Summerlin · Trading Up
Moving up in Summerlin
Moving into a bigger home, with the sale and the purchase planned in the right order.
Room to grow inside Summerlin
Summerlin is big enough that many move-up buyers never leave it. They move from one Summerlin community to another, trading a smaller home for more space, a newer build, or a view toward the Red Rock mountains. Homes were built from 1996 onward, so moving up can also mean moving newer.
Your budget
We start with a CMA on your current home, from Summerlin homes like it, to estimate your equity. With a lender's pre-approval, that gives you a price range and a monthly payment. For context, homes in Summerlin's non-55+ communities started from about $448,000 as of September 2026, and larger homes and view homes sit well above that.
Order of moves
Sell first and buy with money in hand. One of our clients stayed in a weekly rental for about a month between closings. Or line up the two closings closely, or buy first if you can carry both homes. We'll walk through all three with your numbers. Your current home gets our full selling process. See selling in Summerlin.
Choosing the next home
We'll compare Summerlin communities by age, price, HOA dues (from about $37 a month in The Willows, and varying by community) and views. Use the due diligence period, usually 10 days in Nevada, to inspect. See our trading up page and higher-end homes in Summerlin. Start with your numbers.
