| Below we have put together some links for both serious and
beginning investors with information and resources that will help
them make informed decisions about the market in Las Vegas. Multi
family investors have become very interested in the Las Vegas market
because supply - due to condo conversions and demolition for
redevelopment and population growth - has not been keeping up with
demand for the last three or four years, creating a ripe market. As
a result, occupancies are running in the high 90% range and rents
are rising at a 4% annual clip, a trend that is expected to sustain
itself given subprime mortgage meltdown and the fact that while
supply is catching up with current demand, it is not catching up
with the backlog from previous years.
Condo conversions have taken 20,000 to 21,000 rental units off
the market and redevelopment has taken another 6,000 to 7,000 units.
Major local rental operations are running as high as 96 to 97%
occupied.
Historical multifamily construction deliveries for the Vegas
Valley average 7,000 to 8,000 units per year, with absorption
tracking pretty closely. In 2005, however, new supply was negative
by up to 4,000 units. And while 2006 didn’t see negative supply, it
also didn’t keep up with demand and the same is true for 2007,
according to local market reports.
