henderson: Properties listed 20-40% under market value. - 08/21/07 12:25 PM
I've discovered a search method to find properties in Las Vegas that are listed under market value (Comps) and even quite a few that are under a recent, 3 month or less, appraisal or under comparable sales in the last 3 months. I am using the 3 month guidline as I am seeing that more and more lenders are tightening up their appraisal guidlines to only allow comps from within the last 3 months.
Some examples:
Priced at 849,000 - Appraised at 1.1M. That is about 23% under. I even talked to the appraiser and he will still put it at an easy 1.1M today, … (0 comments)

henderson: Foreclosure Open House Number 2 - 07/06/07 10:33 AM
I finally recorded another video podcast from one of the foreclosure, bank owned open houses that I do. This one, unlike the last one, is in need of some repair. SERIOUS REPAIR. I think the previous occupants owned stock in a tobacco company as it smells like they smoked about 7 packs an hour.
This house is located in Henderson off of Sunset and Eiger. It is a townhome with 1200 sq ft, 2 bedrooms upstairs each with their own bath, loft, 1/2 bath downstairs and a decent sized kitchen considering the sq ft. while still leaving a good sized living room … (0 comments)

henderson: Las Vegas Real Estate Stats... Do the math. - 05/30/07 11:15 AM
I'm going to show you some numbers that will give an idea of what is really happening with the Las Vegas housing market and not a bunch of speculative PR junk. At the end, however, I will do a sales pitch. ;) 
25,018 Homes, Condos and Townhomes for sale in the Las Vegas valley (Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, etc. not including Boulder City or Pahrump) GLVAR MLS right now.
2,117 solds in the las 30 days.
That gives an absorption rate of 11.82.
What that means is a property listed today should sell in about 11 to 12 months... in a mathematical world where no new listings are taken. Some other factors to consider are area, … (0 comments)

henderson: This weekend.... SUMMER STARTS!!!! - 05/25/07 11:06 AM
Memorial Day marks the traditional beginning of summer and the start of the most popular season in real estate. If you're in the market for a new home, get a jump start by getting pre-approved for a loan by a trusted mortgage broker.
Buying a home can be an overwhelming process. A pre-approved loan agreement outlines what you can afford to buy, so when the time comes to start shopping you and your real estate agents have a set price range to follow in finding your perfect home.
