Las Vegas High-Rise Condos: What to Check Before You Buy

A high-rise condominium is a different purchase from a house or a low-rise condo: you own a unit, the association owns and maintains the building, and the building's age, reserves and rules shape your costs and your financing options. This guide explains what to check, names the high-rise condo buildings we track in our MLS data, and shows live listings in them.

Buildings in this guide

These are the buildings whose names appear in our MLS data as condo subdivisions, grouped by the ZIP codes of their MLS listings. We describe each only as a high-rise condo building; we do not quote floor counts, amenities, dues or construction dates, because those are the building's to state and they change. Ask the listing agent for the building's own documents.

The numbers above cover only the buildings named in this guide. A search for condos is broader: use the condo search for every condominium we list.

HOA dues and what they pay for

In a tower, association dues cover the building as well as the grounds. Ask:

• What do the dues include, and what do they not include?
• What is the monthly assessment, and is any special assessment pending or planned?
• What do the budget and reserve summary say about elevators, the roof, plumbing and the parking structure?
• What are the rules on rentals, pets, parking and moves?

We do not quote a dues figure because it varies widely and changes over time. Under NRS 116.4109 a seller in a common-interest community must give the buyer a resale package, which includes the declaration, bylaws, rules, a statement of the monthly assessment and any unpaid obligations of the seller, the current operating budget with a summary of reserves, and a statement of unsatisfied judgments and pending legal actions against the association. Read it before your inspection period ends. Our condo and townhome guide covers it in more detail, and the statute is in the Nevada Legislature's NRS Chapter 116.

Condo-hotels and resort condos

Four of the buildings above are listed in the MLS under names that identify them as condo-hotels or resort condos: Vdara Condo Hotel, Palms Place A Resort Condo, Platinum Resort Condo, and Trump Intl Hotel & Tower. In general, a condo-hotel is a building where units are individually owned but the building is run in part as a hotel, and owners may place units in a rental program. Whether a particular unit can be your primary residence, and what the rental program requires, is set by the building's documents, so ask for them.

Financing for these units is different from financing for a standard condominium. HUD's condominium project approval guide (Mortgagee Letter 11-22) lists projects that cannot be approved for FHA insurance, including projects managed and operated as a hotel or motel even though the units are individually owned, projects that include registration services and offer rentals on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, and projects with mandatory rental pooling agreements. HUD has since moved its condominium guidance into the FHA handbook, so confirm the current rules with a lender. We are not saying any particular building falls into those categories; that is for the lender and HUD's approval process to decide. Ask your lender before you make an offer, and expect that some buyers use cash or a different loan type.

Financing: FHA and VA

Lenders look at the building as well as at you.

• FHA: HUD says it insures condominium loans for terms of up to 30 years for units in an FHA-approved condominium project. HUD's FHA condominium page explains this, and HUD's online search lets you look up FHA-approved condominiums by location, name or status.
• VA: the VA's home loan program has its own condominium review, and VA's Loan Guaranty site has a condo report tool that can search for approved condos by name and state. For the loan itself, see VA home loans and our Nellis AFB housing and VA loan guide.

Ask your lender early whether the building qualifies for the loan type you want, before you spend money on an inspection or appraisal. If you do not yet have a lender, see our mortgage pre-qualification page and mortgage calculator.

Insurance and inspections

Ask what the association's master insurance covers and what you must insure yourself. Inspect the unit, and review the association's most recent reserve information and any engineering reports on the building.

Questions to ask before you buy

• Is this a standard condominium or a condo-hotel or resort condo, and what does the declaration say about use and rentals?
• What do the dues cover, and is any special assessment pending?
• Does the building qualify for the loan type you plan to use?
• What do the reserve summary and budget say about major repairs?
• What does the resale package show about unpaid obligations and pending legal actions?

Reading the numbers above

The stats box is built from MLS listings, so a few cautions apply. Active listings are homes for sale today, and the count moves daily. Median list price is the middle asking price, not what homes sell for. Median sold price is the middle closing price for homes that closed in the last 90 days; it reads "Not enough sales" when fewer than five sales are on record. Median days on market is for homes still listed, so it describes how long current listings have been sitting, not how long past ones took to sell. These figures cover only the buildings named in this guide. They mix standard condominiums with condo-hotel and resort-condo units, which can price and finance differently, so compare individual units, not only the box. For a specific home, ask for a comparable-sales review instead of relying on the building-wide medians.
