Las Vegas Short Sales For Sale

The absorption rate for Las Vegas Valley Area Short Sales is finally seeing movement.  Absorption still remains high BUT has recently moved under the 1 year mark.  Solds have FINALLY gone from hovering the 200 unit mark and went over the 400 mark.  I see improvement in this sector! Inventory has decreased  (-84 units).  Pending units have increased by +737 units.    Solds have increased by +33 units.  Absorption down by 0.9 months

There are many reasons for the lack of closings in this market and it is outlined in this post

Short Sale Synopsis:

  • Listings 9/15/2009: 4718
  • Pending 9/15/2009: 8020

Renee, Vegas has been dealing with this for what seems like forever. I hope it will keep getting better. Short sales are going to be the death of us folks in the escrow biz. Keep the faith!

This is good news!  Over the past 4 months, we've seen a stailization in the Grand Rapids, MI market too. And for the first time in a long time, prices inched upwards every so slightly.

Renee:

I think short sales are moving by us a bit too. It is the fact that the banks are getting faster in some instances here. If they get the paper work it is starting to move. Also it seems the price issues are slowly getting solved so that there is a better handle on the market.

Renee,

Your pie charts are the best in the business. Period. Always like to know how the numbers come out.

Renee - As much as I've read about short sales / foreclosures, these numbers are still stunning.  You have more short sales than we have active listings in the entire MLS.  Glad to hear things are moving, but wow.  BTW, great new pic!

Wow Renee, I had to do a double take to recognize who I had on my subscribers list.  I seen the new photo and thought 'who the heck is that?'  I really should update mine too I suppose, lol.

Cool pic, Renee. Had to comment on THAT, of course.  Between you and Brian Brady, it must be the thing to do today. Hmmm.

Oh, BTW, good work on the stats, too! Looks like things keep shifting in a positive way.

Renee,

Some decent news on Las Vegas valley short sales. Closed sales jumped nicely. This one will end up on my outsider.

Esko:  I believe that there is a change going on and many other agents felt that this week.  It seems like we are all making headway with these things all of a sudden!

Tom:  I hope you bring Lars so he can eat play with my Italian Greyhounds.
