Review Journal article written by Hubble Smith
I would like to comment on the article on Shorts Sales in Las Vegas, Nevada is no longer a Niche Market. It is interesting that there has been a increase in the number of closings of short sales, 16% in October from the first quarter of only 8% short sale closings. The pending contracts that are in escrow for short sale approval is a very slow process and is fraught with perils for the buyer and the seller. The peril for the buyer is the time it takes to get approval or denial is … (3 comments)
