Las Vegas Area Homes for Sale

Cash REMAINS KING in the Las Vegas Area Real Estate Market!!!  It is important for every buyer in the Las Vegas Area Real Estate Market to understand who their buyer competition is in this currently competitive seller's market LV is enjoying!  It is important to understand how a seller looks at each financing type:

Cash Offers:  Generally have less contingencies and quicker close times.  A cash offer may be accepted even if it is lower than a financed offer.

Conventional Financing:  Less strict with lender required repairs but larger down payments and more strict credit guidelines.

FHA/VA Financing:  Requires more scrutiny with lender required repairs via appraisal.  In general these take longer to underwrite and close so a cash or conventional offer looks more enticing to the seller.  FHA Requires the deed to be seasoned for several months so some flips bought at trustee's sales are generally out as options when competing with multiple offers!

Other:  Less common and creative financing types such as Lease Options, OWC (Owner Will Carry), etc.  The "other" category INCLUDES auction terms!!

Really Renee...cash should have always been king...if it was we likely would not have been in this mess in the first place. Great post on your area as always.

Renee Cash being 47% pf the Las Vegas market must be the leader throughout the US - certainly more than Northern Virginia

Renee - looks like the %s of each type of purchase have remained fairly consistent. Not sure our CASH % is that high, but certainly in some market segments it is. Is that across the board or more at the "lower" end?

Renee,

Cash buyers are easily endeared by REO sellers for all the reasons you mentioned.

Great analysis,

Renee - It's interesting how similar our markets are; cash is king, but conventional loans always beat out FHA in Wellington.

Jeff:  Definitely more in the lower end!  Our cash % is rising each month due to all the first time buyer pent up demand exhausted with the tax credit!

janeAnne:  Thanks!

Steve & Joel:  Yep!

Micchelle:  Its becoming more true.  FHA used to be much higher but is dropping dramatically!

FHA loans often lose out to conventional financing and almost always lose to cash.  It's really tough for FHA buyers--I have a teacher client and she is getting so discouraged after missing out on several properties.

Norma:  I had a teacher client too and we contracted second week of January after writing some 20 odd offers last year!  Tell her there is hope on the horizon!

Renee - THe day will come when banks will allow individuals to compete with investors. It just may not happen in our lifetime. I'm ok with dealing with cash
