A home in The Ridges with garage space for 12 vehicles and indoor basketball court sold for $14.7 million in April to lead the way in luxury sales as 2025 is off to its strongest start since 2022.
So far, the Las Vegas luxury resale market has been immune to the stock market decline and concerns about the global economy by recording 178 sales of single-family, homes, condos and townhomes of $1 million and higher in April, according to Forrest Barbee, corporate broker for Berkshire Hathaway Home Services.
That brings the four-month total to 635, a 9 percent increase over the 581 during the first four months of 2024. The all-time record is 659 luxury sales in the first four months of 2022.
In the $3 million and above category tracked by Barbee, there were 19 such sales in April, four fewer than April 2024.
For the year, the 78 sales of $3 million and above top the 77 in 2023.
Rob Jensen with the Rob Jensen Co. said there were 30 sales between $2 million and $2.99 million in April. There were nine sales between $3 million and $3.99 million. There were 10 sales of $4 million and higher.
The luxury market shows no signs of slowing. Barbee reported there were 212 sales pending of $1 million and above. The average listing price of homes on the market is $2.85 million.
The sale in The Ridges came during a month in which the median sales price in the Las Vegas luxury home sector was $1.4 million and average sales price was $1.94 million.
