Are Million-Dollar Homes Still Selling in Las Vegas?
New-home closings are down sharply across the Las Vegas Valley in 2026, but the top of the market is holding up. According to Home Builders Research, cited by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, builders are leaning into their more expensive production homes — and increasingly wellness-focused amenities — to keep the $1 million-plus segment moving even as overall volume slows.
How many $1 million-plus homes have sold in Las Vegas in 2026?
Home Builders Research counted 325 closings of $1 million or higher between January and June 2026 — 159 in the first quarter and 166 in the second — just nine shy of the 334 recorded in the first half of 2025, and well ahead of the 227 closings in the same period of 2024. To match 2025's full-year record of 773 sales, builders will need to pick up the pace in the second half of the year; 2024's full-year total was 535.
Which builders and communities are selling the most $1 million-plus homes?
Toll Brothers and Pulte Group led the first half of 2026, with 65 and 54 closings respectively. Most of that activity is concentrated in Summerlin:
- Ascension (a Toll Brothers/Pulte joint project between the Summit Club and Mesa Ridge): 32 Toll Brothers sales up to $3 million-plus, and 23 Pulte sales up to $3.6 million.
- Brantley (Pulte, opened January 2026): 22 sales ranging from the high $800,000s to a $1.9 million high, making it the third best-selling subdivision valley-wide in 2026 — unusual for a community with prices this high.
- Carlisle Ridge (Tri Pointe, opened fall 2025): 19 of the builder's 35 closings, priced $1.5 million to $2.4 million.
- Ashland at Summerlin (Taylor Morrison): 21 closings, topping out at $2.2 million.
Outside Summerlin, Sekisui House had 33 closings led by Salerno Summit at Lake Las Vegas in Henderson (up to $1.66 million), and Lennar had 45 closings spread across the Estates at Ann, Estates at El Capitan, Estates at Grand Canyon and The Henry, topping out at $1.37 million.
What's the most expensive new home sold in Las Vegas this year?
The priciest sale on record so far in 2026 was a $22.5 million custom home in The Summit Club in Summerlin, built by Robert Elliott Custom Homes. A second Summit Club custom home sold for $13.15 million. At the builder level, Blue Heron had two MacDonald Highlands sales at $13 million and $10.5 million, and Gilberti Construction sold an $8.9 million MacDonald Highlands home.
Why are builders adding wellness features to new luxury communities?
Taylor Morrison's Esplanade at Red Rock in Summerlin — about 400 units, with base prices from roughly $700,000 up to $15.7 million — is being marketed as a wellness-first community, with a "longevity lounge," red-light saunas, cold plunges, sleep-optimization suites and an AI-powered health tracking tool. Taylor Morrison's Cammie Longenecker described the goal as making homeowners "feel like they are on vacation every day of their lives" rather than just living in an HOA. It's an early signal of where the builders think luxury buyers' priorities are headed next in this market.
What does this mean for Las Vegas luxury buyers and sellers?
In my 15+ years working with buyers and sellers across the valley, I've seen this pattern before: when overall volume slows, the luxury segment doesn't necessarily slow with it — it often just concentrates into fewer, better-positioned communities. Right now that's Summerlin's newest master-planned pockets. Buyers who wait for a broad luxury pullback in this market are often surprised to find the best new-construction lots and floor plans are already spoken for in the communities builders are prioritizing.
One nuance worth knowing if you're reading builder sales data yourself: true custom-home purchases, where a buyer buys the land and hires their own builder, show up in Clark County public records as land sales, not home sales. That's why figures like the Summit Club's $22.5 million and $13.15 million sales get reported separately from production-builder totals — they're tracked differently, and sellers comparing "sale prices" across the segment need to know they're not always comparing the same kind of transaction.

Why are new luxury communities focusing on wellness amenities?
Builders like Taylor Morrison are betting that wellness features — recovery suites, biohacking-focused lounges, health-tracking technology — are the next differentiator for luxury buyers, especially as overall new-home volume slows.
Is now a good time to buy or sell a luxury home in Las Vegas?
Sales are holding roughly steady year-over-year, giving sellers real negotiating strength, while buyers have more new-construction choice than the "record highs" headlines suggest. Talk to a specialist about your specific budget and target community.
What's the difference between a custom home sale and a builder home sale in these figures?
A true custom home — where the buyer purchases the land and hires their own builder — is recorded in Clark County public records as a land sale, not a home sale, which is why the priciest custom sales are tracked separately from production-builder totals.
