At prices below $100,000 cash accounted for 50.3% of sales, accenting the intense competition that first-time homebuyers face from investors.

Las Vegas Area Real Estate Market Watch was created for informational purposes only.  This is for all the buyers wondering "where is the inventory"?  The inventory is here, this graph shows that buyer interest is extremely high and gobbling up all that new inventory coming online! This is also for people saying "shadow inventory exists"!  Well I believe it exists but it also exists in short sales which has tripled to quadrupled it's formerly stagnant close ratio since late spring. These are Listing/Under Contract & Pending/Sold Trends from December 2007-June 2010. Contracted closings are stalled because of the large amount of short sales that are contracted.  Inventory rise is directly related to the tax credit expiring.   07/23/2010

I thought I'd think about a catchy title to the blog as I know many of you feel the same way as I do.  I just needed your attention, because what I have to say affects us all and it is happening regularly but I feel that there is nothing a home buyer nor an agent can do about it.  This involves big real estate companies who are deceptive in their marketing practices.  Yeah, you know who they are!  They maintain an online database.  A potential home buyer calls their number which is posted on the sign and they will tell that home buyer that there is no offer on the property yet,  so they will go ahead and get their information, but in reality, they actually already have 34 offers, yet, the MLS has not been updated to reflect "multiple offer situation exists, because their online database... 07/17/2010

I do not know how many people believe that they are more important than their clients.  When you are in the industry where customer service is involved...and I do not care about what type of service you provide, you have to understand that the most import thing is your client.  If you do not have the patience and the common sense to understand that you are serving them and that they are not serving you, then my golly!  YOU ARE IN THE WRONG FIELD!  Go and find another job!! I will explain to you why I am frustrated.  Aside from being a Realtor, I am also a certified loan document signing agent.  I have over 135 client companies all over the country in my database that use my services and most have been using me since 2003.  I have worked so hard to get these companies to work with me and... 07/16/2010

Las Vegas Area Sales by Type - The History of the Last Year! This report is a special request from a lender collegue.  I am going to include it in my regular Las Vegas Area Listings & Sales by Type Monthly Report HOWEVER I think the first one deserves special attention and it's own post. REO - Real Estate Owned and is commonly known as "Bank Owned" Property. REO sales are down for a myriad of reasons and the main reason is due to the lack of inventory.  It isn't because people don't want to buy them - in fact that is quite the opposite - buyers WANT THEM :) REO inventory has been a shell game.  First of all look at the chart and see that "standard sales" and "short sale" sold units have increased dramatically. Short Sales are mainly pre-foreclosure sales and most of them are in default... 07/16/2010

I have been with AR for a long time now, but never really did anything to maximize my benefit.  It was until I attended the last Las Vegas Rain Camp that I have learned about the possibilities.  It is taking me a little longer than most, but I am getting there.  Imagine where I would be already had I started blogging and doing what I am supposed to be doing?  I can only imagine, but I see so many people who are way there already because they did what they are supposed to do.  I can only wish!  I should have learned then, because when I was with Connect Realty and wrote a blog about what they have to offer (which I deleted just recently and to my dismay, I lost big points), my blog came in every first page of Google for Connect Realty in Las Vegas.  LOL!  The things that we do!  Sometime... 07/15/2010

Well not quite, HOWEVER after what we have been through the last several years it kind of feels like it.  I am seeing stuff sit on the market a little longer without multiple offer situations.  Inventory is up around 2000 units since the tax credit contract deadline came and went (April 30) and June closes came in just a smidge above 4000. If you were waiting to jump in the water to avoid those multiple offer horror stories, now may be the right time! The water is warm, rates are low to get more buying power and prices are at 2000 levels! Start your home search right now (NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED)!

I was browsing the internet and came across this link where I can download the "Google Switch" that will reveal how I can increase the traffic to my website.  Although skeptical, I have signed up just to satisfy my curiosity.  I thought it does not cost me anything and I was also determined to not spend a single cent, so I gave it a try.  I thought that if I have to pay, I just won't continue.  I have completed the signing up process and I still did not have to pay.  At the end of the process, lo and behold!
