Henderson guide

By Nate Smith, REALTOR®, RECN Group, eXp Realty · License BS.0144709 · Updated September 2026 · 6 min read

Henderson’s median home price depends on which number you mean. Redfin puts the three month median sale price at about $495,422 through August 2026, Zillow’s typical home value estimate runs near $479,263, and recorded sales across six master plans range from $382,499 to $636,997. Each measures something different.

01

Southfork’s $636,997 against South Valley Ranch’s $382,499

The median recorded sale in Southfork is $636,997 across 16 sales, per Clark County Assessor records, newest dated August 26, 2026. In South Valley Ranch, the median is $382,499. Henderson’s citywide median sale price sits between those two figures, about $495K for the three months ending August 2026, according to Redfin, checked September 24, 2026. A master plan is a planned community with its own name, and recorded sales vary widely from one to the next, so the citywide number can mask what a specific neighborhood is doing.

02

Henderson home values move three ways

Zillow’s typical Henderson home value fell 2.4% from a year earlier in August 2026. The wider Las Vegas-Henderson metro rose 2.8% year over year in 2026 Q2, according to the FHFA House Price Index. Redfin’s median sale price, drawn from actual closings, stayed close to flat, up 0.1% over the three months ending August 2026.

Zillow estimates what a typical home is worth, including homes that never sold, using its own methodology. FHFA’s all-transactions index adds appraisal data, including refinance appraisals from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to repeat-sales purchase data across the metro. Different areas and different methods can move these three numbers in different directions at once.

Homes are also taking longer to sell. Redfin reported Henderson homes selling after 58 days on the market on average, up from 51 days a year earlier. Its sale-to-list ratio was 98.1%, according to Redfin.

03

Fewer building permits this year, more households in 2022 and 2023

Henderson issued fewer building permits this year. In the latest IRS data, for the 2022 and 2023 tax filing years, more households moved to Clark County than left:

• Single-family building permits: 1,484 this year through August, down from 2,016 in the same months last year, per the U.S. Census Bureau
• Net household migration into Clark County (2022 to 2023 IRS filing data): 52,618 arrived, 45,601 left, a net gain of 7,017 households, according to IRS Statistics of Income
• Typical Henderson rent: about $1,806 a month in August 2026, per the Zillow Observed Rent Index

Fewer permits can mean fewer brand-new homes competing with resales. The IRS migration data is older than the other figures on this page. If you’re weighing selling against leasing, rent is the figure to compare.

Six master plans, six different Henderson median home prices

Here are all six master plans in our September 2026 Clark County Assessor pull:

Cornerstone’s newest sale in this pull was March 26, 2026.

These six plans are not the whole city, and several have small samples, so treat each median as a snapshot. For the higher end of the market, see our guide to Henderson luxury homes.

05

Home value estimate or recorded sale price

Zillow puts a typical home value near $479,263. The county’s recorded sales, grouped by master plan, range from South Valley Ranch’s $382,499 to Southfork’s $636,997. A recorded sale is what one buyer paid for one house. A value index like Zillow’s is an estimate for a typical home, built from Zestimates rather than recorded sale prices. None of these numbers is wrong. Compare the same source month to month rather than mixing sources.

Your own value comes from recent sales of homes like yours: same area, similar size, similar condition and lot. Holding costs matter too, so check the Henderson property tax rate before you price or plan a move.

06

If you’re selling in the Henderson housing market, days on market matter more

Redfin reported Henderson homes selling after 58 days on the market on average in the three months ending August 2026, up from 51 days a year earlier. Sale prices stayed close to flat over the same stretch. A price built from recent sales in your own master plan gives you a better starting point than a citywide index. Plan for time on market close to that 58-day average, and prepare the home before it lists.

07

The lowest new-build price we found: $390,990 at Cadence

The lowest starting price on Lennar’s Cadence page, the one builder page in our check, was $390,990 as listed on September 24, 2026.

What is the average home price in Henderson NV?

The recorded-sale medians and Zillow’s typical value on this page are medians or estimated typical values, not averages. A median is the middle value in a set of sales, so one expensive sale does not pull it the way it would an average. Redfin’s roughly $495K is a median sale price for the three months ending August 2026, and Zillow’s roughly $479,263 is a typical, estimated value, not an average.
