The absorption rate has halted its increase and is remaining steady for the short term. This signals that demand/supply realities are not changing significantly. It is any ones guess if this trend will continue throughout 2011 and/or into 2012.
It is still a great time for Nevada home buyers to purchase. Home prices are low and inventory is high. Interest rates are still low and Nevada has many first time home buyer mortgage programs to choose from.
