September sees slump in luxury home sales
ReviewJournal.com, Oct 24, 2022
The third-most expensive home sold since Labor Day was $4.9 million on Sun Glow Lane in The Ridges in Summerlin. The two-story home built on 0.30 acres was built in 2020. It has five bedrooms and 5½ baths. It measures 5,952 square feet. Ken Lowman of Luxury Homes of Las Vegas was the seller’s agent.
Lowman acknowledged the slowdown. He said there’s more luxury properties to choose from than there was a year ago, and there’s fewer buyers. Despite that, he said there’s a “reasonable amount of transactions taking place. If a home is in great condition and a great location and priced realistically, there’s still multiple offers, he said.
“It’s better than the summer,” Lowman said. “People sat on their hands for a little bit and waited to see what was going to happen (with the economy). Now that they see the world is not ending and have real estate needs, they might as well finalize those plans.”

Record condo sale in a record year for high-rise market
ReviewJournal.com, Jun 11, 2021
“The type of buyer who buys something like that is someone very independently wealthy and often they collect real estate like they do art,” said Ken Lowman, owner of Luxury Homes of Las Vegas. “It’s their fourth-, fifth- or sixth-home type of buyers. They will come to Vegas and maybe use it six or eight weeks out of the year and be in various other locations worldwide in the meantime.”
Lowman said that won’t be the last time a sale of that magnitude is reached in the high-rise segment given the hot market.
“I think we will end up breaking that record within six to 12 months,” Lowman said. “There are a handful of units out there, and some of them are being quietly shopped around.”

Pandemic affects Las Vegas luxury housing market
ReviewJournal.com, Jun 12, 2020
Ken Lowman, broker/owner of Luxury Homes of Las Vegas, said that trend has been evident from the impact on people’s work lives caused by the coronavirus. Before COVID-19 shut down the economy, Lowman said about one-third of his buyers were from California. That’s up to half now, he said.
Lowman said the strongest interest is among buyers looking for homes priced between $800,000 and $1.2 million and those $3 million and above.
“More of them can work from their homes, and Las Vegas being a more affordable environment, (they can come here) and get their work done remotely,” Lowman said.
“They were still coming because of tax reasons, but this is something to allow people to come sooner than they may have otherwise. It allows some people to come that wouldn’t if they were not allowed to work from home. I’ve seen pharmaceutical companies and tech companies and companies that service the tech industry, movie production companies and people from Southern and Northern California.”

Raiders Effect impacts luxury home sales

Ken Lowman, owner of Luxury Homes of Las Vegas, said 2020 was on pace to be one of his best years with luxury real estate sales until COVID-19 slowed the marketplace.
“There was low inventory, low interest rates, lots of buyers and the Raiders coming to town,” Lowman said. “I think the Raiders are having some impact (with luxury). If it’s 5 percent or 10 percent, it’s going to move the needle a little bit.”

“I still see a lot of locals doing upgrading from a smaller or older home and moving to one of the new planned communities like The Ridges and MacDonald Highlands. If anything causes our sales to slow down, it will be a lack of inventory. It’s not going to be a lack of buyers.”

Q&A With Ken Lowman of Luxury Homes of Las Vegas
BY BUCK WARGO, BUSINESS REPORTER, JAN 29, 2010
Ken Lowman knows how to engineer his way around a problem.
The 45-year-old broker-owner of Luxury Homes of Las Vegas, an electrical engineering graduate from Oregon State University, became interested in real estate while in Southern California. There he worked as an engineer at a Frito Lay processing plant making Doritos.
The real estate market in Southern California was going like gangbusters in 1998-99, Lowman said.
“I got my real estate license so I would have the knowledge of the business so I could go out and buy my first home, kind of like a good engineer,” he said…

LV home prices fall to level not seen since 2003
Analyst sees no need for new homes
BY HUBBLE SMITH, LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, FEB 11, 2009
Home-builder confidence is at a record low. Builders have dramatically reduced housing starts, pulling just 6,129 new permits in Las Vegas in 2008, a 58 percent decrease from the previous year, according to Home Builders Research.
But that’s a good sign for the local housing market, Lowman said.
“The market is telling all the home builders that we have too much inventory,” he said. “There is a massive overhang of unsold homes, including new homes and foreclosure homes. The market doesn’t need any more new homes to be built when there are so many still waiting for a buyer.”

IN THE LAP OF LUXURY
Prices increase in high-end housing market while sales stay steady
By HUBBLE SMITH, LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, JUN. 15, 2008
The mortgage credit crisis doesn’t affect buyers in the luxury market as much as those in the lower and middle markets, said Ken Lowman, broker and owner of Luxury Homes of Las Vegas.
He sold four homes priced at more than $5 million in the past eight months, each of them for cash.
“These buyers don’t seem to care about economic fluctuations,” Lowman said. “They are very discriminating in their choice and expect near-perfection.”
Lowman brokered the sale of a $5.8 million home in The Ridges subdivision of Summerlin in 51 days.

Home slump in LV persists
BY HUBBLE SMITH, LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, MAY 17, 2007
Luxury home sales ($1 million or more) declined 18 percent in the first quarter to 132, but April sales jumped to 53, two more than a year ago, said Ken Lowman, owner of Luxury Homes of Las Vegas. The average price rose to $1.79 million, compared with $1.26 million in April 2006.
Lowman said more homes are selling in the “ultrahigh end of the market,” including eight in April above the $3 million mark.
“I foresee this trend to continue as higher lot and construction prices have led to more homes being constructed and sold over $3 million than ever before in our history,” Lowman said. “We also have a steady stream of qualified buyers in this price range relocating to Las Vegas.”
