The Las Vegas Valley has three master-planned communities on the top 10 list of Robert Charles Lesser & Co., LLC, better known as RCLCO, of best-selling master-planned communities across the country. Even during the pandemic, the real estate market saw an increase in sales.
Summerlin, the master-plan from the Howard Hughes Corp., came in number at number 3 in the nation. Last year, they held the same position. Kevin Orrock, president of the Las Vegas divisions for the Howard Hughes Corp, said that the first six month of 2020 saw slow sales due to the shutdown of the economy at that time. Then the market picked up in a big way the second half of the year. The sales in Summerlin ended up as the best year since the Great recession.
Orrock stated “I think 2021 is going to be a good year for Las Vegas and homebuilders on the residential side.” Summerlin’s sustained performance through 2020 is due in large part that master-planned communities have proven that they hold their value in times of crisis.
This year there was a new entry to the top 50 list. Valley Vista, a project of DR Horton, that is located in North Las Vegas. Valley Vista opened in 2018 and came in at number 6 on the RCLCO list. They had 1,046 sales in 2020, a very impressive number of sales. This shows that homebuyers are interested in more affordable housing.
Cadence in Henderson came in at number 10 in the nation. In 2019, Cadence was number 9. They had 849 sales in 2020.
Inspirada was on the list at number 32 and Skye Canyon located in the northwest section of Las Vegas went down from 2019 even though they had 3 percent higher sales in 2020. They dropped to 46, still making the list of 50.
