Buyer’s Agent Fee: $11,930–$14,316

In the past, most home sellers covered both the listing agent and the buyer’s agent commissions. However, following a landmark court settlement by the National Association of Realtors, buyers are now expected to negotiate compensation directly with their own agents. If you’re offering to pay this fee to attract buyers or help close a deal, on a $477,200 median-priced Las Vegas home, you can expect to pay $11,930–$14,316.

Detailed Closing Costs: $7,158

Closing costs in Las Vegas typically average 1.5% of the home’s sale price. Whether your property falls in the high or low end of this range depends on its value, condition, the purchase agreement, and what services you end up paying for. On a median-priced home of $477,200, you might pay $7,158. Below are some of the typical types of closing costs you can expect in a Las Vegas home sale:

  • Home Preparations: If you want to create a good first impression for your Las Vegas property, invest in curb appeal improvements such as professional cleaning, landscaping, or home staging.
  • Renovations/Repairs: Fixing or updating your Las Vegas home will help you stay competitive in a tough market. 
  • Title Service Fees: Title company work required to verify legal ownership and help manage the transfer of the property.
  • Owner’s Title Insurance: A one-time insurance premium paid by the seller in Las Vegas to protect the buyer from title issues or ownership disputes.
  • Transfer Taxes: Las Vegas home sellers split a state and county transfer tax rate of $2.55 for each $500 of value (or fraction thereof) if the value exceeds $100.
  • Recording Fees: This is a relatively small fee you’ll need to pay to the local city or county recording office to officially record the change in property ownership.
  • Buyer Incentives: With buyers being more hesitant in the current Las Vegas market, you may need to offer concessions or credits to sweeten a deal, such as paying the buyer’s agent fees or funding an interest rate buydown. Transfer taxes are sometimes paid as a concession. 
  • Other Costs: You’ll likely have some miscellaneous expenses that are not covered in other categories, such as attorney fees and HOA transfers. (An attorney is not required to sell a house in Nevada.)
  • Moving Expenses: While paying for movers or a rental truck is not technically a closing cost, you should include this expense in your budget, which can range from $883 to $7,000.

Nevada buyers and sellers split a statewide transfer tax rate of $1.95 per $500 of the property’s sale. Clark County adds an additional $0.60 per $500 to this, bringing the total transfer tax obligation for Las Vegas transactions up to $2.55 per $500 of value or fraction thereof, based on the full purchase price or estimated fair market value. 

This is usually split between the buyer and seller, as both parties are liable, but sellers can offer to cover this as a concession for buyers.
