Buying a new home in Las Vegas or Henderson works differently from buying a resale. You usually deal with a builder's sales office and a builder contract, and you often hear about incentives tied to a preferred lender. This guide explains the differences, how to compare an incentive with a plain offer, and why you can still bring your own agent. It is general information, not legal or lending advice.

New vs resale
- Timing. A home not yet built has a completion date set by the builder; a finished "quick move-in" home can close sooner. Ask for the date in writing and what happens if it slips.
- Choices. An unbuilt home lets you choose a floor plan, finishes and options, and each option usually costs extra. A resale home is what it is, and its price already reflects any upgrades.
- Inspection. Consider hiring your own inspector for a new home too, and ask when the builder's own inspections and any punch-list walk-through happen.
- Seller disclosure. Nevada's Seller's Real Property Disclosure rules do not apply to the first sale of a residence built by a licensed contractor (NRS 113.130(2)(c), printed on the Nevada Real Estate Division's Form 547, read October 16, 2026). Ask the builder for its own disclosures and read the warranty.
- Lot, HOA and taxes. Ask which association the community belongs to, what the dues are and whether a special assessment or similar charge is planned. See Nevada property taxes explained.
Builders selling in the area
These builders each say on their own websites that they offer new homes in the Las Vegas area (pages read October 16, 2026). The list is not complete and is not a ranking or a recommendation; communities and availability change, so check each builder's site:
- KB Home, which lists new homes in Las Vegas and Henderson.
- Lennar, which lists new and quick move-in homes across the Las Vegas area.
- Pulte Homes, which lists new homes in Las Vegas.
- Richmond American Homes, which lists new homes in Las Vegas.
- Beazer Homes, which lists communities in Henderson, near Las Vegas.
How builder incentives and preferred lenders work
Builders often advertise incentives such as closing-cost help or a lower interest rate, and some tie the incentive to using their own mortgage company. For example, Lennar's Las Vegas page says financing with its affiliated lender is optional, and that incentives such as rate buydowns and closing cost assistance are available on select Las Vegas homes when you use it (read October 16, 2026). Other builders structure theirs differently, so read the offer you are given.
How to compare an incentive with a plain offer:
- Get the incentive in writing, with the conditions: which homes, which loan types, any deadline, and what happens if you use another lender.
- Get a Loan Estimate from the builder's lender and at least one other lender, with and without the incentive. The CFPB says multiple mortgage credit checks within a 45-day window count as one inquiry, so shopping does not have to hurt your credit (CFPB, read October 16, 2026).
- Understand lender credits. The CFPB says lender credits lower your closing costs up front in exchange for a higher interest rate (CFPB, lender credits and points, last reviewed October 19, 2023), so compare the cost over the years you expect to keep the loan, not just on closing day.
- Ask whether the price changes. If a credit comes from the seller, ask how it compares with the price you would pay without it.
- Check the Closing Disclosure. Lenders must provide it three business days before closing (CFPB closing disclosure explainer, read October 16, 2026); compare it with your Loan Estimate and ask about any change.
You can bring your own agent
Builders set their own rules for buyers who bring an agent, and some ask that the agent be introduced on your first visit, so ask the sales office before you tour. A buyer's agent works for you under your own written agreement, not for the builder. The Nevada Duties Owed form tells you what duties a licensee owes; see do you need a real estate agent to buy a house in Nevada? for how buyer-agent pay works now.
Questions to ask the sales office
- What is the total price with the options I want, and which items are not included?
- What is the completion date, and what are my rights if it is late?
- What does the warranty cover, for how long, and how do I make a claim?
- Which lenders are preferred, what do I give up by using another one, and when does the incentive expire?
- Which association and fees apply, and are other phases still being built nearby?
