Vacation Homes Make Up 2.7% of Nevada Housing

As someone who’s spent years helping clients navigate the Nevada real estate landscape, I find it interesting that vacation homes now make up just 2.7% of our state’s housing. Nationally, the number of U.S. vacation homes dropped from 5.47 million in 2018 to 4.74 million in 2024, accounting for 3.3% of all housing. Timeshares are seeing even higher occupancy than hotels—something I’ve noticed locally as well. If you’re curious, Florida leads in sheer numbers, while Maine and Vermont have the highest concentration of vacation properties. In my experience, whether you’re considering a second home for personal use or as an investment, understanding these trends is key for making informed decisions in our changing market.
