"Las Vegas is becoming a celebrity safe-haven" - James Meadows, REALTOR
James Meadows, a luxury homes specialist with Berkshire Hathaway, says "Las Vegas is becoming the celebrity safe-haven for out of work singers and musicians till they can go back on tour." Meadows says celebrities, musicians, and athletes are selling their Multi-Million dollar homes in California and buying a nicer "million dollar home" in Vegas and banking the rest. He says before Covid most were just trying to escape high California taxes and cost-of-living. Now they are cashing out and moving to Las Vegas to keep their high lifestyle level for half the price. Even the 2020 record sale of $14,500,000 in The Ridges is still a deal compared to the 10 major cities in America.
A recent study ranked Las Vegas as the #2 fastest growing city in 2020, despite the global economic issues. With this ranking, Las Vegas moved six places up from last year, which is a significant improvement considering how challenging the previous year was for the real estate industry. Homes in Las Vegas are still selling quickly, which keeps buyers encouraged to make moves without hesitation. On top of that, buyers are competing over fewer options, meaning they are willing to make quick decisions to avoid losing an opportunity. Thus, most Las Vegas real estate properties receive multiple bids within the first few days of being on the market.
