While most of the Las Vegas housing market tapped the brakes in 2025, the luxury crowd did the opposite and hit the gas. Nevada State Bank tallied roughly 2,462 closings at 1 million dollars or more last year, about a 13.6% jump from 2024, with Summerlin emerging as the valley’s top-selling luxury neighborhood.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which summarized Nevada State Bank’s High Net Worth Report, Southern Nevada saw 2,462 luxury home sales in 2025, 294 more than the prior year, a 13.6% increase. Summerlin accounted for 927 of those sales and posted an average luxury price near 2 million dollars, while The Peaks and Redpoint recorded about 292 and 82 luxury closings, respectively. The bank placed the average luxury home price in southern Nevada at roughly 1.9 million dollars.
Where The Money Went
The High Net Worth Report shows that price points depended heavily on the neighborhood. Henderson’s average luxury sale ran about 2.3 million dollars and the Las Vegas resort corridor about 2.2 million dollars, while Summerlin averaged roughly 2.0 million dollars. “Nevada’s luxury housing market experienced reassuring growth in 2025, even as the broader housing market slowed,” James Rensvold, executive vice president and director of Private Banking, said in the report. Henderson captured roughly 21% of the valley’s luxury sales in 2025, per the summary, as reported by KLAS.

All that gloss sits on top of a softer overall market. Las Vegas closed 2025 with the fewest annual home sales since 2007 and a notable rise in inventory across price tiers. That contrast, booming sales at the top while the rest of the market slowed, points to a more balanced market heading into 2026, according to local real estate data and industry leaders cited in a lowest sales since 2007 round up.
Listings priced at 1 million dollars or more have also surged. Realtor.com reported roughly a 42% year over year jump in 1 million dollar plus listings in mid 2025, a wave that has pushed some sellers to trim asking prices and given buyers more negotiating room. That shift helps explain why the 2 million to 3 million dollar tier climbed sharply even as certain higher brackets cooled…
