 <title>Home sales plummet in 2007</title>
 <link>http://www.lvrealty.net/news/home-sales-down-2007</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.lvrealty.net/files/u3/homesales2007.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;home sales 2007&quot; title=&quot;home sales 2007&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;374&quot; align=&quot;middle&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Overall, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lvrealty.net/las-vegas/marketstatistics/2007&quot; title=&quot;home sales 2007&quot;&gt;2007 had the lowest home sales&lt;/a&gt; in Las Vegas since 1997. According to the RJ, a total of 43,255 homes were sold last year. At the end of the year, the median new home price dropped 20.1% to $273,359 from December of 2006, according to SalesTraq. Existing home median prices fell as well to $253,000 a 11.2% drop.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Will prices continue to drop? In some areas, prices haven&amp;#39;t dipped that much at all over the course of last year. Location and amenities had a lot to do with homes retaining their value, although new communities are still seeing some increased incentives to buy----some with pricing reductions, others will free extras.&lt;/p&gt;
