3BR Median Rent: 6-Month Rolling Average
Seasonal Variations
Las Vegas rental demand follows predictable seasonal patterns. Understanding these helps optimize lease timing:
- Peak Season (May-August): Families relocating for school year, highest demand, rents 5-8% above average
- Shoulder Season (September-October, February-April): Moderate demand, market-rate rents
- Slow Season (November-January): Holiday period, lower demand, may require rent concessions of 3-5%
For investors, timing your property availability for May-August maximizes rent achievement and minimizes vacancy. If possible, schedule tenant move-out for April to capture peak season demand.

How to Maximize Your Rental Income

- Highlight Amenities: Emphasize included gym, pool, and events in listings. Many tenants don't realize HOA-covered amenities save them $80-120/month.
- Flexible Lease Terms: Offering 6-month or 18-month lease options can attract corporate relocations willing to pay 10-15% premiums.
- Pet-Friendly: Allowing pets (with appropriate deposits/fees) opens your property to 65%+ of renters and justifies $50-75/month pet rent.
