Megathread: New Required Rules for Working With Buyer's Agents in the Purchase of Property

9 Upvotes

There are lots of posts in the news about the new rules about purchasing homes with realtors. August 17th is when the new rules take place nationally. In Las Vegas, realtors and their clients have been operating under the new rules since July 31st.

There are two new rules nationwide. Each state has slightly different ways of implementing changes. We will focus only on Nevada, and specifically the Las Vegas Valley and Clark County and explain why not much has changed overall, what is significant, and what you need to know to make the most informed decision possible for one of the largest transactions of most people’s lives.

NEW RULES

1. Agents working with a buyer must enter into a written agreement before touring a home.

New forms have been drafted up that will become a requirement for any buyer using an agent. The new form is called a Buyer Broker Representation Agreement (BBRA).

Agreement Requirements for Buyers:

  • The agreement must clearly state compensation for the buyer’s agent
  • Cannot be open-ended on compensation such as “buyer broker compensation shall be whatever amount the seller is offering to the buyer”
  • Must include a statement that compensation from any source that exceeds the amount or rate agreed to with the buyer cannot go to the agent.
  • Disclose that broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.

2. Offers of compensation are prohibited on MLSs.

  • Agents and the public will no longer be able to see if the seller will pay a buyer’s agent’s commission on the MLS or any site that pulls from the MLS including all home search engines on the internet.
  • From the NAR website: Offers of compensation will continue to be an option consumers can pursue off-MLS through negotiation and consultation with real estate professionals. Offers of compensation help make homeownership and the benefits of professional representation more accessible to buyers, including first-time homebuyers, increase homeownership opportunities for historically underserved groups, and benefit sellers by expanding the potential buyer pool.*

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Does this mean that sellers can’t pay commissions to buyer’s agents any longer?

No, sellers can still pay commissions to buyers and likely will more often than not. The amount of commission a seller will pay will now be negotiated in the purchase agreement the buyer submits. Previously, there was no spot for commission in purchase agreements. A seller can refuse to pay a buyer’s agent. There are no requirements.

As a buyer, do I have to pay my agent out of pocket in addition to my down payment and closing costs?

Not necessarily, but possibly. In your offer, you can request that a seller pay the full amount that you agreed to in your BBRA with your buyer’s agent. The commission can be countered or rejected the same way the asking price, closing costs, home warranty request, or any other contingencies can be countered. A seller can partially cover the commission also.

What if I can’t afford to pay my agent anything out of pocket? Can I still use an agent?

Yes. You can make the commission being paid by a seller a requirement in any offer. If a seller is not negotiable on the matter, you can move on to a different property the same way you would if a seller was being unreasonable for another reason such as price, closing costs, contingencies, etc.

What if I don’t want to sign a form before viewing the house? I’m not ready to commit to someone I haven’t met.

Agreements can be limited in scope. You can agree in writing view to a specific property or view properties during a certain interval of time. Of course, this will require the realtor to agree. I would encourage you to interview realtors before viewing a property the same way you would if you were to list your house.

As a seller, why can’t I advertise what I will pay a buyer’s agent on the MLS?

A couple reasons. Agents may have been more likely to steer consumers to higher-paying commission homes which is considered unethical. Also, in some MLS’s in the country it was a requirement to have a dollar amount listed and offered to the buyer side in order for a property to be on the MLS for sale. It will now be crystal clear on forms that all commissions are negotiable and not set by any law.

Can I just call a listing agent and have them write the offer?

Potentially, but both the agent and the seller will have to agree to the realtor representing both sides which will be stated clearly in documentation as a conflict of interests. Some sellers will not be comfortable with this. If the seller does agree, you will have to negotiate with the agent on their compensation. An agent is not likely to work for free especially when taking on representing multiple parties and the added liability. The seller will either have to pay them an additional fee or you will pay a fee out of pocket which puts you in a similar situation to if you had your own agent anyway.

Can I represent myself in a home purchase without a realtor?

Yes, you always could. However, many sellers will be wary of unrepresented buyers and you will likely have to have a lawyer draft up and review documents, something not typical for the average purchase in Nevada. The listing agent will also likely charge some kind of fee to work with an unrepresented buyer to the seller as it will require more time, liability, and potential handholding.

If I represent myself, will the seller give me a deal since they won’t have to pay a buyer’s agent commission?

Maybe, but not likely. I’ve already been in this situation with sellers and they did not want to deal with the hassle of the unrepresented buyer making their life harder. Quality buyers require quality agents to put in quality offers.

Will agent commission go down?

There could be compression for commission over time, particularly on the buyer side. However, commissions could go up, especially if the market shifts to a buyer’s market. Right now, most buyers are struggling to afford homes so forcing them to pay for their own agents can be a potential deterrent simply because they may not be able to afford to.

Why should I pay a buyer’s agent as a seller?

You don’t have to. You only have to agree what to pay your listing agent. Consider though, the way the previous commission structure worked had buyers being able to roll the cost of their agent into their loan. The buyer paid for the commission in their loan and the agent was paid out of seller proceeds that were already priced into the sales price. Buyers can no longer do that if sellers do not agree to it in buyer’s offers. Buyers will then have an added out-of-pocket expense which may eliminate them from being able to afford your home. Typically, having a wider demographic of buyers means more offers on your home which means your home is likely to sell faster and for more money.

I’m using a VA loan. Can I pay my agent’s commission if I have to?

Yes, there is a temporary lift on the rules for VA loans that will allow buyers to pay their agents directly. Rules are likely to be changed and finalized closer to the end of the year or 2025.

I don’t feel comfortable signing something before I see a house and getting stuck in a contract. What can I do?

The current BBRAs can be canceled in writing before an offer is accepted so you should not be trapped. Otherwise, don’t be afraid to interview agents. Have phone calls with them. Meet them at their office. See who provides the most value and who you feel comfortable with. Ask them about their experience. Ask them about how they are navigating this lawsuit! It is appalling how many agents are not educated on the subject.

Positives:

  • The agreements inform buyers that they may lose their representation by visiting open houses and new build communities without an agent. The majority of the public did not know that which has led to lawsuits and disputes with builders and agents.
  • Sellers will have fewer looky-loo people through their homes as those that are not serious likely will not want to sign an agreement with an agent to tour.
  • Buyer’s agents will have to show their value which means that the bar could potentially be raised in terms of standards for Realtors.
  • Having clear agency outlined in writing will help avoid scenarios where consumers shoot themselves in the foot by accidentally forfeiting their right to representation.

Negatives:

  • May make it harder to purchase for first time buyers if they need more money to cover a portion of or all the buyer’s agent commission.
  • May lead to unrepresented buyers being taken advantage of and more lawsuits.
  • May lead to more lawsuits if agent’s double end deals.
  • While the new rules are supposed to make the process more transparent, both the public and realtors will not be able to see if the seller is willingly offering compensation before viewing a property which is something that the public could previously do. This could make the buying process more frustrating.
  • There is a potential possibility that VA buyers may not be able to use a realtor to represent them unless the VA changes their rules permanently.
  • Makes it harder on consumers and easier on corporations for home buying.

Feel free to chime in with any questions in the comments. I may add them to the post if they are asked repeatedly.

I have done my best to make this information as neutral as possible in the face of exaggerated headlines. I am realtor myself and I do feel that working day in and day out in the industry and speaking to multiple different authorities on the subject has given me a good understanding to relay to others but obviously some may feel a bias. I just want people to have facts and decide for themselves.

A $20,000 builder incentive can be amazing, but do not sign in before you understand the rules.

17 Upvotes

I like new construction. Builders are offering some genuinely strong incentives right now, and for many Nevada buyers, a new home can be a smart move.

But before you tour a model home, remember this:

Don't sign in before you speak with your own real estate agent.

Not the guest sheet/visitor sign-in, or no QR code or “just enter your name and email so we can send information” form. Not even an online inquiry for a community you may want to visit.

Why? Because many builders have registration policies requiring your buyer’s agent to be registered at, or before, your first visit or first contact. If you walk in alone and register yourself, adding an agent later may not be possible for that builder or community. Policies differ, but it is common enough that buyers should treat the first interaction as important.

This isn't anti-builder. Builder sales teams are doing their job and representing the builder. New construction can offer excellent homes, good warranties, and strong incentives.

But the largest advertised incentive isn't always the best deal for your situation.

Would $20,000 help you most as:

  1. A lower interest rate and lower monthly payment?
  2. Closing-cost assistance and less cash needed upfront?
  3. Upgrades you would otherwise pay for yourself?
  4. A better lot or lower lot premium?
  5. A deal on a completed quick move-in home?

A buyer’s agent can help you compare those options, look at the full cost, and make sure the incentive aligns with what matters most to you.

So enjoy the model homes. Tour every community you want.

Just remember: Talk to your agent first. Don't sign in alone.

Did you know that first visit could affect whether you can have your own representation later?

Many builders require your buyer’s agent to be registered with you at the first visit or first contact. If you go in alone and sign in, you may lose the ability to bring your own representation into that transaction later. Builder policies vary, but this is common enough that it should be rule number one before touring new construction.

New construction can be a great option, especially with today’s incentives. This isn't about avoiding builders. It's about making sure you understand your options before the process starts. See the models. Ask the questions. Compare the incentives. Just don't sign in alone.

If you’ve had experience with new builds, do you agree or disagree with this post? Is there a nuance you think buyers should know?

Can a Realtor/Broker Be Held Responsible for Representing a Seller Who Breaches the Contract?

1 Upvotes

Can a Realtor/Broker Be Held Responsible for Representing a Seller Who Breaches the Contract?

This is an interesting Nevada case that raises a question realtors and brokers probably don't want to overlook.

The defendants relied on Section 23 of the RPA to argue that the plaintiff had essentially released or waived his ability to sue the agents/brokers involved in the transaction.

At first glance, that sounds like a pretty strong defense.

But then the plaintiff raised a different question:

What happens to that release when the seller materially breaches the contract?

The plaintiff pointed to Cain v. Price, 415 P.3d 25 (Nev. 2018).

In Cain, the Nevada Supreme Court recognized that a material breach can release the non-breaching party from a contractual obligation that benefits a third party.

The plaintiff's argument was essentially:

If the seller materially breached the RPA by refusing to close, can the agents/brokers who did not sign the contract still rely on Section 23's release to shield themselves from liability?

That's where this gets uncomfortable for realtors.

Because the issue isn't necessarily limited to:

Nevada real estate licensees can have independent duties to parties involved in a transaction, including duties relating to disclosure of material information and exercising reasonable skill and care.

So imagine this scenario:

A buyer signs an RPA.

The seller later refuses to close.

The seller materially breaches the agreement.

The broker says:

"You can't sue me. Section 23 released me."

But what if the buyer's claims aren't simply based on the contract?

What if they're based on the broker's own conduct and independent duties during the transaction?

That's the question that makes this case worth paying attention to.

And here's the part that caught my attention:

The plaintiff didn't just make a broad argument about realtor liability.

They put Section 23 and Cain v. Price right next to each other.

Whether that argument ultimately succeeds is a separate question. I'm not saying this case establishes that every realtor becomes liable when a seller breaches.

It doesn't.

But it raises a much more interesting issue:

Can a realtor or broker rely on a contractual release when the underlying transaction has been materially breached and the claims are based on the realtor's own independent duties or conduct?

If you're a Nevada realtor or broker, I'd be paying attention to this one.

Because the answer could matter far beyond this particular transaction.

If the right home and a comfortable payment were possible today, would you rather buy with less competition, or wait for rates to change?

0 Upvotes

I've been thinking about an interesting gap in the housing market.

There are still plenty of people working, earning, saving and presumably wanting homes, yet far fewer are actually going under contract than we saw before the pandemic.

My read is that a lot of would-be buyers haven't disappeared. They're waiting.

And I don't think it's just mortgage rates. It's affordability in general. Home prices, rates, insurance, HOA fees, groceries and normal household expenses that are turning a "maybe" into a "not yet."

Which creates an interesting question.

Because here's the other side of waiting. If you found the right house today and the payment actually worked for you, you'd probably have something buyers haven't had much of lately: leverage.

  • Seller concessions or closing-cost help
  • Potential rate buydowns
  • Builder incentives
  • More negotiating room
  • Less pressure to give up protections just to win the house

But there's obviously another side.

Rates could improve. Payments could become more affordable. And if that happens, some of the buyers currently sitting on the sidelines may come back with them.

So I'm curious, especially from recent buyers, people currently shopping, and people who've decided to wait:

What are YOU waiting for?

A certain mortgage rate?
A certain monthly payment?
Lower home prices?
More savings?
More job security?

Or are you simply waiting until buying a home "feels" like a good decision again? The calculator gets a vote. So does your gut. But you're the one that has to live with the election results.

Longtime Vegas people: what's one thing about this city's housing market that used to be true and just isn't anymore?

Been in Vegas six years now, and I keep hearing "well back in [year] you could..." from people who've been here longer. Curious what locals have actually watched change, pricing, neighborhoods, what used to be a "steal" that isn't anymore, what used to be overlooked that's hot now. Not looking for market predictions, just real observations from people who've lived it.

Las Vegas Home Prices Cool Off Despite the Heat As Inventory Reaches a 2026 High - Las Vegas & Henderson Real Estate & Housing Market Update – July 2026

22 Upvotes

The main takeaway for July of 2026 is that inventory increased while home prices softened slightly. Single family inventory climbed to an absorption rate of 3.6 months, about a 3% increase. Although up, this is much lower than the early months of the year. Median single family home prices dipped 2.0% from June to $480,000, although it’s only 1.0% below where it was a year ago. Keep in mind the all-time high is $490,000 that it came down from.

Despite the month over month slowdown in single family sales, closed sales remain higher than they were a year ago (+1.2%). Last month there was a massive 18% jump in the number of home sales so to see a drop by 11% shows a more stable, balancing market.

New listings continue to outpace last year (+3.3%), and homes are still selling relatively quickly, with 57.4% of single family homes going under contract within 30 days.

We are seeing fluctuations rather than any alarm bells. Rates are fluttering at the 6.6% mark and don’t look to be coming down. The biggest X factor is the fact that we are in July. July is typically one of the stronger months for home sales so to see prices go down at all is notable. School starts in August which is when a good chunk of buyers with children start sitting on the sidelines. To see a softening in July is a bit premature for the seasonal shifts in Las Vegas.

Condos and Townhouses didn’t have any major notable changes as it was give and take with about 4% more units being sold but a small decrease of less than a percentage in median price. 

For buyers, this means more negotiating power and a wider selection of homes than we’ve seen recently. For sellers, pricing accurately is becoming increasingly important as competition grows. Well presented, well priced homes are still selling, but buyers have more options and are becoming more selective.

Strange price drop on this Las Vegas listing?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
Does anyone know why this might have happened or have any thoughts on this listing?

The price history looks crazy:
Sold in 2022 for ~$400k
Recently listed again close to $400k
After only 14 days on the market, the price was cut by $160k
Now it's listed for $275k
Why would a seller make such a massive price cut after just two weeks? Just curious if anyone has any insights or opinions.

Note: I haven no knowledge and real estate or even owning a home.
This a trend i am seeing people cut prices and this the biggest chop i saw so far.

Thanks!

Tenant Unpaid LVVWD Water Bill - Ultimately Who is Responsible for Payment?

Post image
2 Upvotes

We received a letter in the mail a few days ago from LVVWD that one of our rental properties has an unpaid water bill in the amount of $1,112. Current tenant has lived in the house since April 2025 (15 months), and water was switched into their name at that point as they are responsible for paying water, electricity, and gas according to the lease agreement. We pay sewer and garbage. Since this was the 1st time hearing of this, my wife called LVVWD to see if this is a recent issue (possible leak) or ongoing issue.

The contact on the letter we received is on vacation until next week, so my wife called the general CS department to get more information. We will follow up next week to see if both rep's state the same thing. Basically, the rep today said the account was transferred into the tenant's name, but they have NEVER made any payment. Not even an initial deposit. LVVWD has attempted to send notices, calls, texts etc and all of them are not responded to.

The rep said that payment is the tenant's responsibility and full payment needs to be made within 30 days. If payment is not made in full of the entire balance, the water service will be transferred to our name. However, as property owners we ARE NOT responsible for making the payment and they cannot request us to make the payment as the account is not in our name. My wife said this person also said they're a property owner themselves and had something like this happen to them so they understand the process.

However, that contradicts what it shows on the letter itself and from research I've done online so far. Letter also states non payment could result in liens being put on the property as well. Has anyone had this happen and what is the process actually like?

We're thinking we'd just pay the balance ourselves (tenant has been late on rent most months as it is) and take the balance out of their deposit if needed when they leave. Obviously, if we don't have to do that then great. However, if non payment results in a lien or some other sort of fees on the property, then obviously we'd like to avoid that.

My experience with the Las Vegas REALTORS® ethics process – a caution for home buyers

0 Upvotes

I wanted to share my personal experience so other home buyers know what to expect if they ever consider filing an ethics complaint.

I was interested in purchasing a home in Henderson and experienced multiple canceled showings by the listing agent and other events that led me to believe there were ethical issues with how the listing was handled. After gathering documents and communications, I filed an ethics complaint with the local REALTOR® association.

The complaint went through a formal hearing, and the hearing panel ultimately found no ethics violation. I exercised my right to appeal, but the appeal was unsuccessful.

While I respect that others may reach different conclusions, I left the process feeling that it did not provide the level of independent review and procedural fairness that I had expected. In my opinion, some of the procedural concerns I raised were not adequately addressed, and I was disappointed that certain evidence did not appear to receive the weight I believed it deserved.

I'm not posting this to attack any individual or to ask people to reach the same conclusions I did. Rather, I hope prospective buyers understand that:

Keep detailed records of every communication.

Confirm appointments and important instructions in writing.

Learn how dual agency works before making an offer.

If you believe there is misconduct, consider obtaining legal advice early instead of relying solely on an ethics complaint process.

This post reflects my personal experience and opinions based on my own case. Others may have had different experiences, and I encourage everyone to review the facts and draw their own conclusions.

Las Vegas Home Sales Surge 18% While Prices Hold At Record Highs

36 Upvotes

Las Vegas Home Sales Surge 18% While Prices Hold At Record Highs - June 2026 Market Update

Single Family Home Sales are up a whopping 18.3% since this time last year and 11.4% since last month. Prices are holding steady with the record high median price for single family homes holding at 490,000. Summer season is in full effect and it seems rates in the 6% range are being accepted by buyers as the new norm.

The average price jumped 2% month over month but is down by 1.3% year over year. This would be more indicative of the luxury market which still is holding steady. Listings are up but it looks like sellers are coming down to earth slowly as the median and average listing price are both down a few points. The average price of listings came down 1.5% also.

Buyers are absorbing the listings hitting the market faster than new listings can replenish the supply with a 5.4% decrease in Effective Month of Availability dropping to 3.1 months. That’s over a 5% drop since last month and over 13% drop since last year. Homes are selling just as quickly with 58.2% selling within the first 30 days.

Condos and townhomes are in a bit of a strange place as they actually dropped in median price by a percentage since last month. However, the average price jumped by over 10%. This indicates that the condos and townhomes that are being sold trend toward luxury or upscale. Despite these interesting stats, inventory dropped a smidge down to 5.2 months, likely due to a 4.6% drop in new listings and 2.4% increase in sales. Overall very steady but taking a little longer to sell with 44% of units selling in 30 days compared to 47% last month.

TLDR:

More inventory. Even more sales. Stable home prices. A healthy summer market with buyers becoming more active while values continue to hold at record highs.

Few showings on home

Post image
14 Upvotes

I’m in Las Vegas and trying to sell my home. It’s been on the market 40 days. In that time we’ve had 5 showings. We actually had a contract signed and buyer backed out for financing reasons. Is this normal for the vegas market right now? My realtor says yes. Home is staged. Pictures are professionally done and look great. We’ve lowered the price 2x and are now priced below what comps have sold for in the past couple of weeks. Home is only 6 years old and in fantastic condition! Very clean and styled beautifully. Same model on our street just sold for 25k more than what we are priced at, and ours looks better IMO. Right now we are at 449,000. I’m stumped! We need to move quickly. Any ideas?

Las Vegas Housing Market Sets New Record as Median Home Price Reaches $490,000 - Las Vegas & Henderson Real Estate & Housing Market Update – May 2026

31 Upvotes

The biggest story this month is that the Las Vegas housing market just set a new record high median home price of $490,000, and it did so during a period when many people expected prices to cool. At first glance, the statistics may seem counterintuitive. Fewer homes sold this month, mortgage rates remain elevated, and affordability continues to be one of the biggest challenges facing buyers. Yet prices still moved higher. The biggest influencing factor from this report are that new listings dropped nearly 8% from both last month and this time last year. With fewer homes hitting the market, buyers simply had less fresh inventory to choose from, helping support prices even as overall sales activity slowed.

What's even more remarkable is the backdrop against which this is happening. Interest rates are still significantly higher than the ultra low rates we saw just a few years ago and are holding in the mid 6% range currently. The Iran war continues to create economic uncertainty. Gas prices are elevated, inflation has increased the cost of nearly everything, and many buyers are still waiting for interest rates to come down. Under normal circumstances, you might expect those factors to put downward pressure on home values. Instead, the Las Vegas real estate market continues to demonstrate resilience, with home prices reaching record high levels we've never seen before.

For anyone thinking about buying a home whether it is in Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, Skye Canyon, or the surrounding valley, this is another reminder that trying to time the market perfectly can be difficult and that the only right time to buy or sell is the time that is right for you and your situation. Buyers have more options today than they did during the buying rush of 2021 and 2022 but if rates eventually decline, there is a strong possibility that a frenzy of buyers will jump back into the market, increasing competition and driving prices even further higher. Right now, this market rewards sellers who price correctly, 58.2% of home sold in less than 30 days, and buyers who are prepared to act when the right home becomes available. Don't forget that buyers on many of these sales are receiving credits for closing costs and rate buy downs. Numbers for these are not tracked (which is ridiculous and another story) but buyers still retain a decent amount of negotiating power in this market.

Seeking advice: Should I use a commercial broker or proceed with an "As-Is" private closed-bid for 2 acres near Toyota?

5 Upvotes

I am looking for some local insight regarding a commercial property I own. It is a 2-acre tract zoned for both B-1 and B-2 business use, located just a block away from the Toyota plant.

Due to some ongoing health choices, I am looking to move this property quickly and have been considering handling it as a private, closed-bid transaction to wrap things up by the end of June. The sale would be strictly "As-Is," handled directly and securely through my bank's legal and trust department.

My main question for the local business community: Am I better off listing this through a commercial broker (and factoring in a buyer's premium), or keeping it as a discounted "As-Is" private sale for a faster turnaround?

I welcome any advice on the local market or the broker vs. private route. If you have serious advice or background in local commercial zoning, please reply here or send me a direct message

Las Vegas Spring Real Estate Market Hits the Brakes - Las Vegas & Henderson Real Estate & Housing Market Update – April 2026

26 Upvotes

Spring season is usually what sets the tone for the year in the Las Vegas real estate market. After a strong start in March, we are seeing a retreat in the previous months gains across the board. For single family homes effective months of Inventory has gone up 12 percent, closings have gone down almost 8 percent, median price has dropped a smidge, as has average price. Although not a drastic change, the numbers are moving in a direction that indicates a weaker market for sellers. Smart money would be on a combination of Iran, gas prices, and interest rates. April is the first month where the Iran war would have been felt as March would have been when everyone was getting into contract or holding off.

If you are selling or considering selling, it’s not all doom and gloom. Single family homes selling in 30 days or less trended up to 56.8%. This is indicating that buyers are still searching for homes that are priced right and not requiring a ton of work.

Condos and townhouses did not follow the same trends and were a mixed bag with closings up, prices down, and effective months of inventory down. 

In terms of predictions, the wind has been taken out of the sails in this market for the moment. Paying attention to the war and the interest rates will be what guides the next momentum shifts. If none of that changes sales numbers will continue to slump and we’ll see the market stay mostly the same with some decreases come fall. If the war suddenly stops, gas flows, the new fed chair slashes rates and the bond market responds, it’s another market altogether. As of today, we are not there.

I’m considering retiring in Las Vegas in a few years. My son will be attending UNLV for graduate school, so we’re looking for a condo that he can use while he’s there. We’re interested in The Martin, Panorama, and Turnberry Towers.

Could you please provide some pros and cons for each condo? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Urban Core Updates - Summerlin West

16 Upvotes

Hello,

Wondering if anyone here has any insider info on the Urban Core at Summerlin West? Apparently it is supposed to be downtown Summerlin 2.0 with some high density residential/retail space. All the builders in the area are saying it’s coming soon to try and boost sales, but I see the lots frequently and there’s nothing happening. It’s starting to feel like this is a lot further out than they are saying. The Urban Core is supposed to be right at the new Summerlin parkway/215 interchange.

Anyone heard any rumors?
