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!!

It's amazing that 1/2 of your area's sales are cash buyers. I'm going to have to run that search here to see what our percentages are. I'll bet that less than 10% are cash sales in my neck of the woods.

Interestingly I took the hint from you and look at our transactions YTD in San Diego for 2011 - 46% cash deals county wide so far this year. For 2010 all year the % was less, 32%. Interesting trend.

Renee - This is a great explanation of the local market sales trends. Buyers using financing some times cannot understand certain dynamics of the market. You have explained it here.

Renee, I am sooo jealous of your great graphics! I haven't had the time to sit and figure it out. One of the days, hopefully!

Renee, You would think that cash deals would be an easier transaction with an accepted offer, but we were just turned down with an all cash deal offer. The other offer was $1,500 more, and was being financed and the seller accepted that offer instead of our cash offer ~ go figure!

Thanks all for the comments!

Larry & Sheila:  If that were my sellers in thsi environment I would tell them to roll with the cash buyers and a quick close.  Forget the $1500 more!  You could waste more than that on time, lender required repairs and low appraisals.  Big gamble to net such a pittance!

Jeff:  I am surprised yours is that high!  Definitely signs of investor activity!

Craig:  JUST DO IT!!

Renee - I think Las Vegas might have beat us with cash buyers this time.
