Why October Matters

According to Realtor.com’s 2025 Best Time to Buy report, the week of October 12–18 is forecasted as one of the strongest windows for buyers this year. More listings + less competition = better opportunities.

For buyers: this is the time to be pre-approved, ready to act, and watch for price reductions.
For sellers: capturing buyer attention in this window could make the difference between a quick sale and extended time on the market.

Neighborhoods to Watch

• MacDonald Highlands – Luxury hillside living with sweeping Strip and mountain views.

• West Henderson – Showing price resilience; attractive for families seeking newer builds.

• South Valley Ranch – More affordable entry point with good amenities.

• Water Street District – Ongoing redevelopment continues to attract younger buyers.

Tips for Buyers

• Get fully pre-approved before you shop.

• Look for price drops — motivated sellers are adjusting.

• Don’t ignore “as-is” listings — value may be hiding.

• Study comps carefully — some submarkets are softening faster than others.

Tips for Sellers

• Stage & market aggressively — photos, video, and digital ads matter more now.

• Price competitively — overpricing leads to stagnation in today’s market.

• Offer buyer incentives — credits, flexible closings, or rate buy-downs can set you apart.

• Leverage October’s sweet spot — especially mid-month when demand is forecasted to peak.

What’s Next?

• Mortgage rates remain the wild card — any shift can move demand dramatically.

• Local economy — growth in tourism, hospitality, and redevelopment projects may help keep demand steady.

• Forecast — Zillow expects U.S. prices to soften another 2% by year-end, which could influence late-year buying strategies.

Local Lifestyle Spotlight

October is one of the best months to live in Southern Nevada:

• Temperatures cool into the 70s and 80s.

• Events like the Henderson Hot Rod Days and community fall festivals bring out locals.

• Perfect time for outdoor home showings — pools, patios, and views show beautifully in this weather.
