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!!

Renee...while I think 60% cash is nice...my issue is I would like to see the banks free up some more and get the money moving in the mid end of the market.

I think the sellers market will be showing up in much higher prices for Las Vegas homes. I'm not sure that this high of a percentage of cash buyers is good for the community, in most cases that means investors are still controlling the market, instead of traditional buyers who intend to live in the house.

Looks like cash is still ruling the Las Vegas area real estate market, Renee.

Thanks all for the comments!

Agreed with all of you that cash is burning up the distressed inventory and driving prices up yet it becomes a community of rentals rather than homeowners!
