Mesquite Nevada Homes For Sale

Mesquite Nevada homes for sale will be less affected by new regulations in lending and underwriting than many markets. The City of Mesquite recently spent around $80,000 on a Buxton study, to be used as a tool be promote Mesquite Nevada commercial development.

The study points out that 65% of the locals are above 45 years old, and the three highest demographic categories are called "Conservative Classics, Affluent Empty Nesters, and Cautious Couples". Virtually all came here from somewhere else, and as you might gather from the names, they are retirees.

While they are not immune to lender standards and rules, they tend, in general to have good credit and stable incomes. They can and do generally put 20% or more as a down payment. The more conservative nature of many of these folks leads to less leveraged debt and stronger net worth.

Mesquite Nevada real estate is being developed with the assistance of a very well thought-out master plan with current inventory estimates as high 14,000 vacant lots. It is laid out to be appealing and functional. The past speculative boom is creating a more affordable market as well. Home building competition will likely increase, providing a good supply and a competitive market balance for many years to come.

This supply and planning combined with the very desirable climate, proximity to many natural resources, lack of state income taxes, and Las Vegas will continue to draw the retiring baby boomer generation well into 2020.

As mortgage money becomes more difficult to borrow for many buyers, the crowd headed to play in the Sun Shine in Mesquite Nevada most likely will hardly notice the new regs.

Mesquite Nevada real estate might be the place for you. This great real estate environment does not, of course, change the fact that you still need an agent working for you, and you still need to know the recent sold comps (including the foreclosures) and those prices per square foot.

Sounds like good news for Mesquite. Having been there and Las Vegas many times in the past 20 years plus, I am constantly amazed as to where the cities in there think they are going to get all the water it takes to sustain that kind of population increase? May be you can shed some light on that?

Sure Alan,

Mesquite gets all of the water we use from wells, we are currently using around 6000 acre feet per year. The most recent hydrology studies indicate we have a recharge rate of some where in the neighborhood of 80,000+ acre feet per year in our basin. The local water company owns or has priority to most all of that water. We believe we have plenty of water for the planned growth. One other thing, we are very good as a community at conservation.

Las Vegas on the other hand is different, most of that water comes from the Colorado River, Lake Mead. I am not qualified to really give you an opinion about where that might be going.

Chris - People hear about the water shortages in Las Vegas and assume that we are using the same water supply - it is a nice surprise to them when we tell them how low our water bills are.  Using recycled water for irrigation makes a big difference, too.

I think that the Mesquite NV Real Estate Market is stabilizing very well.  As you said above, we have a conservative crowd looking at Mesquite as a desireable retirement destination and they are not affected by the tightening loan standards.  Our first time buyers and move up buyers need our help, though.

Thanks Virginia and your right, that was a big surprise for me, the low water cost. We should mention what we are irrigating with recycled water, Mesquite's BEAUTIFUL GOLF COURSES!
