The "R" Word | www.lvrj.com

The Las Vegas housing industry started the New Year with dismal sales volume, declining inventory and median prices that appear to be in the process of stabilizing.  In view of January’s housing statistics, this year may, in fact, have started with a good news/bad news scenario. The bad news came on two levels: (1) a decline in sales volume for all housing product types; and (2) a record foreclosure level.  The good news also came on two levels: (1) Inventory in every category continues to decline; and (2) prices appear to be in the process of stabilization. In effect, January may be the beginning of the end of the housing slump here.
