It’s a fact: Nevada has the fewest affordable homes available in the nation. One such measure is the swiftly rising median rent in Las Vegas and Reno. Another is the fact that only 15 units are available per 100 extremely low-income (ELI) households according to businessinsider.com, which indicates higher prices for all rental ranges. Translation: It’s a super competitive rental market, which makes finding the next place more challenging. That’s the bad news.
The good news is that there’s a great online resource that can help renters in the Silver State rise to the challenge. It’s called NVHousingSearch.org and it was created by Nevada Housing Division (whose purpose is to provide affordable housing opportunities in the state) in order to help renters (ELI and otherwise) find rental homes and apartments faster and easier.
Three Reasons NVHousingSearch.org Is A Go-to Source
-
It’s Free To Use
Free is good. Free AND very helpful is even better. NVHousingSearch.org is free not only for those looking for apartments or rental homes in Nevada, but also for property owners and landlords to post available rentals. Because it doesn’t cost owners to advertise, the website is well used and well populated with many available rentals.
-
It Has Frequently Updated Listings
Because demand for rental properties is so great, every second counts when shopping for a new place to live. Owners and property managers who use NVHousingSearch.org can post and update listings easily so users can act quickly—something especially important if shoppers find a great place that fits their needs. Those who check listings daily (or even more often) will be among the first to know when rental properties become available.
