thelasvegasluxuryhomepro.com /blog/las-vegas-high-rise-condos-sold-in-may-2015.html
Today's Las Vegas High Rise buyers have 534 options available in our most popular buildings. (For this
report, we only track the true high rise buildings that are at least 10 floors and built after 2000). This is an
increase from the 474 we started with in May and the 505 we started with in April. Nice to have more
options for buyers but increased inventory isn't good news for sellers.
Las Vegas High Rise Condos For Sale
Five of the condos that are currently
available are short sales. Four of

foreclosures. The remaining 525
condos listed for sale are traditional,
non-distressed properties.

Which High Rise Condos Sold in May?
Only 40 condos sold in our best buildings in May. That's a drop from previous months. We sold 58
condos in April and 78 in March. The March numbers were skewed with newly released developer units at
Palms Place. In February, which was a short month, we sold 48 condos. Only in January did we sell
fewer with 35 closings that month. It's also a drop from May 2014 when we sold 51 condos in our best
high rise buildings.
The building with the highest number of closings in May was Turnberry Towers. Seven luxury
condos sold in the two towers. The Martin was second with six condos that sold. Deals at The Martin
included two of the "grey shell" units. Units 4300 and 4408 sold without interior walls or fixtures. They still
fetched $1.4M and $1.6M.
Las Vegas High Rise Prices and Trends
The high rise market continues to plod along in its recovery. Prices are higher than two years ago but the
number of units selling each month is low compared to the number of units available. If no new condos
came on the market, the units currently listed would last 13.4 months. More than six months is considered
a buyer's market. If we take the average number of condos sold over the past year, the number of units

2. listed today would still last 10.5 months.
One of the 40 condos that sold in May was a short sale. Unit 2809 at SKY was listed for $400K and sold
