Las Vegas Homes By Leslie Reports 5% Increase In Rental Prices In Last Six Months
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) April 24, 2015 -- Las Vegas real estate website and blog Las Vegas Homes By Leslie reported an increase in rental prices of 5% during the last six months of 2014. If rental prices continue to increase at the current pace, rent will have increased 10%.
“Homeownership is the lowest it’s been since 1995. That means there are more renters out there, which increases demand, which results in rental price increases. It’s simple supply and demand. Increased demand means prices go up. That’s a major concern for renters because they are getting priced out of units they could once afford,” said Las Vegas Realtor Leslie Hoke.
“A 10% increase far outpaces wage increases, which are typically 3% at best. And many people working in Las Vegas see no wage increase at all,” said Hoke, who recently posted a blog about rental increases on her Las Vegas real estate website.
“It’s always been said that renting is cheaper than buying a home in Las Vegas. That narrative is shifting. For many, it is now cheaper to own a home compared to renting. With interest rates at less than 4% and home and condo prices in Las Vegas low, it’s making sense for people to buy now and stop worrying about rising rent prices,” Hoke said.
