzing the current real estate situation have mixed results in their predictions. While most predict the numbers to tick upwards slightly for next year, certain research shows inconsistencies in interpretations drawn from their data. That could mean mortgage rates might continue dropping, especially when considering the effect that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on the U.S. housing market. The Low Rates We've Been Seeing Might Be Done When considering the fact that the effects of the pandemic might soon be diminished in their entirety, it's likely that the housing mark...

 The decision to purchase a house has always come with both pros and cons, no matter where you live, so buying a home in Las Vegas is no different. It is important to make a list of both and weigh them carefully against each other to see if now is the right time. Buying a home at the wrong time can lead to disaster, especially financially, as a house is one of the biggest investments most people make. Right now, the housing market in Las Vegas is on fire. The demand for housing is high, and the number of homes is tight. This makes it a seller's market, and the limited number of houses for sale is definitely a con at this point.

Average home prices in Las Vegas jumped from 335,000 in August to 337,000 in September, an increase of 8.8 percent. The real estate Web site Zillow estimates home prices will rise 4.5 percent in the next 1...

Home ownership has always been a rite of passage, and in some cases, a sign of prestige, as many believe this shows they "made it." Buying a home has never been risk-free, but owning one does have its positives. This is no different in Las Vegas where the housing market is tight. Houses have been selling like hot cakes in Las Vegas this year, despite quarantine and social distancing from COVID 19 and the effects it's had on the local economy. Nearly 4,000 homes were sold in July, a number that hasn't been seen since 2017. The price for a previously owned single-family home is, on average $337,000.

If you’re new to investing in real estate in Las Vegas , here’s what you need to know before you open your checkbook.
