Las Vegas' housing market was in bleak shape a decade ago. Property values had plunged, banks had foreclosed on homes throughout Southern Nevada, and builders' sales had evaporated. Today? Prices have never been higher.

Fueled by cheap money, Las Vegas is in a a prolonged buying boom, marked over the past year or so by rapid sales, owners selling above their asking price, builder putting buyers on waiting lists and fast-rising prices that reach new all-time highs practically every month.
