Earthquakes Are Rattling The State of Nevada

It does seem odd, but believe it or not, evidently earthquakes are rattling the state of Nevada and we don't even realize it! We have experienced a bit of a shake, rattle and roll in the past as for quakes in California. But according to a report from Channel 3, over the past couple of days, we've had over 30 earthquakes!

Who knew? Who even felt them? Well, just because we don't feel a bit of movement, doesn't mean we don't have them. According to the report, experts up north are saying that our state has been subject to an "earthquake swarm". Defined in the report as "...a sequence of small to moderate magnitude earthquakes happening around the same time."

Again, when people thing or even talk about earthquakes, Nevada is very rarely in the conversation. But when you look closer at the data, we are clearly a state that rocks...maybe not as much as others, but we do. Hey, if we can keep the movement to a minimum that's okay with us!

And with all this new information, one is reminded that you should have a plan in place should a huge quake happens. Knowing where to go and meet if you have to evacuate. Have a go bag together with essentials, secure things that might indeed fall if shook and more.

All in all, just be prepared. One of the most felt tremors as a result of a quake was back in 1994. Although the epicenter was in Northridge, Las Vegas felt it early that morning. Most of us were like, "what the hell is going on here!"

The Mike & Carla Morning Show has been in Las Vegas for close to four decades and still remembers. Water splashing around in the pools, things falling off walls. It was, for a lot of people, their first experience. As slight as it was, enough of an experience to say, "so that's what that's like?".

So whatever you do, brace yourself and get ready...Nevada is not just a beautiful state with all sorts of landscapes! WE ARE ROCKIN!

If you have lived in Southern Nevada for any length of time, you know how fast this area has grown over the past three decades. Apparently, we’re still growing yet, as more and more people move here. Therefore, the demand for new houses continues, even after the COVID-19 pandemic slowed growth. Now, in a recent study, we find that Nevada still ranks in the top seven for states with the most new homes built since 2010.

The folks at RubyHome Luxury Real Estate recently began digging into the data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. Specifically, they are looking at the 2022 American Community Survey for the purposes of this study. In general, the numbers show that there are over 131 million occupied households in the U.S. Of those, more than 15.7 million houses were built since 2010.

Furthermore, those figures identify the fact that close to 12% of all occupied houses in our nation are newly built homes between 2010 and 2022. According to information provided by RubyHome.com, 23 states across the country surpassed that national average of 12% for new-build homes. In fact, some states report that one in five occupied houses have been constructed since 2010.

Overall, southern, and western states seem to enjoy the most newly built homes since 2010. Five of the top 10 states in this study are part of the southwest and mountain west regions. We can safely say that Nevada is part of this region. Moreover, three states in the top 10 are part of the southeast region. One other state is on the mid-Atlantic coast. Finally, there is only one state from the Midwest to make the top 10.

It may be surprising to learn that states with very large populations such as New York, Illinois, and Michigan saw very little new home construction in the period of 2010 to 2022. Furthermore, states in the northeast and New England rank near the bottom in new homes built during this period. As a matter of fact, the New England states of “Rhode Island and Connecticut have the lowest rate of new-build properties in America.”

So, let’s see which states rank in the top seven for new homes built since 2010.

The "Silver State" ranks seventh in the nation when it comes to new home construction since 2010. According to the figures provided by RubyHome.com, 200,603 new homes were built in Nevada between 2010-2022. That accounts for over 16% "of the total occupied housing supply statewide."

North Carolina ranks sixth in the U.S.A. in this survey of new homes built. Since 2010, over 780,000 new houses have been constructed in that state, accounting for over 18% of the total number of houses in the "Tarheel State."

We don't have to go very far from North Carolina to find the state which ranks fifth in this study. South Carolina takes that spot with over 420,000 new homes constructed between 2010-2022. That accounts for 19.75% of the total single-family homes in the "Palmetto State."

We head back towards our region of the country for the state placing fourth in this survey by RubyHome.com. Our neighbors to the north in Idaho have also seen tremendous growth in new home construction over the past decade. Many people from northern California have been moving there. Idahoans have seen over 143,000 new homes built there between 2010-2022. That's over 20% of the total homes in the "Potato State."

We remain in the mountain west region of America for the state placing third in this study. Our eastern neighbors in Utah have seen over 233,000 new homes built since 2010. That accounts for 20.65% of the total single-family homes in the "Beehive State."

North Dakota is the only state in the Midwest region of the U.S.A. to make the top 10 in this study according to RubyHome.com. Per the information in their study, they fell just short of the top spot for new homes built since 2010 based on percentages. Between 2010-2022, over 68,000 new homes were constructed in the "Peace Garden State." That makes up 20.74% of the total number of homes in North Dakota.

Topping the list in this study is the great state of Texas. As they say, "everything's bigger in Texas," so why wouldn't they take the #1 position? In fact, according to RubyHome.com, residents of the "Lone Star State" "are more likely to live in a new, modern property than any other state across the country." Since 2010, close to 2.5 million new homes were constructed in Texas, making up 22.5% of all homes in the state.
