Las Vegas New Homes for Sale With a RE/MAX Agent on Your Side
Diana Valento, REALTOR® | RE/MAX Reliance | NV License S-0169007 | Call 702-508-8262
Looking at Las Vegas new homes for sale? You are not alone. Builders are busy all over the valley. You can find new construction homes in Las Vegas from the low $300,000s to well over $2 million. Some are move-in ready homes you can close on in weeks. Others you build from scratch and pick every finish.
I am Diana Valento, a REALTOR® with RE/MAX Reliance. I have helped buy and sell homes in Las Vegas for 16 years, with more than 500 homes sold. I am a member of Las Vegas REALTORS® and its MLS. I help buyers with new homes in Las Vegas and help sellers list their current home. This page shows where the new home communities are, who builds them, what costs to watch, and how to get the best deal.
Why Use a RE/MAX Agent to Buy a New Construction Home?
The friendly sales rep in the model home works for the builder. Their job is to get the best price and terms for the builder. That is fine, but it means no one in the room is looking out for you.
As your buyer's agent, I work for you. Here is what I do:
- Compare builders, plans, lots, and prices across the valley.
- Read the builder contract with you. Builder contracts are written by the builder, not the state form most resale deals use.
- Push for builder deals, like closing cost help or design credits.
- Help you choose upgrades that add value and skip the ones that do not.
- Track the build, line up inspections, and walk the home with you before closing.
Who pays me? In most new home deals, the builder pays the buyer's agent. So in most cases you get your own agent at no added cost to you.
Get Up to 50% of My Commission Back on a New Home
When you buy a new build home with me, I can give you up to 50% of my commission as a rebate. You can use it toward closing costs or other costs as allowed. The rebate must be allowed by your lender and the builder. In Nevada, rebates are allowed when agreed in writing and shown on the closing statement.
See how it works and the rules on my Las Vegas new home rebate page.
Stop: Register Your Agent on Your First Builder Visit
This is the most important rule in new home buying. Most builders will only work with your agent if you name them on your very first visit, call, or online sign-up. If you walk into a model home alone and fill out the guest card, the builder may say you came on your own. Then you may lose your agent and your rebate.
Before you visit any model home, call me at 702-508-8262. I can come with you, or I can call the builder first and register you.

Builder "from" prices leave out lot premiums and upgrades, so most buyers pay more than the starting price. Call me for the current price sheet on any community.

Move-In Ready Homes vs. Building From Scratch
Move-in ready homes (also called quick move-in homes) are built or almost done. You can often close in 30 to 60 days. You see what you get. Builders often give their best deals on these homes to sell them fast. The catch is you cannot pick the lot or finishes.
Building from scratch lets you pick the lot, floor plan, and finishes. It often takes 6 to 12 months. Prices can go up while you wait, and upgrades add up fast.
See today's list of new construction move-in ready homes.
Costs to Know Before You Buy a New Home
- HOA dues. Most new home communities have one HOA, and some have two (a master HOA and a sub-HOA).
- SID or LID. Some areas have a special tax that paid for roads, water, or sewer. It is billed on top of your property tax and can last many years.
- Upgrades. The model home is full of upgrades. The base price is not what you see. Set a budget before you visit the design center.
- Lot premiums. Corner lots, big lots, and view lots cost more.
- Builder lender deals. Builders often offer rate buydowns or closing cost help. Some of these deals may require you to use the builder's own lender. You do not have to use the builder's lender to get my rebate. Get the offers in writing and compare.
- Window coverings, yard, and fridge. Some homes do not include them. Ask what comes with the home.

Las Vegas New Homes FAQ
Do I need an agent to buy a new home in Las Vegas?
No, but it helps. The sales rep at the model home works for the builder. A buyer's agent works for you. In most new home deals the builder pays the agent, so it often costs you nothing extra.
Who pays the agent on new construction?
In most cases the builder pays the buyer's agent fee. Diana Valento of RE/MAX Reliance can confirm how each builder handles it before you go.
Why do I have to register my agent on the first visit?
Most builders will only work with your agent if you name them on your first visit or call. If you visit alone and sign in, the builder may refuse your agent later. Call 702-508-8262 before you tour a model home.
Can I get a rebate when I buy a new home?
You may. Diana gives back up to 50% of her commission to the buyer. The rebate must be allowed by your lender and the builder. In Nevada, rebates are allowed when agreed in writing and shown on the closing statement.
Do I have to use the builder's lender?
Not for the rebate. But some builder deals, like rate buydowns or closing cost help, may only apply if you use the builder's lender. Compare both offers in writing before you pick.
What is a move-in ready home?
It is a new home that is built or close to done. You can often close in 30 to 60 days. Builders also call them quick move-in or spec homes.
How long does it take to build a new home in Las Vegas?
A home built from scratch often takes about 6 to 12 months. Time depends on the builder, the plan, and the permit and supply schedule.
What is an SID or LID in Las Vegas?
It is a special tax on some homes that paid for roads, water, or sewer in the area. It is billed on top of your property tax. Ask about it before you sign.
Are new homes in Las Vegas more expensive than resale homes?
Often yes, per square foot. But new homes may cost less to fix and run at first. They also come with a builder warranty. Compare the full monthly cost, not just the price.
Should I get a home inspection on a new build?
Yes. Get one before drywall if the builder allows it, and one before closing. Builders make mistakes too. An inspector can catch them while the builder must still fix them.
Where are the new home communities in Las Vegas?
Most are in Summerlin, Skye Canyon and the northwest, Henderson (Cadence, Inspirada, Lake Las Vegas), North Las Vegas, and the southwest valley.
Can I sell my current home and buy a new one at the same time?
Yes. Diana lists homes with RE/MAX for a 1% listing fee and can time your sale with your new home closing date.
