Nye County has shown continued growth for many years. Land sales have occurred throughout the county but predominantly in the Pahrump Valley, which has grown by leaps and bounds. The majority of the property sold is vacant land with no liveable structures. This is followed by single-family homes. In 2006, 3,170 of the 4,699 properties sold were vacant land, while 1,368 were single-family homes, 87 were multi-residential, 55 commercial, and 17 rural.

Of the 4,699 properties sold within Nye County in 2006, 4,213 of them were sold within the Pahrump Valley. This reflects 92% of the property sales. When the population of each town is taken into account, these numbers are brought into perspective. Pahrump, which has the most land sales, is the largest town with a 2006 population of 36,645. Tonopah, though it has the next largest population of 2,600 is 4th in land sales behind Amargosa and Round Mountain/Smoky Valley. 'Other areas' represents outlying rural areas, not actually within a town.

Average costs of property is very difficult to calculate as property differs in value based on location within the county, age of buildings, acreage of land sold with associated buildings, etc. These items are not factored in here. The average reflected here is based solely upon type of property sold and location.

Note: Averages may not always represent a clear picture of cost as age of home, size of property, etc. are not factored in. Being rural in nature, some homes sell with large parcels of land.
