Las Vegas real estate Nov. 2008 residential market statistics

(December 2008 Las Vegas real estate report)

Las Vegas home sales in Nov. 2008 were down -19.7% from October. Approximately 70% of these homes sales were foreclosures by banks (REO's). The median price of a Las Vegas home fell 2.1% in November from the previous month. It looks like we are going to continue to see additional listings hit the market in coming months as a new batch of R.E.O.'s continue to enter the market. I look for prices to continue their decent at least through January 2009.

The Federal Government estimates that we are just over half way through the sub-prime foreclosure crisis but now we are experiencing increased unemployment which will result in additional foreclosures. The number of sold homes in Las Vegas fell 19.7% which can be attributed to a slower economy as well as tight credit markets.

There is a substatial increase in U.S. investors and foreign investors buying in this market. Canadian retirees in particular are finding the Las Vegas homes as second homes and a great place to winter. Canadians have been very impressed with how much their dollar will buy in this temporarily depressed Las Vegas real estate home market. Now we are seeing increases in the number of Chinese investors finding their vacation homes here in Las Vegas.

With the still heavy inventory of homes available on the market and over 64% of these homes being vacant R.E.O.'s, Las Vegas homes can be purchased substantially below the median price making Las Vegas an excellent Buyers Market.

Canadain and U.S. citizens can buy Las Vegas Homes at prices they previously could only dream about. We are seeing the numbers of Las Vegas homes selling to Canadians, Chinese and other foreign buyers at unprecedented rates. Even though the currency exchange rate has narrowed to more traditional levels the steep discounts in real estate in Las Vegas have proven to be a great opportunities for foreign investing.

I would also like to invite you to contact me in person for specific opportunities in this exciting Buyers market.

Selling Las Vegas & Henderson
Homes

The problem with a Buyers market is that everyone panics.  The Buyers afraid they not going to beat the last dollar from your pocket book and that somewhere else out there in “Real estate land” they can find something better for less.
On the other side the Sellers are frightened to death that they are going to have to give their first born to enslavement and all their money in order to sell their house! The Sellers are sure that somewhere out there is a sucker who will give them more than the appraised value of their home and a lender who will of course give 100% financing of the overly priced purchase!
Let’s face the facts: money does not grow on trees so financiers are not going to loan over value.  Buyers can be unreasonable but you simply don’t sell to an unreasonable person.  Virtually no Seller is going to give their house away for a drastically reduced price (urban legends aside).  A reasonable Buyers are going to offer reasonable price for your home or you simply will not sell but be assured other Sellers won’t sell either.
With that said I want to help you sell your home! Why should you use me?  Because you want to get the most money you can in a reasonable period of time.  I have been licensed in real estate and selling homes since 1977.  Experience counts!  I have sold homes in Buyers and Sellers markets.  That means I know the ropes and the paths to take to get you the most for your home.
