Las Vegas Appreciation Rates by Areas
All the areas we target outperformed the metro area. The area that performed the best surprised me.

Clients frequently ask about the appreciation rates for the different areas of Las Vegas. I will use the charts provided by the Las Vegas Realtor Association MLS to show comparable trends.
Below are two charts showing the median $/SF over the past ten years for single-family homes priced between $150,000 and $500,000, with a size between 1,000 and 3,000 SF. This is the configuration that roughly matches our target property profile.
The MLS statistics tool allows a maximum of four areas, so two carts with different areas are below.
The first chart contains:
- Entire MLS: These properties have the same basic parameters as the other areas but include the entire metro area.
- 89123 & 89183: This includes the area referred to as Silverado Ranch.
- Green Valley & Green Valley Ranch: This is the area commonly referred to as Green Valley.
- Summerlin: An area on the west side of Las Vegas commonly referred to as Summerlin.
The second chart contains:
- Entire MLS: These properties have the same basic parameters as the other areas but include the entire metro area.
- Centennial Hills: An area on the northwest side of Las Vegas.
- Summerlin: An area on the west side of Las Vegas commonly referred to as Summerlin.
- Green Valley & Green Valley Ranch: This is the area commonly referred to as Green Valley

Based on the two line charts above, it’s evident that all our target areas perform similarly. Below is a summary table displaying ten-year performance, followed by area maps and more detailed performance information.
- Summerlin area: 114.29%
- Green Valley and Green Valley Ranch: 130.43%
- Silverado: 135.85%
- Centennial Hills: 132%
- Entire MLS: 122.64%

Summary
The results surprised me. For our target property segment, Silverado area had the fastest growth, not Summerlin or Green Valley as I expected. Of course, past performance does not guarantee future performance, but this is still very interesting to note.
