Nevada Houses 2nd Most Expensive In U.S.A. By 2030

Author Larry Martino
A realtor sign reading "Sold" in front of a desert-landscaped house. Nevada house prices are expected to be the second most expensive in the U.S. by 2030.

A recent survey reveals that experts believe Nevada houses will be the second most expensive in the U.S. by 2030. That prediction is based on home prices when compared to average income.

Survey Reveals Nevada Houses Becoming Unaffordable For Average Incomes

If you’ve been looking to purchase a home here in the Las Vegas area, then you know that Nevada houses are getting more expensive than ever. In fact, experts say only houses in Hawaii will be more expensive by 2030.

The data collection experts at SmartSurvey.com first took a look at Zillow data from 2012 through 2022 to determine average house prices for each state.

Then, they checked out stats from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for average incomes in each state.

After collecting that information, they “did the math” to determine what the projected average house prices and average incomes would be in 2030.

What they found was that Nevada houses would be very difficult for someone with an average income to afford. By 2030, they figure Nevada’s average personal income would be $48,369.

However, the average price of buying a Nevada house would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.04 million bucks! That places the Silver State second in their rankings.

If you think that’s expensive, imagine trying to buy a house in Hawaii. The average home price in the Aloha State in 2030 is expected to hover around $1.4 million dollars. The average personal income that year is projected at $61,221.

How Nevada House Prices Will Compare With Other States

It seems more and more people are moving out west. Our neighboring states all seem to land in the top 10 most expensive list when it comes to house prices compared to incomes.

California ranks third in this SmartSurvey.com report. But wait, there’s more! Utah (#4), Idaho (#5), Montana (#6), Colorado (#7), Oregon (#8), and Arizona (#10) finish filling all but one position in the top 10.

Florida is the only state on the east coast or in the Midwest to rank in the top 10, placing at number nine.

So, where can we move if we want affordable house prices? Apparently, it’s the Midwest. All the positions in the top five least expensive house prices when compared to average incomes are in the central region of the U.S.

Specifically, SmartSurvey.com predicts Illinois will have the most affordable house prices. Other midwestern states in the top five include Ohio (#2), Pennsylvania (#3), Kansas (#4), and Iowa (#5).

In summary, this survey shows that Nevada house prices will increase five times more than our average incomes by 2030. That’s good news if you already own a home here in the Las Vegas valley. Not so good if you’re looking to buy in the near future.

Southern Nevada's Most Expensive Neighborhoods

I may never be able to afford to live in one of these beautiful, but expensive neighborhoods, but it’s nice to dream!

The fact that Las Vegas and Henderson are surrounded by hills and mountains gives community planners some very good areas on which to build large estate homes and mansions. The views of our city and the world famous Las Vegas Strip from a luxury home perched atop one of those high desert regions can cost upwards of $1 million dollars. A mansion in one of those gated, guarded, luxury communities, can cost up to $20 million bucks!

We are starting to see more and more famous celebrities move to the Las Vegas Valley. And now that we have two major league sports teams that call Las Vegas home, we are seeing those Las Vegas Raiders and Vegas Golden Knights players purchase estate homes in some of the expensive neighborhoods you’ll see when you scroll down.

Our city has been home to great entertainers throughout its history. Now that most of the major casinos offer multi-million dollar contracts to performers for residency shows, those entertainers would surely want to live in a luxury home in one of these expensive neighborhoods.

Then, of course, there are the gaming executives who are pulling down those big bonuses. They are certainly rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous professional athletes, celebrities, and entertainers in these exclusive communities.

So what do these expensive neighborhoods, scattered around Las Vegas and Henderson, have in common? They are all guard-gated, they offer custom-built homes, and most are situated on or near beautiful golf courses. Not a bad lifestyle if you can afford it. Heck, I can’t even afford to golf on one of those luxury courses. I’m not complaining. I’m just sayin’…
