Why do so many people from California buy homes in Las Vegas?
Here's what I hear most often.
No state income tax in Nevada. That alone saves some buyers $5,000 to $30,000 a year depending on income.
Their dollar goes further. A $500k budget in Las Vegas gets you a lot more home than $500k in LA or the Bay Area.
The commute is gone. Remote work made this possible for thousands of families.
Las Vegas is not the city people think it is (The Strip). Most buyers end up in Henderson, Summerlin, or North Las Vegas. Suburbs. Good schools. Quiet neighborhoods.
If you're thinking about making the move, I work with relocating buyers all the time. Feel free to reach out. I'll give you an honest picture of what it's like out here.
