referrals: I get asked: Do you have loans available for Canadian Buyers in Las Vegas? - 02/23/11 02:33 PM
Since I have been attracting alot of Canadians to my Las Vegas Real Estate links, the number 1 question I get in my first discussion is "Do you have loans available for Canadian Buyers in Las Vegas?"
The Answer is Yes! We can do loans here, for Canadian Buyers. Here are the Options:
1. If you are a Canadian Citizen you can declare your Las Vegas Property you buy as a second home. The down payment would be 35%.
2. If a Canadian Citizen has business dealings in Las Vegas, they may be able to establish permanent residency or there are … (0 comments)

It sure is interesting what mid-term elections can do to begin to change your outlook on life here in the good old USA. A lot of political items need to be settled before the first of the year, but I'm keeping the faith that all will go in the right direction by then. But I do have one question:
"If the Bush Tax Cuts aren't extended or compromised on by the end of 2010, do we change the name to the Obama Tax Increase beginning to 2011?"
Please send your feedback and encouragement to your United States Senator and/or your United States Congressman.

Dear Reader,
You may remember that the last blog I posted was after I thought I had a client scheduled for October 24, but it was really supposed to be the 31st and I wondered if this ever happened to you. There must have been something in my subject line to trigger opening because that e-mail has been opened and clicked more than any of the others I have sent.
In fact, my readership numbers have been steadily increasing for the past year and I want to THANK all of you who read. My goal is to organize information about the … (2 comments)

Is the Poster Child for the Busted Housing Market coming Back to Life?
(Let's look at the Big Picture!)
I'm passing along 2 articles today. The first one was published in the Las Vegas Review Journal last week by Lew Sichelman.
The Housing Scene: Average Home Prices Across Dip, Las Vegas Up Slightly 
As I have said in previous letters, Las Vegas, now considered to be a large market by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, is beginning to see prices move up slightly (year over year) in homes valued from $100 to $249,000. Homes that are priced from $250,000 to … (4 comments)

Finally! Some clarity to the situation!
I'm forwarding a link to a very well written article, by Frank Geary, published in today's Las Vegas Review Journal. The article is entitled:
IS THE HOMEOWNER HOME?: Who's living there? Owner-occupied houses decline in Clark County
The article does a really good job of telling us what's transpired during the past 6 years in this market, where we are today and, hopefully, where we are headed.
But, as usual, I can't help myself and have some comments, on the article, that I would like to share from the trenches because, Franks right, Foreclosures … (0 comments)

Las Vegas Home Prices to Increase
I have a Las Vegas Sun article, authored by Buck Wargo that I would like to share if you have not seen it yet. Click here--> Economist: Las Vegas home prices to go up slightly in '11
Wow! A bold prediction on Bucks part. As I wrote in an earlier e-mail, the Homes priced from $90,000 to $200,000 are stable and creeping up a bit.
The homes from $201,000 to $500,000 are really good buys and are not dropping like they were and there are some really good loan packages for them. Homes priced from … (1 comments)

Summerlin Las Vegas News to Share
I have a Las Vegas Sun article, authored by Steve Green that I would like to share if you have not seen it yet.
Click here-à Land Plans Signal Growth in Summerlin
The good news is that it appears that Summerlin is headed for a growth spurt that many of us who work and live here have been waiting for. The bad news is that these projects are coming on the heels of a bankruptcy filing by General Growth Properties. So while these projects aren't finalized yet, I'm gratified that these kinds of discussions are … (0 comments)

referrals: Las Vegas Foreclosures...An Interesting Process for Learning - 06/02/08 04:01 PM

 
It was quite and April and May for Las Vegas Valley Real Estate. So far June doesn’t seem to be slowing down. It’s a GREAT market for buyers! Homes currently in escrow that are scheduled to close have doubled over the past 2 months. That’s the good news! The not so good news is that all the homes on the market from foreclosures are keeping prices down. So if you’re a seller that’s not in a hurry, WAIT!
Now, a thought or several about the buying process for a foreclosure. I have shown well over 100 foreclosures and put … (0 comments)

Dear Reader,
On January 15, 2008, I sent an e-mail and the Subject Line was
"I can feel the Real Estate Market Start to Turn in Las Vegas"
I received a lot of feedback on that e-mail. The most I have ever received! Mostly from readers with an opposing point of view accusing me of being way too optimistic and that there will be no way out of this mess for at least 2 more years. One person even suggested that I find another career. That was a little drastic, but I'm a big girl and I can take it. Plus, … (1 comments)

When I meet prospects and new clients, I make it a point to ask the question: "How did you happen to call today?  Did you see my printed ads or find me on the Internet?"

It has been said that the three most important factors in real estate are: Location, location, and location. One of the cardinal rules of real estate sales is to "Know Your Product." I know the Las Vegas Valley.
Because of my experience with RE/MAX I can honestly say that I know the neighborhoods around the Las Vegas Valley "Just Like My Own."  In fact, if you want to know about a neighborhood, whether it's your own, or another, please visit my web site at http://www.marykennedylasvegas.com/ and look at the maps, recent home sales, and homes for sale.

Part of my job as a real estate professional is to listen to my customer's "Wish List" and then work to find a home that grants those wishes.
With each new customer comes a whole new set of "Wishes." Some want a home in the country with five bedrooms and a family room big enough to play volleyball. And some others want a small home in the suburbs with two bathrooms and a formal dining room.  No matter what type of property you are looking for, you'll find it on my web site at www.MaryKennedyLasVegas.com.  You can even build your dream … (0 comments)
