Nevada's Housing Crisis: Beyond California's Influence

James Watts, a third generation Las Vegan, and his partner, Lauren Tuvell, just fulfilled a dream that currently might feel out of reach for many long-time Nevada residents. They bought a house. But their purchase was hard-fought. Watts said they would tour a house, only to learn that somebody had already put an offer on it without ever having even seen it. “[We] definitely got our hopes up and then dashed many times because we would go to a house and be like, ‘Oh my God, it's perfect.’” he said. “Like, we're going to put an offer in and then hear from the realtor that three offers are already in above asking.”
