Why Do Lenders Accept Short Sales in Las Vegas

In the Las Vegas real estate market right now we are seeing a great deal of short sales on the market. Short sales are different then foreclosures in Las Vegas. a Short sale is when a lender agrees to take a home that they have a loan on back that is actually less then what the loan amount is for. They would do this in hopes of actually saving money in the long run. Lenders have a great deal of fees and costs for taking a home on a short sale. They have to turn around and sell the home themselves. Ideally a lender would not take back a home however they will consider this option if they can see that by allowing the homeowner to go into foreclosure status it would actually cost them more then just taking it up front and turning around and selling it.

Doing a Short sale in Las Vegas is a complicated process for the average homeowner. Fortunately there are qualified Las Vegas real estate agents that specialize in Short sales and Foreclosures that you can contact to help explain the process and give you the best options.

If you are looking to buy a foreclosure or short sale you too need to contact a Las Vegas real estate agent because there are processes and procedures that you need to be aware of as well.

I just got through reading a great article on Realtytimes.com that all homebuyers should be aware of. If you've got a sweet deal on a Las Vegas home right now you had better make a jump on it right now. The future holds for Las Vegas less square footage in homes and higher construction costs. What does that mean?

After this excess inventory is absorbed in the next year new homes that are going to be built will be built smaller, due to increased construction costs, and the builders need to compete in the market. For the price of the size of home you can get now  you will be lucky to get 3/4 of that in the coming years. With all of the other population and job growth projections I am sure you can see the need to call up your Las Vegas Realtor and get in the car now!

Selling Las Vegas Real Estate Fast!

Now, more then ever you need to be competitive and aggressive in the sale of your Las Vegas house. With more and more competition popping up everyday you need to find a way to stand out in the crowd. Here are a few ideas to talk to your Las Vegas real estate agents about...

1. Offer Incentives - Home buyers in Las Vegas are looking for more then a "DEAL" they are looking for a "STEAL"! As a home seller you want to help the buyers feel that way. Offer to cover buyers closing costs. These costs can be as much as 2%-3% of the buyer's loan amount. At the rate that home prices are declining that $6,000-$10,000 could be considered an investment as it will save you more money in the long run.

2. Pay Loan Points - Not only is getting into a home at a great price attractive to buyers but doing so on a great loan is very enticing. Instead of paying for someone's closing costs, offer to pay that money towards the buyers loan to help bring down their rate. Better yet, offer any buyer a 5% loan. You can decide ahead of time with your own preapproved lender and Las Vegas Realtor what the costs are going to be and advertise this to homeowners. That will generate some serious buyers.

3. Home Warranty - Having a home warranty is pretty common in a Las Vegas real estate transaction. We just want to remind you of the importance of providing your buyers with that kind of security.

4. No Gimmicks - Get away from offering cars, T.V.'s, vacations, or anything else that breaths gimmicks. People in Las Vegas that are home shopping are doing just that, shopping for a home. Help them get into YOUR home with incentives that benefit that transaction. Instead of spending money on that T.V. how bout doing a little crown molding or a couple hundred dollars of landscaping to increase the curb appeal.

Selling Las Vegas homes is really an art. Your Las Vegas Realtor will have some great ideas as to what can help you. If you would like to see a video about tips that can help you, check out "Top Tips: Selling your home" on CNNmoney.com
