Las Vegas REO/Bank Owned/Repo-Should you buy 1? TIPS-well maybe-Must have a lot of CASH or ???

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 11:06:21 -0500

Time, Patience, Perseverance-Beware, this is a long post.

Buyers need to understand that it can be a frustrating process and may not be the right fit for everyone.

Yes, there are a lot of homes on the market at any given time, but there are also a lot of buyers and investors out there right now due to the prices coming down so much over the last 6 months and they are all looking at and competing for these deals.

For example: You may see 4 bank owned homes that say on the websites they are for sale, (they have the "ER" usually), but what you don't know is:

A: The bank may have 5-10 offers already on each of those homes and is countering on each offer until they have reached the price they want, and each one of those offers may not know the bank is also countering on all the others.

B: The bank is in process of signing the best offer they picked and they have told the listing agents that they are not to accept any more offers.

C: The listing agent is so swamped they haven't had a chance to go and change that "ER" to a "P" or "C" indicating they have a signed accepted offer on the property.

D: Some of the homes are already slated for an upcoming auction and the bank is not taking any offers until the auction.

E: The property has been "pulled" for an investor package deal of several homes and the one you want is in that package.

So as your agent representing you as the buyer, you can see I have a lot of things to do and research, calls, email, etc, before I ever show you that first house.

I explain to clients up front that the reality is normally the bank wants top dollar and a quick close.

Which usually means:

#1: A Cash offer will most likely be 1st choice followed by

#2: Conventional and then

#3: FHA.

Most of the homes that are in fairly decent condition and are priced under $300,000 already have multiple offer after day 2, so you need to be prepared to put in your "BEST" offer the 1^st time up front. Most are not even going to look at an offer that is contingent on selling your other home first.

Depending on the home and the area, even offering above list price, does not guarantee that your offer will be the winning one.

Many homes are being priced really low to entice the multiple offers. It is not uncommon to hear about 10 or more offers on some of these homes.

Time frame for a bank to respond to an offer can be a few days (4-7 Business days) up to you may never get a response from them on the offer. Most buyers at first say "ok" I'll wait, but by day 5 they can't take the wait of not knowing any longer, clients I am currently working with can attest to this. I know this is a long time to wait, but it is a fact of how things are going right now.

Banks also have many "hoops" they want you "the Buyer" to jump thru, long before they ever even sign any your offer. They usually will require the buyer sign documents stating "they" can and will continue to take offers until they decide to pick the best one and sign it. Many say the bank has the right to cancel the contract right up until the sale date, but you can‘t. Some make you pay for the transfer tax and all home owners association fees and documents. So, decide up front how many days you are willing to wait on a response from the bank, let your agent know, put it in the offer and be ready to move on to the next house as soon as the time frame is up. You should prepare yourself that you may have to put offers on 3-4 different homes before you get 1.

Buyers need to understand that about 75% of the homes need some form of repair, some may only need a bit of paint to a complete rehab, and you are buying the home "As Is" and the bank is not going to do any repairs. The pictures on the internet may look good until you get to out there to see it yourself. Most need 1 or more new appliances. Most have nics on the walls, few holes here and there and need to be some paint. Most have been sitting vacant for 6 months or more so the landscape will most likely be dead or close to it.

You need to decide before you go out looking, how much time/money/work you want to put into the home.

Here are just a few ?'s to ask yourself:

Do I have time on my current lease to stay in it until I can fix the home before I move in?

Do I want to buy a home that I have to replace all the carpet?

How much painting do I want to have to do, or pay to have it done?

How much and how many appliances can I afford to replace?

Will the type of loan I'm getting allow me to buy a repo?

What closing cost expenses and how much am I willing to pay if the bank won't pay them.

These are just some of the things a buyer needs to be aware of up front and I don't want to scare any one off from trying to buy a bank owned home, but the more informed you are the better off you will be.

Centennial Hills, Las Vegas, Nv. Community Area Suburb Relocating? Does this area interest you?

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 22:35:40 -0500

Centennial Hills is a suburb of Las Vegas, located in the upper NorthWest part of Las Vegas, Nv. Take 95 Northwest from downtown.

If you are looking to live in an area that is not to close to the strip, but still provides most everything one could want in a community, then Centennial Hills might be a good fit for you & your family.

Just like any other suburb, there is a commute of about 20-30 minutes depending on time of day & what part of town you are coming from or heading to. Many hear about it from the car ads on the radio & tv.

There are many new home communitys and several master plan communitys such as Providence & Alianta. It is a hop, skip & a jump away from the entrance to Kyle Canyon/Mt Charleston. You can get everything from a condo for about $90,000 to a mansion in the area.

There isn't a day go by that we see new construction of some kind. Maybe the new homes, the roads, schools, stores, parks,etc. The new HOV lane on the freeway. Lots of new parks popping up all the time. The new YMCA, the future library and more.

Good ol' Floyd Lamb Park, soon to change hands

I have been in this area going on 5 years now & the growth up here has been booming. I have been in Vegas long enough to remember when Ann Rd off the 95 got the gas station. Most of the horse/ATV trails have been replaced with homes. There are still some areas for riding and some homes on very large lots, even horse property.

Many of us have waited for the Centennial Hills hospital to open & it is finally open now. Now we are awaiting our new mall, which has been redesigned and as of now will take some lead from the likes of Town Center & The District at least that is the latest idea.

We still have many shops in the area even without the mall. Kohls, Target, Ross, Albertson, Smiths,Kirklands,Pier 1,Walmart, just to name a few.

And, places to eat! OMGosh! There are so many, I haven't been able to try them all!

Aliante Station Casino is due to open the end of 2008. Until then enjoy the newly remolded Sante Fe Casion nearby.

It is a bit higher elevation and we have some breathtaking views of the city from almost any place on the roads up here. Sunsets & Sunrises are just awesome! Below is a sunrise!

There are many services in the area as well, day spas, vets, quick care, doctors, dentists,etc.

While there are a lot of new things to see and do in the area, there are many old time favorites places like Gilcrease Orchard, Floyd Lamb Park, Bob Taylor's Ranch House

If you would like more information on the area or have any questions feel free to email me or give me a call.

LAS VEGAS, SUMMERLIN Home Sales are picking up-Not all Doom & Gloom

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 14:01:05 -0500

Did you hear the news? Las Vegas sales for Feb 2008 are up approx 11.7% over Jan 2008, according to GLVAR sources.

Not surprising to me as I have been out showing homes in Summerlin & Green Valley & putting in offers only to find out the home has 4-6 other offers on it as well! Of course, this is very frustrating to my buyers, but we wait, and wait on a response to our offers, then we counter or put in our best and highest offer, and we wait and wait some more, only to find out we were outbid! So we move on to the next home and start all over. This seems to be most prevalent on homes priced under $300,000.

So folks, it is not all doom and gloom, homes are selling, just at a slower pace than the boom times and at much lower prices,(great for buyers, stinks for sellers-unless they have owned their home for quite a while).

Days on market seems to be picking up on some homes as well. Again, those that are priced right are always the ones to go first. But many buyers who have been sitting on the sidelines are starting to realize this might be the JUMP IN time to start looking & put in their offer.

I'm sure we will still have a rough year compared to the recent boom of the past few, but in the long run this will most likely be the best for housing and the consumer.

Due to the beautiful climate we have over the next month or two, coupled with historically great interest rates, lower home prices than a year ago and still many resale homes to choose from, I anticipate March sales to be up.

Keeping up the faith & hanging tough in Vegas,

Dawn
