Las Vegas Real Estate Market Snapshot
8.6.2007
Created by RE/MAX Advantage
Headline
Listing inventory shows very small gain.
Only 11
more homes on the market this week versus this week. That is the good news.
Pending sales continue a 6 week decline
and the Pending Index hits a year low for the 3rd time in 4 weeks. July's
total closings (1586) were the lowest for the year. July is normally the most
active month for closings over the last 5 years. Repo and shortsale homes
continue to increase their portion of the market with now an estimated 18% of
the total homes on the market.
Look for the market to continue to shrink in sales as credit continues to
tighten. American Home Mortgage filed for Bankruptcy in the last 7 days ‐ a
top 5 retail and
wholesale lender. More are sure to follow as investors are not plentiful in
the mortgage securities market. Loan qualifying will continue to become
increasingly difficult and programs will require down payments. I forecast
home prices to accelerate depreciation trends for the near future while the
money markets settle.
