The Zach WalkerLieb Show: Investing with Lynsey Freeman
Zach and I got to sit down with Lynsey Freeman, a financial advisor and the managing director at WestPac Wealth Partners in Las Vegas, and she shared some very interesting information with us regarding personal investments and the importance of starting to save early.
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.
