Las Vegas new homes are more energy efficient. It may be surprising to learn that new homes utilize half as much energy as homes built before 1980. Contributing to this are improved heating and cooling systems, better windows, and greater use of insulation.

Less maintenance is required for Las Vegas new homes than for older homes. Some of the advanced features in many new homes include siding and trim that never need painting and wood that is pressure treated to resist rot and insects.

Homes from the Las Vegas new homes list also have more amenities than most resale or existing homes. Appliances such as dishwashers and refrigerators and sometimes microwaves are included. Large mirrors and medicine cabinets are included in bathrooms. New homes usually have more electrical outlets and cable TV and extra telephone outlets.

Most homes from the Las Vegas new homes list are safer than existing homes because electrical systems are better sized for the heavier electricity demands of today’s consumers; thus there is less likelihood of fires. Many new homes have smoke detectors which are hard wired on every level. They may also have ground fault interrupters for bathrooms and kitchens to reduce the chance of fire or electrocution.

During 2005, approximately 50% of homes on the Las Vegas new homes list were sold within 30 days of being on the market. This is down from the record 82 percent being sold within 30 days during the spring of 2004. The growth in new home prices has slowed down from the record-breaking appreciation rates during 2004.
