CES did not disappoint this year! At the convention, Zach saw cool new gadgets, TVs and VR (virtual reality) and gaming equipment, but what he was really there for were the advances in smart home technology and the self-driving cars.

Whether you’re going to be living in your home while you sell it, also known as owner occupied, or you’re looking to get top dollar when you sell, there are many different reasons that people look to stage their home when they sell. Staging your home could help you get the best offers possible for a couple different reasons.
National home equity is falling, but Las Vegas bucks the trend. While U.S. household real estate values dropped $361 billion in Q3 2025 and equity-rich homes declined nationwide, Vegas homeowners maintain strong positions with just 0.5% distressed sales.

Unlike Sun Belt markets experiencing sharp corrections, Las Vegas prices are down only 2% from peaks—a healthy normalization, not a crisis. Local homeowners should feel confident despite concerning national headlines.
