Mansion Global is now on YouTube. The leader in global luxury real estate news launched its first journalist-run YouTube channel on Monday, hosted by Editor-in-Chief Beckie Strum.
The first episode shows a sprawling, modern megavilla on the outskirts of Las Vegas fighting for a price record in southern Nevada. The $ 32.5 million home is packed with smart home features from numerous automatic doors to a car lift in the 12-car garage to rows and rows of solar panels on the roof.
If the home – whose under-roof square meters is the equivalent of five regulated basketball courts – sells near its price, it would break the price record set earlier this year by another tech-rich desert home that closed for $ 25 million.
This potential record breaker also underscores a much bigger story in Las Vegas – the tremendous growth in the city’s housing market over the past year. Amid the pandemic, shoppers, particularly from California, have come to the desert oasis in search of a fair lifestyle with more space at a lower price.
For example, in September the average asking price for a luxury home in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Statistical Area – defined as the top 1% of the market – rose 32% year over year, according to data from Realtor.com.
