SID and LID Fees Explained
SIDs and LIDs are somewhat common in the Las Vegas valley with all of the new home construction and are fees placed on a property by the home builder or developer. They are assessments made by municipalities on new communities when a city or county installs infrastructure on previously undeveloped land.
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.
Our market's resilience stems from locked-in low mortgage rates (averaging 4%), economic diversification, zero state income tax, and sustainable price growth. 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.
