“The demand has been consistent for the last year,” Coletti said. They were already going to put a lot of money down on their house or to them the rate is tolerable because they are coming out of California and have a lot of equity from the home they sold there.”Ĭoletti, who is currently building six homes in Ascaya and MacDonald Highlands ranging between $5 million to $18 million, is seeing buyers who are relocating to Nevada for tax benefits. “But in my range of $4 million and higher, I’m still finding many people willing to buy because they are not currently affected by interest rates. “In the million and above, the rate is affecting some people,” Coletti said. They don’t want to settle for something old.”ĭan Coletti, the owner of luxury custom builder Sun West Custom Homes, said the upper-end segment has remained solid over the past year unlike the lower price points of $300,000 to $800,000 that have been affected by mortgage rates that have more than doubled. And for us at SkyVu no one offers the views. “Inventory is lower and buyers at this price don’t want a used home that has to be updated and remodeled. “We still see the luxury market as being strong,” Geiser said. Geiser said sales have been aided by an elevated stock market while interest rates haven’t impacted that segment as much. Of the 102 home sites, 29 have been sold through the end of July. Those homes range in price from $2 million to more than $6 million. Several had one.Įrika Geiser, vice president of marketing for Christopher Homes, said the majority of their sales are at SkyVu, the luxury single-family home community in the MacDonald Highlands mountainside. Toll Brothers led the way in luxury closings at 62. Home Builders Research’s list of top builder luxury home sales does not include traditional custom home transactions in which a buyer purchases a lot and hires a builder to construct a home on it. James Stroh was the buyer, according to public records. 5 sale was for $5.1 million in MacDonald Highlands. Marilynn Mack was the buyer, according to public records.
4 sale was for $6 million for a bungalow in The Summit Club and constructed by Discovery Builders. The buyer was Oxbow Nevada Partners LLC, according to public records. 3 sale was for $6.4 million for a custom home built in Ascaya in Henderson. The buyer was Fintech Ventures LLC, according to public records. The second-highest price paid was $6.75 million for a home built in MacDonald Highlands in Henderson by Superior Builders. The buyer was Marc Barmazel and Discovery Builders Nevada was the seller, according to public records. The highest priced sale as tracked by Home Builders Research was a condo in the clubhouse at The Summit Club in Summerlin for $7.25 million. That was followed by 123 in 2019 115 in 2020 203 in 221 237 in 2022 and 267 this year, according to Home Builders Research. There were 87 luxury new-home sales in the first six months of 2018. Luxury sales have increased every year with the exception of 2020 at the start of the pandemic when the overall housing market stalled in the second quarter. Increasing construction costs and land prices push a greater number of homes over the $1 million threshold every year. Not all of the sales, however, are due to higher demand. The luxury segment is stronger than the overall new-home market because many buyers are less immune to higher interest rates that have more than doubled in the past year, according to local market watchers. Real estate experts said the demand for luxury homes has escalated as buyers have been unable to secure existing homes because of a lack of inventory or because the homes are outdated in style and don’t offer the amenities sought by today’s buyers. The list is for production homes and doesn’t include custom homes in which homeowners buy a lot and have a builder construct it for them and run in the tens of millions of dollars. There were 267 million luxury sales of new homes between January and June, topping the previous mark of 237 during the first six months of 2022, according to Las Vegas-based Home Builders Research. Aided by price increases and strong demand at the luxury level, Las Vegas recorded its highest number of new-home sales in excess of $1 million during the first six months of 2023.
