Many would be buyers are on the sidelines as we approach the spring buying season.  Government intervention into the foreclosure debacle is sure to impact the market, not only in Las Vegas but throughout the hardest hit communities nationwide. The "Let's wait and see" outlook is pervasive.

Red Rock County Club in Las Vegas has not escaped the real estate downturn, prices are down sharply as are sales.  Sales statistics have once again proven that location is critical in any real estate transaction.

Listings in the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors show 122 active listings in the Country Club.  This number has held fairly steady over the last 12 months as the best opportunities have been picked up by buyers on the sidelines waiting for the opportunity to get in to Red Rock.

The beautiful coumunity of Red Rock County Club is built around two Arnold Palmer designed championship golf courses. If this community is of interest to you, or for more information on Red Rock Country Club visit www.VegasLuxuryLiving.com or contact us.

Only time will tell if the bailout of the two mortgage giants will help stabilize this troubled market.

One thing the taxpayer funded rescue does is remove the uncertainty existing on 50% of the outstanding loans nationwide.

Could this be the trigger that lays a foundation for a recovery of the mortgage market?

If history does indeed repeat itself, the answer is a resounding Yes.  I do not know a significant government bailout in the last century that has failed.

While it is unlikely to have an immediate impact, the taxpayer infused boost to the lending giants are sure to stabilize the lending markets in the intermediate to long term.

In places like Las Vegas, this is unlikely to give immediate relief to those seeking financing for products like high-rise condos and risky condo hotel units.  That being said, any relief is welcome.

The Howard Hughes Corporation has released initial renderings of the shopes at Summerlin Centre.  This billion dollar development will anchor Summerlin Centre.  Summerlin is located on the western edge of the Las Vegas valley has been among the most successful master planned communities in the nation over the past decade.

Summerlin is located on the land originally pruchased by Howard Hughes in the 1950's.  What was orginally envisioned as a massive avaition development facility has turned out quite different.  Thousands of Las Vegas residents now call Summerlin home.  Many consider Summerlin the preferred location for those looking to relocate to Las Vegas.

Residents in Red Rock Country Club which is located on the western edge of Summerlin, were initially on an island separated from the development of the city.  the city has grown west to the point where the only undeveloped land is the Summerlin Centre project.  Just south of Red Rock is the custom home development of The Ridges.  Here you will find some of the finest custom luxury homes available In Las Vegas.  For a closer look click on the link below and search luxury homes, then, The Ridges Las Vegas.

Summerlin Center will not be a Mall, but a living and cultural experience.  This project is out of the ground.  Phase one is scheduled for completion by the end of 2009. The initial renderings are most impressive.  Four major anchors will be surrounded by a multitude of dining and shopping opportunities. Combinded with the Red Rock Resort and Casino that joins the project to the north, we are talking about $2 Billion of commercial development in a 1/2 Sq. Mile area.

Red Rock Country Club is a 1300 home luxury home community located just west of Summerlin Centre and represents a tremendous opportunity to live at the outer edge of Summerlin and the Las Vegas valley, and a short drive or bike ride to the future Summerlin Centre.  For more information on Red Rock Country Club visit www.VegasLuxuryLiving.com or contact us direct at 702-360-6645.

While the number of foreclosures in the Las Vegas residential housing market is no secret, what is not widely reported is the short time most of the foreclosures spend on the market before they are placed under contract.

Even in this difficult lending environment properties are moving so quickly that it makes you wonder if savvy buyers have more confidence in the market than lenders and the press.

Case in Point:

In the luxury home community of Red Rock Country Club on the western edge of Las Vegas we have seen a steady stream of short sales and foreclosures.  The golf course homes in particular are being placed under contract quickly.  This is making sales for the non-distressed homes difficult.

It begs the question of how deep this down cycle will actually be in the Las Vegas market.  Tens of thousands of jobs are still being created, home builders have significantly reduced the rate of new home construction and short term flippers are being flushed out of the market.

Only time will tell, but it is quite possible that 2008 will be looked back upon as one of those periods in time where home-buyers will be wishing they had moved against the crowd.

Locals have been watching and amazed at the incredible rise of CityCenter for the past 2 years.  All the elements of the 66 acre project have been officially named except the most prominent structure.  The main casino and hotel.

Finally the massive 61 story hotel has a name, ARIA Resort & Casino.

Scheduled to open in December of 2009, ARIA Resort & Casino is the center of the most costly privately funded construction project in the history of mankind.  The most recent cost estimate from MGM Mirage, puts a $9.2 Billon price tag on the project. 

To put this in perspective one must remember that the Bellagio Resort and Casino was built for under $2 billion.

With the retrenchment of prices in the Las Vegas real estate market making headlines in local and national press, many are waiting and wondering when the market might reverse course.

For anyone looking for luxury housing in Las Vegas, the basic advice issued by the experts in stock market investing might be worth considering;  Never try to time the market.  Instead look at the fundamentals.  In time the market will find equilibrium.

The Fundamentals in the luxury home enclave of Red Rock County Club Las Vegas, couldn't be stronger.

• Prices have returned to the levels that existed prior to the speculative run-up of the early 2000's.
• Summerliin continues to be the #1 rated master planned community in the country.
• The premier location of Red Rock County Club is becoming more and more apparent with the build-out of Summerlin.

Red Rock Country Club is nestled at the base of the Spring Mountains on the western edge of the valley.  The community borders the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and is on elevated acreage that provides milder temperatures than the valley floor.  This elevation also give many homes wonderful city and mountain views.  The county club is near the perimeter beltway.  Transportation to the Strip and the airport is a snap.

Just south of Red Rock is the custom home village of The Ridges, here you will find some of the finest residential offerings in the city.

The master plan of Summerlin is continuing on schedule with the $1billion Shopes at Summerlin underway.  this high-end retail and lifestyle center will anchor the community with retail and residential offerings that will emphasise livability.

Not a day goes by when you wont find negative press about the state of the local real estate market in Las Vegas.  While most of these articles have statistics that anchor the demise of the local market, they also group the entire market into a single category.

This often distorts the big picture about the overall health of the market.

For example the sales office at MGM Mirage CityCenter recently raised prices on the remaining inventory for their luxury high-rise condos. Sales at CityCenter have been impressive and are approaching the $2billion mark.  This amazing city within a city is scheduled for completion in late 2009 and will be the most costly privately funded construction project ever.

The single family home market as a whole in experiencing a large number of foreclosures.  Investors in the mid range single family home market invaded the valley in the late stages of the real estate boom and are now paying the price. These short sales and foreclosures are being scooped up by savvy buyers who see strong job growth and a robust local economy as reasons to take advantage of the investor flop.

As is the case in many markets the higher priced area's are a different story. Communities like The Ridges Las Vegas, and Red Rock Country Club Las Vegas, on the western edge of the Las Vegas Valley are stable and have seen a much smaller number of distressed sales.

The main point is that large metropolitan area's like Las Vegas are complex and have many sub-markets.  To lump them into a single category doesn't tell the whole story.

We are Tom Garcia and Amy Garcia of Luxury Realty Group and the Garcia Group. we specialize in luxury home sales in the Ridges Las Vegas and Red Rock Country Club Las Vegas, as well as luxury high-rise condos in the resort corridor. Contact us for more information on luxury living in this dynamic city.
