Additionally, the "official" Clark county unemployment rate is now 10% and growing (Link). This bleak Las Vegas employment trend will certainly cause the housing cancer to metastasize - increasing foreclosures and causing prices to fall further.

Randy, Here is the link for the S&P Case-Shiller Index. You can see where Vegas is as of December 2008 and then trace back to see that housing prices are now at August 2003 levels. A new report comes out every month around Tuesday of the last week. You can also add your own moving average (I use a 12 month moving average) to see the decline. When and if prices move back above the MA, then it may be time to buy.
