A Market Shift Buyers Have Been Waiting For
Modern luxury estates in the Southwest Corridor are seeing increased negotiability.
Understanding the "New Normal"
In 2026, the power dynamic has shifted. We are seeing three specific trends that favor the buyer:
- Seller Concessions: 40% of closed sales last month included seller-paid closing costs or rate buy-downs.
- Inventory Growth: Active listings are up 18% year-over-year in Summerlin and Henderson.
- Appraisal Gaps: The days of paying $50k over appraisal are largely behind us.
Roy's Expert Tip
“Don’t just look at the list price. In this market, the ‘terms’ of the deal—like repair credits and flexible closing dates—are where the real value is won.”
