In this May 2026 market update, real‑estate professional Mia Kennedy delivers a concise overview of the Las Vegas housing market on her segment “The Real Tea in Realty.” She reports that the median home sale price has reached a record $490,000, a 2.1% year‑over‑year increase. Despite this price rise, overall sales activity remains flat while inventory has grown to roughly 6,600 homes, giving buyers more options and negotiating power. Kennedy advises sellers to focus on accurate pricing, staging, and high‑quality photography. For buyers, she highlights the availability of concessions, closing‑cost assistance, and rate buydowns. The luxury segment (homes $1 M+) continues to thrive, driven by cash buyers relocating from higher‑cost markets seeking lifestyle and tax advantages, with both price and inventory rising. She concludes with a call to action for viewers to contact her for home valuations or neighborhood updates.
