According to GLVAR
President Linda Rheinberger, the inventory of homes on the market in the Las Vegas area appears to have peaked, which is a good sign for the local housing market. It is likely that many of the listings have expired this past month. A low number of homes sold and the typical number of listings entered the market. However, the overall number of listings dropped considerably in certain areas. Many people have decided to just hold off through the holidays and school year.
According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, this month's GLVAR statistics include activity through the end of November. This month's highlights include:

For local condos and townhomes, the median sales price in November went down slightly to $199,950, from $200,000 last month.
