Home value in Las Vegas: what your house is actually worth
Send me your address. I will tell you what I think it is actually worth, which recent sales I used, and how I would price it if it were mine.
Home value in Las Vegas: the neighborhood decides, not the city name
Home value in Las Vegas, the city rather than the whole valley, comes down to the neighborhood, because a city this spread out is really a collection of small markets. A starter home in the southwest, an older house on a bigger lot near the center with no HOA, a condo near the corridors, and a newer subdivision home with dues are all Las Vegas addresses, and an online estimate that averages across them is guessing. The right comparables are the recent closed sales in your neighborhood, of your era, on your kind of lot, with or without an association the way yours is, and they are the only ones that count.
A real valuation is a position, not a printout: where your house sits among the recent sales around it, what buyers in your range are choosing and skipping right now, and how yours reads against the two or three it will be compared with in a buyer's saved search. That is what I send you.

The real number, from someone who sells across the city
I am John Arendt, a Realtor with Compass Realty & Management, and I have sold homes across the Las Vegas valley for 20 years from my office in the southwest at 8880 W Sunset Rd. You send me the address. I send you what I think the house is actually worth, the recent sales in your part of the city I used and why each one counts more or less, and how I would list it if it were mine. No obligation, and no follow-up campaign. If you want to talk, you call me.
The number you get is the one I believe, not the one that wins a listing. In this market a Las Vegas house priced high does not get negotiated down. It gets skipped, and the eventual cut tells every buyer it sat. How I get to the number, and the three ways you can list against it, is on the process page. If the real number is lower than you hoped, you hear it now.
How a Las Vegas valuation works, and what happens next
Send me the address, roughly when you are thinking about selling, and anything I could not see from the street: a remodel, a new roof, a pool, a converted garage, a lot that backs open space. Tell me whether the home is in an association and what the dues are, because they change what a buyer will pay for the same square footage. Then I pull the closed sales in your neighborhood, weight them for era, lot, condition and what buyers in your range are actually choosing, and send you the number with the sales behind it.
If you decide to sell, the valuation is already step one of how I sell a home in Las Vegas: the price is set, the presentation gets built before day one, and the marketing starts the day the house goes live. If you are selling to buy the next house, the sell-and-buy plan begins with this number. If the house needs work first, here is what to fix and what to leave alone. And if the answer is that now is a bad time to sell your particular house, you will hear that too.
What moves a Las Vegas number
Whether the home is in an association and what it charges, because dues are part of every buyer's monthly number. The age of the air conditioner, roof and water heater, which your buyer's inspector will find and which belong in the disclosure and the plan rather than in the asking price. A bigger lot in the older neighborhoods, worth real money to the buyer who wants a yard and nothing to the one who wants less of it. Which direction the big windows face, because west-facing glass is a summer power bill and buyers here ask. And what buyers in your range in your part of the city are actually choosing this month, which changes faster than any online estimate updates.
Whatever part of the city you are in, the first step is the same and it costs nothing: send me the address, or call or text 702-881-6562. More about Las Vegas and how I value homes across the valley are here.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my online estimate different from your number?
An online estimate averages across a city where a southwest starter home and an older house on a big lot near the center can carry the same price. I compare your house only against recent sales in your neighborhood, of your era, on your kind of lot, and I can see the kitchen.
Does an HOA change what my Las Vegas home is worth?
Yes. Dues change what a buyer will pay for the same square footage, and the rules in the resale package matter to some buyers and not others. Tell me whether the home is in an association and what it charges, and it goes into the number.
Is the valuation free?
Yes. You get the number, the recent sales behind it and how I would price it, with no obligation and no follow-up campaign. If you want to talk, you call me.
Las Vegas
What home value looks like in Las Vegas
I sell across the whole valley, not one zip code, so I do not need to steer you toward one side of it.
Las Vegas is the city inside the valley: the southwest's starter homes and newer subdivisions, older neighborhoods near the center with bigger lots and often no HOA, and condos near the corridors. My office sits at 8880 W Sunset Rd in the southwest.
- The homes
- The southwest holds a lot of the valley's starter homes and newer subdivisions, many with HOA dues. The older neighborhoods closer to the center offer bigger lots and often no HOA. Condos and townhomes sit near the commercial corridors. Summerlin and Southern Highlands are master-planned communities on the Las Vegas side of the valley with their own pages.
- Why people choose it
- First-time buyers and move-up families in the southwest, buyers who want a bigger lot and no HOA in the older neighborhoods, and downsizers and first-timers in the condos near the center. Many of my move-up sellers are selling from the southwest to buy across the valley.
- Getting around
- The 15 runs north-south through the valley and the 215 loops around it; between them they decide most commutes. The airport sits south of the Strip. My office is at 8880 W Sunset Rd in the southwest.
- Nearby
- Red Rock Canyon on the west edge, Lake Mead and Hoover Dam to the east past Boulder City, Mount Charleston up the 95, and the Strip in the middle of it.
- The trade-off
- Against the master-planned communities: the city gives you variety, from no-HOA older neighborhoods to new subdivisions with dues, and you trade the single planned feel for it. Two costs catch almost everyone: HOA dues where they apply, and the July and August power bill.
