Ask most people where to live in Las Vegas and you’ll hear the same four or five answers. Summerlin. Henderson. The southwest. Maybe the northwest if they’ve been paying attention. Almost nobody says 89120. Which is funny, because it sits minutes from the airport — and still manages to fly completely under the radar. It’s one of the most centrally located zip codes in this entire valley, and it’s the last place left where you can buy real land without organizing your whole life around a commute.

Quick answer: In the last seven days, the Las Vegas market saw 1,554 new listings, 1,816 price reductions, 225 homes come back on the market, 956 go under contract, and 609 close.

Everybody’s got an opinion about the Las Vegas housing market right now. Almost nobody’s looked at the week. So I did.
