The Mesquite Nevada market is continuing to see very good traffic numbers of "Lookers". However the inventory continues to grow along with the number of "off the market" and vacant properties. Bank owned REO properties are beginning to affect appraisals as they sell and close at lower prices. The Sun is still shining in Mesquite and the state of Nevada still does not have a state personal income tax. The baby boomer's are still retiring and those are the "lookers" coming through the model homes. They appear to me to be at greater risk of making a price mistake today than possibly ever before. Anixous, hungry agents with little experience to any market other than what was here over the past five years are quick to say this is a "GREAT DEAL". Maybe it was relative to two year old pricing ...

Mesquite Nevada is still a small town, a great place to retire or relocate! You know those hectic days full of endless and thankless errands?  Too much to do and not enough time ? One thing after the other, the list goes on and on and on……  I had one of those days today.Too many chores and not enough time.I was getting pretty darn edgy!  One more chore!I pulled up to the drive-through window at Wells Fargo Bank,Waited for an eternity (about 1 minute) for my turn to pull up.And how did the teller greet me? “Hi, Virginia, how are you today?” And a beautiful big smile.   Thanks Marilyn, You made my day!!

NO, Really, it's Garage Town USA - What a great idea!  Looking for a second home?  How about a second garage? People ( by people I mean men - I had to say that! )  become really attached to their garage.  How many times have you found the 'perfect home', but the husband did not like the garage? You could buy your own garage condominium for all of that extra stuff instead of renting a regular old storage unit by the month.  Build equity in a garage condo instead of just throwing away rent on that storage unit! This would be a wonderful opportunity here in Mesquite NV.  Residential lots are small and pricey.  We have a lot of 3 car garages, but only a few are big enough to put an RV in.  CC&Rs are strict and most do not allow RV PARKING or boats in driveways or on the street.  (What a bun...

The cactus in the desert surrounding Mesquite, Nv bloom in the Spring.  For just a few weeks in the spring we are treated to a colorful display as the desert cactus reveals it's colorful blooms. The roadrunner is a desert survivor.  He adapts to the brutal heat by day and extreme cold at night.  When spring arrives in the desert, the roadrunner knows it is time to mate and raise his family while the desert is teeming with life, providing him with a bountiful food supply for his mate and their young.                                          He hunts for food to offer morsels to a female to entice her to mate.  He dances around her while she begs for food.  After a short breeding session, he rewards her with the food.                                                                        ...

Color Country Community Housing Inc. ( CCCHI ) is building new homes in neighborhoods in the Southwest through the USDA Rural Development Mutual Self Help Loan Housing Program. This program is similar to Habitat for Humanity.  Low income residents may qualify to build "sweat equity" in their own new home by participating in construction. Six to eight families will work together, with the help of an experienced construction manager to provide about 65 % of the labor. This labor can reduce the price of the home as much as 25 % and also acts as the down payment, for a possible no down loan. Qualified families may also receive additional assistance, such as a mortgage with reduced interest rate to keep monthly payments more affordable. The first project in Nevada is Sunrise Meadows, a 61-Lo...

I joined the Mesquite Nv Chamber of Commerce in December '07.  They have a section on relocation to Mesquite, Nv where consumers can sign up for a welcome package or ask for information about Mesquite.  That request is then forwarded to real estate and other companies who are members.  The chamber sends a welcome package with general information.  I then email and call them with more detailed info about the real estate market.  I have had very good response from the people I contacted.  Some are long term, they may want to retire in 1-2 years, and some are planning a trip here soon.  I met with one couple last week, they were delightful people, plan on buying in June.  Some folks just have a question about the area. The Mesquite NV Chamber of Commerce is friendly and jam-packed with inf...

It is a tough market, tough on the people in the market. It may look like it is about land and buildings and money but it is really about the people. It is about where they live, work, play, and raise families.  In over thirty years of working with people and their real estate, I have never seen so much fear and pain. It is hard to watch. People are the reason I love the real estate business. The opportunity to meet and help so many interesting and different kinds of people makes all the rest of it worth it. All of the hard work and problems that must be solved. I have sold vacant bank owned foreclosures, but I did not know the people that lived there, until recently. Today, I know too many people who are being told they must move out. Too many people who are being pushed into bankruptc...

Searching For A Bottom February 2nd, 2008 As the market continues to slow....Since 2005 when we closed 41 total residential units in the local Mesquite nv MLS, January closings have gone to 38 in 2006, 28 in 2007 and now 26 in 2008.  Inventory, specifically property being listed, grew 7.2 new listings to each 1 that went into pending status in January 2008.  While the total number of properties for sale only increased about 3%, the other properties went out as failed listings, either expired or withdrawn. The number of vacant properties remains very high and most of what has been rented is running large negative cash flows. Some of those failed listings will be tomorrow's foreclosures and short sales. Many people must sell.  The speculative buying fad of the recent past, that pushed bui...

Fourth Quarter 2007 By Chris W. Miller ABR, CRS, GRI   New home building permits issued by the City of Mesquite went up; 114 issued in 2007 Q4 compared to 42 in 2006 Q4. For the year permits increased from 262 in 06 to 463 in 07 or 76% more. This increase is compounding the market slow down and pushing prices down across the board. Listed "for sale" inventory grew faster than 4 to 1 compared to "sold and closed" units.  Based on December closings as an absorption rate there is a 30 month supply sitting out there, many are vacant. Today the average asking price for a listed home stands at $197 per square foot. October sales prices were at $169 with 15 sales, November was at $159 with 22 sales, and December was at $150 per square foot with 11 sales. There were only 17 resale homes closed ...

Military Relocation and Retirement  Mesquite, Nv is approximately 70 miles from Nellis Air Force Base.  Yet a drive to work on the base takes about the same time from Mesquite, Nv as it would from many of the areas in busy Las Vegas.  I-15 is a straight shot from Mesquite, Nv to northeast Vegas.  As a retirement option for military personnel, Mesquite is a welcome relief from the hustle and bustle of the Las Vegas area yet close enough to military facilities to take advantage of the benefits. My son-in-law is in the military and I understand the frustrations involved with frequent relocation.  My past experience as a Realtor with an office located right outside Travis Air Force Base in California taught me about military relocation and how to prepare my clients for a move.  More than ha...

Eighty miles north east of Las Vegas on the Utah/Arizona/Nevada border (just off Interstate 95) sits the small town of Mesquite.  Until the last couple of years Mesquite was a tiny bedroom community with it's claim to fame being the Virgin River and a small outlet mall, more or less a quick stop on the way to Salt Lake City. Like most small communities in Nevada, Mesquite has gone through a growing spurt.Del Webb, the leader in active adult living for ages 55 and better, is proud to announce that Sun City Mesquite is now open in this charming town.Sun City Mesquite opened in June 2007 and has already sold over 350 homes, making it the top-selling Del Webb community in the nation!
