For fifteen years, the standing rule in Las Vegas real estate has been that Summerlin doesn't negotiate — the master plan carried a waitlist's confidence, and its sellers priced accordingly. The August 2026 board says the rule has lapsed: the Summerlin corridor now carries the highest price-cut share in the entire valley.
Every number here comes from a complete sweep our team ran on August 23, 2026 — all 1,673 active listings across the seven Summerlin-area ZIP codes (89134, 89135, 89138, 89144, 89145, 89129, 89149), examined listing by listing, plus each of the 240 sales that closed there in July. Counted, not sampled, and worth reading closely whether you own here or want to.
The Summerlin area in August 2026: 1,673 active listings and 47.5% of them — the valley's highest share — carrying at least one price cut, at a $25,000 median reduction. July's 322 closings (settled September 15) ran a $527,500 median at $287 per square foot, with 66.8% settling below asking and a median sale at 98.2% of list. Homes priced to comps still move in 27 days; the tier above $900,000 is where the correction concentrates.
Restated September 15, 2026. The July closing figures in this report were counted on August 23, when about 70% of July's sales had posted to the MLS feed; closings keep posting for five to six weeks after a month ends. Fully posted, July shows 322 closings, not the 240 this report originally counted, at a $527,500 median ($580,000 single-family), 98.2% of list, 66.8% below asking, $287 per square foot and a 27-day median clock. The medians moved within a few percent and the conclusions stand; the active-listing figures, counted the same day, are unaffected. The Direct Answer and snapshot table above carry the settled figures; percentages elsewhere in the body reflect the August 23 count. The September 2026 edition of this report carries the settled month in full, and this series now waits for a month to settle before counting it.
- 47.5% of 1,673 active listings have cut price — the highest share of any valley submarket.
- Median cut: $25,000 — also the valley's largest, befitting the price points.
- July median sale $525,000 at $286 per square foot; 69% closed below asking.
- 27-day median market time — fast when priced right, glacial above $900,000 when not.
- Median active ask is $639,000 against a $525,000 closing median: the correction gap, quantified.
What Are the Summerlin Numbers for August 2026?
| Metric | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Active listings | 1,673 | Across 89134/35/38/44/45/29/49 |
| Listings with a price cut | 47.5% | Valley's highest — LV proper is 43% |
| Median price cut | $25,000 | Valley's largest |
| Median active list price | $639,000 | The premium corridor's ask |
| July closings | 322 (240 posted by Aug 23) | GLVAR records, area ZIPs |
| July median sale | $525,000 | All property types |
| Median sale-to-list | 98.2% | Deepest table concession in the valley |
| Sold below list | 69% | vs 12% above |
| Median price per square foot | $286 | $34 above Las Vegas proper |
| Median days on market | 27 | For homes that closed |
The single most Summerlin number on the board: $639,000 asked, $525,000 closed. That $114,000 spread is partly mix — the unsold premium tier props up the ask while entry villages do the closing — but it is the widest ask-to-close gap in the valley, and it is the correction in one line.
A note on windows before the rest of the report leans on these figures. The active board, its 47.5% cut share, and the $639,000 asking median are as of the August 23, 2026 sweep; every closing statistic — the $525,000 median, $286 a foot, 98.2% of list, 27 days — comes from the 240 sales recorded in July 2026. Kept apart, the two windows say something the blended headline cannot: the asking board sits roughly 22% above where the corridor actually clears. In a market where a large share of listings has already cut once, the median ask still being that far above the median closing means the cuts so far have been installments, not settlements. A buyer who negotiates from the asking board rather than from July's closings starts a fifth too high before the first counter; a seller who prices to the asking board is pricing to the tier that is not selling.
Why Does Summerlin Have the Valley's Highest Price-Cut Share?
Three forces stacked, and none of them is panic.
First, the premium tier overshot furthest. The villages that ran hardest in 2021–2022 — The Ridges, The Cliffs, Reverence, the custom corridors — had the most altitude to give back. According to Las Vegas REALTORS, luxury segments across the metro have led this year's price reductions, and Summerlin owns most of the metro's luxury.
Second, new-village competition is relentless. Howard Hughes keeps delivering — Kestrel, Redpoint, the Grand Park spine — and every builder release reprices the resale market around it. A 2019 resale in Stonebridge asking $850,000 is competing with a brand-new Toll Brothers release two miles west offering incentive financing. According to the Howard Hughes Corporation, Summerlin remains among the nation's top-selling master plans — which is excellent for the brand and merciless for resale pricing.
Third, the buyer pool above $900,000 got patient. At 6.65% rates (Freddie Mac PMMS, August 21), the move-up buyer who stretches into the premium tier is scarcer, unhurried, and often watching three houses at once. Sellers with 2022 anchors meet buyers with 2026 patience, and the $25,000 cut is where they meet.
The ZIP-level data later in this report shows where those three forces land on the map. In the 90 days ending September 6, 2026, the two premium ZIPs carried the corridor's widest gaps between asking and closing — 89135 (The Ridges, Red Rock Country Club, The Paseos) at an $887,000 median ask against an $825,000 median closing, and 89138 (Summerlin West) at $799,450 against $750,000 — according to our analysis of Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data via Repliers. Those $62,000 and $49,450 spreads are the $25,000 cuts, two at a time.
What Did Summerlin Homes Actually Sell For in July?
The 240 July closings, one by one:
- Median sale: $525,000 — remember this covers the full area, condos and starter villages included; single-family in the core villages trades meaningfully higher.
- $286 per square foot — the valley's premium bench, $34 above Las Vegas proper and $29 above Henderson. A 2,400-square-foot Paseos home benches at $686,000; the distance between that and the ask is the negotiation.
- 98.2% median sale-to-list — the deepest at-table concession of any valley submarket. Summerlin sellers give roughly 1.8% at signing, on top of whatever cuts came before.
- 69% below list, 12% above — the most buyer-tilted ratio in the valley. The 12% over-ask sales are almost entirely turnkey homes in entry villages priced under $550,000.
- 27-day median market time — deceptive and instructive at once: correctly-priced Summerlin still sells faster than Henderson, because demand for the master plan never left. The homes that linger aren't waiting for buyers; they're waiting for their own price.
The bench becomes a price test with one multiplication, and in Summerlin the multiplication is worth doing before every showing. At July's $286 a foot, a 1,600-square-foot townhome in an entry village benches at about $457,600, a 2,400-square-foot Paseos two-story at roughly $686,400, and a 3,200-square-foot Stonebridge home near $915,200 — before the adjustments for view corridor, lot, and finish level that, in our experience, move a specific Summerlin house 5–15% to either side of the bench, a wider band than Henderson's because the view premium here is real money. The 19% of July's closings that settled exactly at list are the sellers who opened at the comp and got it; they are the quiet evidence that the bench is settled money, not an average of hopes, and they are the group a seller should picture when deciding where to open.
How Do the Village Tiers Compare Right Now?
Summerlin is a ladder of villages, and August treats each rung differently:
| Dimension | Entry villages (to $600K) | Core family villages ($600K–$900K) | Premium ($900K–$2M) | Ultra-luxury ($2M+) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Examples | Older 89134/89145, condos, Affinity | Paseos, Stonebridge, Redpoint | Reverence, Mesa Ridge, The Cliffs | The Ridges, Summit Club custom |
| August speed | Fast — 12% over-ask lives here | Steady when bench-priced | Slow — the correction's center | Patient capital only |
| Cut-share behavior | Below area average | Near average | Well above — $40K+ cuts common | Price discovery, not cuts |
| Buyer leverage | Minimal | Moderate | Strong | Total |
The practical translation: "Summerlin is correcting" is true and useless at the same time. Entry-village sellers are still fielding multiple offers; Reverence sellers are funding buydowns. The tier decides everything.
The tier ladder is also, roughly, a ZIP ladder, which makes it easier to test against the record. In the 90 days ending September 6, 2026, according to our analysis of Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data via Repliers, 89145 (Peccole Ranch, Queensridge, and the corridor's east edge) closed at a $406,000 median in 27 days and 89134 (Sun City Summerlin and the older north villages) at $482,500 in 33 — the entry rungs. 89144 (The Trails and The Hills South) closed at $507,500 in 30 days, the core-family rung. And the two premium ZIPs, 89135 and 89138, closed at $825,000 and $750,000 in 36 and 38 days — the slowest clocks in the corridor and the only ones above the area median. Same master plan, and the closing clock lengthens by more than a week as you climb from the bottom rung to the top. That is the correction's shape in four numbers.
Is the Summerlin Premium Breaking?
No — it's re-rating. The $286-a-foot bench still stands $34 above the city, the 27-day clock still beats Henderson's 35, and demand for the master plan's fundamentals — Red Rock adjacency, the trail system, the school clusters, two decades of Howard Hughes build quality — hasn't moved. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the metro keeps adding the households that feed it.
What's re-rating is the spread — how much above the bench a given house can claim. In 2022 the answer was "whatever you ask." In August 2026 the answer is "prove it": upgrades, lot, view corridor, or watch the market subtract $25,000 at a time until the claim matches the evidence. That's not a premium breaking. That's a premium being audited.
The cleanest test of "breaking versus re-rating" is whether the entry and core rungs are weakening too, and the 90-day ZIP record says they are not: 89145 and 89144 closed in 27 and 30 days, faster than the corridor's July median, while the premium ZIPs ran 36 to 38. If the premium itself were failing, the erosion would show up first where the buyers are most price-sensitive — the entry villages — and instead that is where the 12% over-ask sales live. What is being audited is the top of the ladder's claim to a multiple over the bench, not the bench. For an owner in a core village, that distinction is the difference between "my equity is at risk" and "my neighbor's asking price was"; for a buyer, it is the reason to treat the premium tier as negotiable and the entry tier as competitive, in the same month, in the same master plan.
What Should Summerlin Buyers Do With This Market?
This is the best Summerlin entry window since 2019, if you work it by tier:
- In entry villages, behave like it's still 2021 — clean offers, fast decisions, no lowballs. That 12%-over-ask slice is real and it lives here.
- From $900,000 up, run the aged-listing play: 45-plus days on market plus a prior cut equals a seller doing price discovery in public. Offers 4–6% under the reduced ask are getting countered, not refused.
- Bench everything at $286 a foot, then adjust by village — the Ridges carries a justified multiple; a dated 1990s section of 89134 doesn't.
- Price the HOA stack before you fall in love. Master association plus village sub-association plus (in gated villages) a third tier — $150 to $900-plus monthly depending on tier. Our Summerlin HOA guide maps it.
- Make the builders bid for you. New-village releases with incentive financing are the resale market's competition — walk both, and use each against the other. The new-construction inventory shows what the builders are offering this month.
- Pick the ZIP before the village. The 90-day closed medians in the table below run from $406,000 in 89145 to $825,000 in 89135 — a $419,000 spread inside one corridor. A buyer with a $600,000 ceiling is realistically shopping three ZIPs, and a buyer with a $1 million ceiling is shopping two; the Summerlin ZIP code guide maps each one to its villages so the first weekend of showings is spent in the right ones.
What Should Summerlin Sellers Do in September?
The market is auditing claims, so file an honest one:
- Price to your village's trailing 90 days — not to Summerlin's brand, which buyers now treat as a starting point rather than a justification.
- If you're in the premium tier, decide up front: price to the evidence now, or budget the $40,000 discovery process and the months it takes. July's data says there is no third option above $900,000.
- Sell what the builders can't: mature landscaping on a real lot, completed window treatments, no design-center gauntlet, no six-month wait — and a paid-down SID/LID where applicable.
- Stage against the light. Summerlin's buyer pool shops the Red Rock views and the golden-hour backyards; according to NAR's profile research, staged homes consistently outperform, and nowhere in the valley does presentation carry more premium than here.
Put numbers on the concession budget, because in Summerlin it scales with the tier. On the $525,000 area median, the 1.8% at-table concession is about $9,450; a listing that opens above the bench and takes the median $25,000 public cut before it draws an offer gives up that $25,000 plus the same $9,450 at the table, roughly $34,500 the correctly priced neighbor never paid. In the premium tier the same arithmetic runs four times larger: on a $1.2 million Reverence listing, 1.8% at the table is $21,600, the typical public cut is $40,000-plus, and the buydown request that follows an aged listing starts at $25,000 — call it $85,000 to $90,000 of concessions on a house that would have closed at the bench either way. September is the month to decide which of those two arithmetic problems you want to be in.
How Does Summerlin Compare to the Rest of the Valley in August?
Summerlin now leads the valley in three statistics at once — cut share (47.5%), median cut size ($25,000), and below-list share (69%) — while still holding the second-fastest median clock (27 days). No other submarket combines correction and velocity like that. Henderson is the stability contrast: lower cut share, stickier median, slower clock. Las Vegas proper sits between on every dial. And North Las Vegas is the mirror image — the affordability magnet closing at a 100% median sale-to-list in 18 days. A valley buyer's honest first question in August isn't "which house" — it's "which of these four markets fits my leverage."
The full August scoreboard, from the same-day sweeps across this series: Las Vegas proper carried 8,170 active listings on August 23 with 43% cut at a $19,901 median, and its 991 July closings ran a $430,000 all-types median at 98.8% of list with 59% below asking and a 29-day clock. Henderson carried 2,288 actives with 45.4% cut at a $20,000 median; its 334 July closings ran $480,000 at 98.9% with 60% below list in 35 days. North Las Vegas carried 985 actives with 39.3% cut at a $10,100 median — the valley's smallest — and its 173 closings ran $419,900 at a full 100% of list with 23% over ask in 18 days. Boulder City's 141 listings and twelve July closings at $425,000 and $325 a foot round out the set. Summerlin's $286 bench is second only to Boulder City's scarcity premium, and its 98.2% sale-to-list is the lowest of the five — the two facts that, together, define a premium market in negotiation. According to Las Vegas REALTORS, the association's monthly statistics blend every GLVAR closing in the metro into a single headline, which is why a Summerlin decision needs the corridor-level count: the valley median is made of four cities behaving four different ways, and Summerlin is the one correcting fastest at the top while still competing hardest at the bottom.
How Do the ZIP Codes Inside Summerlin Compare?
The corridor median blends a $406,000 ZIP with an $825,000 one, which is why it is a poor guide to any specific village. To separate them, we pulled each ZIP's active board and its closings for the 90 days ending September 6, 2026, according to our analysis of Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data via Repliers. All property types are included, and the window is a rolling 90 days rather than July alone, so read the rows against each other rather than against the July table above. The five ZIPs below are the master plan proper; the two adjacent northwest ZIPs that round out the seven-ZIP corridor are discussed after the table.
| ZIP | Villages | Active listings | Median ask | Closed (90 days) | Median closed | Median DOM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 89135 | The Ridges / Red Rock Country Club / The Paseos | 311 | $887,000 | 113 | $825,000 | 36 |
| 89138 | Summerlin West — Reverence, The Cliffs, Stonebridge, Redpoint | 366 | $799,450 | 119 | $750,000 | 38 |
| 89144 | The Trails / The Hills South | 143 | $648,000 | 48 | $507,500 | 30 |
| 89134 | Sun City Summerlin / The Hills / The Pueblo | 265 | $499,000 | 140 | $482,500 | 33 |
| 89145 | Peccole Ranch / Queensridge / east edge | 140 | $432,450 | 57 | $406,000 | 27 |
Three readings. First, the premium sits in exactly two ZIPs: 89135 and 89138 are the only rows above the corridor's $525,000 July median, and they carry the corridor's slowest clocks and widest ask-to-close gaps — $62,000 and $49,450 respectively. That is the correction described throughout this report, located on a map. Second, 89144 is the most instructive row for a seller: a $648,000 median ask against a $507,500 median closing is a $140,500 gap, the widest ratio in the master plan, and it is produced by a small active board (143 listings) whose top end has not yet met the buyers its bottom end is finding in 30 days. Third, 89134 is the volume engine — 140 closings in 90 days, the most of any ZIP — because Sun City Summerlin's single-story stock turns over on a retiree cadence that ignores rate cycles, and the ZIP's tight $16,500 gap between ask and close shows sellers there already price to the record. The two northwest ZIPs that complete the seven-ZIP corridor behave like the entry rungs: 89129 closed 101 sales at a $406,250 median in 27 days, and 89149 closed 102 at $461,500 in 23 days — the fastest clock in the whole corridor, on a $622,500 median ask that its closings sit $161,000 below. Including them in the corridor moderates the pure-Summerlin premium, which the methodology section explains; excluding them would overstate it. For a buyer, the table is a budget map; for a seller, it is the comp set already open on your buyer's phone.
What Does the Median Summerlin Home Cost Per Month?
According to the Freddie Mac PMMS, the thirty-year fixed sits at 6.65% as of August 21. The $525,000 area median, translated at that rate:
| Down payment | Loan amount | P&I / month | With a seller-funded buydown to 5.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10% ($52,500) | $472,500 | $3,033 | $2,803 |
| 20% ($105,000) | $420,000 | $2,696 | $2,492 |
| 30% ($157,500) | $367,500 | $2,359 | $2,180 |
Layer in taxes, insurance, and the two-to-three-tier HOA stack and the honest all-in at 20% down runs roughly $3,300–$3,700 for the median — with the buydown column live on any listing past six weeks, funded by the 47.5% of sellers already conceding. In our experience the premium-tier version of this table is where August's leverage gets dramatic: on a $1.2M Reverence listing that has cut twice, the seller credit conversation starts at $25,000, and the payment difference against spring pricing runs four figures monthly.
Two ownership-cost facts belong next to the table. According to the Nevada Department of Taxation, the property-tax bill on an owner-occupied primary residence cannot rise more than 3% a year under the state's partial abatement, which makes the tax line the one cost in a Summerlin payment that is effectively capped — a meaningful point in a master plan where the HOA line is not. And the HOA stack is the reason the all-in range above is $400 wide: the same $525,000 purchase carries roughly $150 a month in association dues in an older 89134 village and $900-plus in a gated 89138 one, a difference that moves the real monthly cost as much as three-quarters of a point of mortgage rate. Before comparing two Summerlin homes on price, compare them on the HOA disclosure — the tier that looks cheaper on the listing is frequently the one that costs more on the first of the month.
How Has Summerlin Shifted Since the June Report?
Our June Summerlin report described a premium market beginning to breathe out. August's full-board sweep shows the exhale became a settled correction, and the movement since early summer is measurable on every dial: the cut share pushed decisively past the rest of the valley, the median public concession grew to $25,000, and the below-list share reached 69% — a number that would have been unthinkable in any Summerlin conversation two years ago.
The June figures, with one caveat, make the comparison concrete. June's report was measured on the five master-plan ZIPs alone, and it printed a $537,500 median sold price, 1,465 active listings, and a 35-day median market time. August's seven-ZIP corridor prints $525,000, 1,673, and 27 days. Some of the level difference is the boundary — the two northwest ZIPs pull the median down, as the ZIP table shows — but the direction is unambiguous on the numbers that boundaries do not distort: more listings on the board, a faster clock for the homes that actually close, and a median that eased rather than fell. That is the signature of a market clearing its overpriced tail while its core keeps transacting.
According to Las Vegas REALTORS, the metro's luxury tier has led reductions all year, and Summerlin's premium villages are where that trend lives at street level. What makes the area's version distinctive is what HASN'T moved: the closing bench. The $286-a-foot July figure sits within noise of where spring closed, and the 27-day median for correctly-priced homes is faster than most of the valley. Asking prices are falling toward a bench that is holding — which is a correction of expectations, not of values.
The tier data sharpens the picture further. Entry-village demand actually strengthened through summer — the 12% of sales closing over ask concentrates there, fed by buyers priced out of the premium tiers but unwilling to leave the master plan. Meanwhile the $900,000-plus corridor accumulated the aged inventory: listings carrying two cuts, six-figure spreads between neighbor asks, and the patient-buyer standoffs that produce 98.2% at-table pricing. According to the absorption patterns in FHFA's price indices, premium tiers nationally have followed exactly this sequence in past cycles — expectations correct first, benches hold if demand fundamentals do, and the spread closes from the top down.
What September should tell us: whether Howard Hughes' fall village releases price above or below the current resale bench. Above, and the correction is finishing — builder pricing would re-anchor resale confidence. Below, and premium-tier sellers face another round of audits. That single data point will do more to set Summerlin's winter than any Fed meeting.
One more comparison worth the ink: renting the master plan versus owning it. Three-bedroom Summerlin rentals now command roughly $2,500–$3,000 monthly — within sight of the $2,696 principal-and-interest on the median at 20% down, before the buydown column. Add that ownership captures the area's long-run appreciation and Nevada's capped property-tax trajectory, and the rent-vs-buy gap here is the narrowest the premium corridor has offered since rates spiked. Renters inside the plan doing this math are a quiet, permanent source of the entry-village demand that keeps its floor firm.
What Does This Mean for Your Summerlin Move?
Buying: the master plan's best negotiating window since 2019, tier-dependent — sprint below $600,000, squeeze above $900,000. Selling: the brand no longer prices the house; the village's last 90 days do, and September's market is warmer than December's will be. Owning and staying: nothing here says your equity is in trouble — it says your neighbors' asking prices were.
A closing thought on timing, because premium-tier owners keep asking it: "should I wait for spring to sell?" The honest answer from this data is that spring 2027 arrives with whatever Howard Hughes releases between now and then priced against you, another two quarters of new-village competition, and a buyer pool that has spent six more months learning to negotiate. September's market — thinner competition from fatigued sellers who de-listed, buyers back from summer — is historically the premium tier's second-best window of the year. Waiting is a bet that the audit gets friendlier. Nothing in the last ninety days of closings supports it.
For buyers running the same seasonal question in reverse — "should I wait for winter discounts?" — the calculus differs by tier. In the entry villages, waiting means competing with the spring wave for the same limited sub-$600,000 stock, and the 12%-over-ask dynamic does not soften much in winter because relocation demand is not seasonal. In the premium tier, patience genuinely pays: aged listings accumulate through the fourth quarter, holiday-season sellers are the motivated ones by definition, and the deepest concessions of the year historically sign between Thanksgiving and mid-January. Same master plan, opposite seasonal advice — which is Summerlin in August 2026 in a single sentence. The one constant across both tiers and both seasons: the buyers and sellers who transact against the closing bench rather than the asking board consistently do better, in any month, than the ones negotiating against hope — theirs or the other side's.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the median home price in Summerlin in August 2026?
July closings across the seven Summerlin-area ZIP codes ran a $525,000 median at $286 per square foot — against a median asking price of $639,000. The $114,000 ask-to-close spread is the widest in the valley and is the correction's clearest single measure.
Why is Summerlin's price-cut share the highest in Las Vegas?
Three stacked forces: the premium tier had the most 2022 altitude to give back, continuous new-village releases from Howard Hughes reprice resales every quarter, and the $900,000-plus buyer pool turned scarce and patient at 6.65% rates. The result: 47.5% of active listings cutting, at a valley-leading $25,000 median.
Is Summerlin still selling fast?
When priced right, remarkably — the 27-day July median beats Henderson by a week. The area runs two clocks: bench-priced homes in entry and core villages clear in under a month, while premium-tier listings with aspirational pricing sit for months and cut $40,000-plus. The median blends both.
Is it a good time to buy in Summerlin?
For the $900,000-plus tiers, it is the best entry window since 2019 — 69% of sales closing below list and sellers funding rate buydowns. In entry villages under $600,000, expect genuine competition; 12% of July sales closed over asking, nearly all there. Tier decides your strategy more than timing does.
Are Summerlin HOA fees worth it?
They buy the trail system, parks, standards enforcement, and the master-plan consistency that underpins the $34-a-foot premium over Las Vegas proper — but they stack: master association, village sub-association, and a third tier in gated villages, ranging roughly $150 to $900-plus monthly. Price the full stack into any offer; it moves the real monthly cost as much as half a point of rate.
Will Summerlin prices keep falling?
The evidence points to continued tier-specific re-rating rather than broad decline: the closing bench ($286 a foot) has held while asking prices converge down toward it. Watch two dials — the cut share (47.5% now) and new-village release pricing. If Howard Hughes' next releases price above current resale benches, the correction is ending; if below, it has further to run.
How does Summerlin compare to Henderson right now?
Summerlin is correcting harder but moving faster: higher cut share (47.5% vs 45.4%), bigger cuts ($25,000 vs $20,000), more below-list closings (69% vs 60%) — yet a quicker median clock (27 vs 35 days) and a higher bench ($286 vs $257). Henderson is the stability play; Summerlin is the leverage play with the stronger long-run brand. Our Summerlin vs Henderson comparison runs the full decision.
How Was This Report Built?
Counted, not sampled — the discipline this series runs on. All 1,673 active listings across the seven ZIPs were swept on August 23, each one's original asking price compared against its current price; that is where 47.5% and the $25,000 median cut come from. The 240 July closings posted by August 23 (322 once the month settled) were individually ratioed, sale against final list; that is where 98.2% and the 69%-below-list figure come from. The ZIP-corridor definition is stated openly because it matters: measuring complete ZIP boards means a slice of adjacent northwest Las Vegas rides along, which slightly moderates the pure-Summerlin premium — the honest tradeoff for a full count over a gerrymandered sample. When a portal quotes you a "Summerlin median," ask which boundary and which denominator; the answer usually explains the difference from ours. And the series' standing rule applies here more than anywhere: when asking prices and closing prices disagree — and in Summerlin they currently disagree by $114,000 — believe the closings. They are made of wire transfers, not wishes.
The ZIP-level table is this month's one addition to the method, and it deliberately uses a different window: active counts as of September 6, 2026, and closings for the 90 days ending that date, pulled ZIP by ZIP through the same Repliers MLS access and including every property type. A rolling 90 days gives each ZIP enough closings — 48 to 140 — to print a median worth reading, which a single month at ZIP level would not; 89144's 48 closings is the thinnest row and should be read with that in mind. Where the ZIP figures and the July corridor figures disagree, the window and the boundary are the reasons, and both are labeled so you can tell which is which.

Methodology: the Summerlin "area" here is the seven-ZIP corridor above, which includes some adjacent northwest neighborhoods — the tradeoff for measuring complete ZIP-level boards rather than sampling village boundaries. Cut share measured on all 1,673 actives (original vs current list); sales on all 240 GLVAR July closings. Not an appraisal of any individual home.
