Is it really a BAD Market?

Is it really a bad market or just a Buyers Market?

All of our clients who have purchased either a resale, bank foreclosure or new home have been pretty happy with the incentives and results.

Are my Sellers happy? "No" especially if they have to sell. They feel like they are wading out into waist deep waters knowing there are sharks swimming around. If they are not priced close to market most of them are getting offers 20% below asking. So not happy.

In 1999,2000,2001,2002.2003 it was a Sellers Market and Buyers were paying over asking and getting into bidding wars. The Buyers weren't happy when they were buying but in 6 months when they put that home back are the market and Flipped it for a nice profit, they turned into a Seller and they were happy.

Really, is there a Bad market or just a Buyers Market and Sellers Market. The market shifts back and forth almost like one of those wave machines that sits on your desk. It is sure to shift the other way.

Las Vegas continues to have about 6,000 new residents a month and tourism is maxing out McCarren Airport. There are many new residential and condo hotels on the verge of hitting the market AND MGM Mirage City Center is moving along nicely. By the way have you heard, City Center II on the north end of the Strip...

If you are buyer who is looking for something specific in Las Vegas give us a call we will research it to let you know if it is available and at what price. There are one bedroom units on the strip available for around 400k. Just give us a buzz

The Strand Lofts Coming to Las Vegas 2008

The Avenue is almost ready for move-ins and Wolfson Lofts is already planning another boutique Ultra Loft development in Las Vegas.

There aren't many details surrounding the new project The Strand but if it is anything like The Avenue it will be top notch.

Based on the Avenue there should be under 10 units so these will be reserved quickly. These probably are not units that you would purchase primarly as an investment to resell for a profit but an investment to live in based on the development's overall coolness.

For more info email or call me.

Urban Lofts Moving forward with Fremont Lofts

The fact that developers are building lofts in Las Vegas is great for locals who want a very untraditional home to live in. Pink Stucco houses with a 2 car garage and postage stamp of a backyard are a dime a dozen but a true loft with soaring ceilings and wide open spaces allows of True Living Space, IMHO.

The guys over at Urban Lofts are starting phase two of 11th Street Lofts a hybrid project - part loft, part townhouse but definitely hip and trendy. The only downside the project is being built east of Fremont street experience. The downtown revitalization is in progress but we won't see it spreading east for a while.

Urban Lofts 2nd project Fremont Street lofts is set to break ground shortly in the same area.

If you want an affordable, very hip loft/townhouse we would be glad to tour you on this property and other loft properties in Vegas. For more info go to www.nvlofts.com and find out why Olivia is your loft specialist in Las Vegas.

What is going on with Las Vegas Real Estate?

What is the state of the housing market in Las Vegas?

Buyers are having great time bargain hunting and finding deals on new homes. Resale’s - hit and miss based on sellers willingness to negotiate their price, many of whom are reluctant to lower prices because they are under water. Some because they refinanced and pulled cash out and with the slow down they have lost value and now owe more than the home is worth. Others of course went the route of negative amortization loans thinking they could flip or refi at a lower rate when the time came only to find, the time came and the rates went up and values down.

Many sellers are frozen and unwilling to listen to market data or their REALTORS®. The bottom line is if a seller NEEDS to sell - they may need to make concessions to sell the property. This is what developers are doing by offering huge buyer incentives like closing costs, upgrades, and back yard landscaping. Developers are also offering large realtor co-ops so re sale homes are competing against this factor as well.

Many sellers are testing the market and are not serious about selling unless it is at asking price AND on their terms even when the recent sales indicate a buyer could buy twice the home for half the cost elsewhere.

There is a collision either way with Buyers writing offers 20% or 30% under the asking price and Sellers listing their property over market comparisons adding in 2004 unrealized appreciation.

All of this contributed to an almost all time record of resale’s on the market in May, with over 23,000 homes listed for sale and a 2.8% decrease in the median home price from a year ago down to $301,352. And with only 1568 recorded sales in the month of May, sales are down 38.7%.

It's not pretty, Nevada leads the nation in foreclosures and nearly half the resales on the market are sitting vacant. I see out of state investors unwilling or unable to pay a property manager and unable to handle renting or maintenance and turnover long distance, so the property remains unrented and vacant. In the long run, this vacancy costs more, but many investors jumped into the hot real estate market with little to no experience and high hopes of making big bucks. Many did so without the assistance of a professional realtor and the foreclosures and short sales we are seeing is a result of that.

On the up side, in a buyers market like we have today, there are some great opportunities for an investor to buy low. Sitting down with a realtor to be educated about the market and discuss your long term investment goals can make all the difference in the right purchase. There hasn't been a better time to buy in the past 30 years, and despite the foreclosure rate there are still 100% loan programs and even some down payment assistance programs for owner occupied homes.

Call me today to get info on breaking deals.

22 Parkside Lofts

A gem nestled amonst some older homes is a new community called 22 Parkside. It is actually a sister property of Stone Canyon Lofts.

If you havent seen some of the new single family loft homes at Stone Canyon Lofts you are missing out. They are very untraditional but very cool equipped with roof top decks and floor to ceiling windows.

This may not appeal to everyone but to me it is pretty awesome. Loft living allows tons of light and open spaces.

If you would like to visit this property or possible check for resales at Stone Canyon please do not hesitate to call me at 702-372-2671

Thanks for stopping by

Renaissance bought out of foreclosure for $3.5 million

Club Renaissance bought out of foreclosure for $3.5 million as reported on March 23 on the ReviewJournal.com Website.

This project has been twisting in the wind for a while with rumors floating the plans to potential investors around the valley. It's time has come to make way for a development that might actually get built downtown.

According to the article, financing was its biggest problem. More to come on the genesis of the Renaissance.

According to the Review Journal The Verge formally Aquintina Lofts was slated to be a Senior Housing Complex but due to escalating contruction costs had to be tabled in lieu of a more profitable venture.

The Verge is currently taking reservations for units starting at $141k.

This project is unique due to is location on Main and Bonanza.
