I am curious as to how the auction went in Lake Las Vegas this very aggressively priced foreclosure deals at "V" and some slashed price condos at Vita Bella.  I wonder how those prices stack up compared to the foreclosure pricing. And I wonder if the fact that the masterplan is in bankuptcy was disclosed to all potential buyers. What is concerning to me is that the the monthly HOA Lake Las Vegas masterplan dues are $87/month and given the dismal state of affairs, how high are they projected to rise? Buyers need to research the facts and buy with their eyes wide open! CONTACT THE STARK TEAM for all Your Las Vegas Real Estate Needs 702 376-5220 09/15/2008

Luxury Properties Abound in Beautiful Seven Hills-Henderson NV I have spent the past few days showing luxury homes in the various guard gated neighborhood of Seven Hills, a masterplanned community centered around the Rio Secco Golf Course that offers some of the most beautiful views and peaceful lifestyles in the Vegas Valley. It was a welcome change from showing the high rise condo on & off the strip that I know like the back of my hand!

I must have previewed twenty plus homes in Seven Hills and an equal amount in Anthem Country Club, and up to Red Rock Country Club in... 09/05/2008

For most of the afternoon yesterday, the Las Vegas valley was under a flash flood watch. Eight hours later we had seen just a few drops of rain - just enough to get the windshield dirty, but leaving the desert landscape thirsting for more. This is a perfect example of how scarce water can be in the southwestern desert. Even though the Henderson Nevada area only receives 4 1/2 inches of rainfall per year (with most of that coming in the first three months), there are still plenty of options for homeowners to add color to their surroundings. The Southern Nevada Water Authority offers several ideas for landscape designs on their website, including child-friendly, pool-friendly, and low maintenance. Here are just a few examples of color:   Upper left: Lantana is a popular groundcover in sou... 08/31/2008
