Be Careful! 7 Things to Look Out for When Hiring an Agent
There are some key points to look out for when selecting your real estate agent that could be warning signs that you’re not hiring the right realtor for you. Now don’t get me wrong, an agent that meets any of these 7 points does not necessarily mean that they won’t find you the perfect home or sell your current house for the best price, but if you do not have previous experience working with the agent it may be best to find a different one.
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.
