Peak prices

Las Vegas home prices are growing more than twice as fast as the national average. But resale prices are still below their pre-recession peaks. The median sales price of a previously owned single-family house was $300,000 last month. That's up from $118,000 in 2012 but still below the peak of $315,000 in 2006, says the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors. Adjusting for inflation, the gap is even wider: The peak resale price in today's dollars is around $390,000.
