We have had a Wild Couple of Weeks out here & it Doesn’t seem to be Slowing Down

Posted on: April 2nd, 2012 by Mary Kennedy No Comments

After years of instability in the wake of the housing market collapse, the Las Vegas Valley Real Estate market could finally be seeing things turn around.

According to a recent report from DataQuick, there were a greater number of homes sold in Las Vegas in February on both an annual and month-over-month basis. A report indicated that there were 4,240 transactions of both single-family homes and condominiums. This is a 5 percent increase from the previous month, and an 8.9 percent rise from a year earlier.

The Las Vegas marketplace has been flooded with foreclosures and distressed properties during recent years. As a result, a majority of home sale transactions are occurring in the low-end of the market. The report noted that the sales rate of homes less than $100,000 surged 18.9 percent in February on an annual basis and accounted for 42.8 percent of all transactions. In contrast, the rate of home sales for more than $300,000 edged just 1.1 percent higher.

Housing instability in Las Vegas could be seen as negative by a number of people, especially current homeowners. However, falling home prices has made the prospect of purchasing a home for sale in Las Vegas much more affordable for entry-level home-buyers.

Now you may ask! What can I get for $100,000 in the Las Vegas Valley today? You’re going to find this hard to believe, but

Now as you look through these homes, ask yourself: When National housing prices begin to turn in 2013 (as the geniuses predict), wouldn’t you be happy camper in 3 to 5 years knowing that you purchased a home in the Las Vegas Valley at the absolute bottom of the market back in 2012?

Think about it and give me a call because the time to buy low is now.

Quarterly Economic Business and Activity Report from the Nevada Secretary of State

Posted on: February 28th, 2012 by Mary Kennedy No Comments

Please see the the Quarterly Economic & Business Activity Report put together byApplied Analysis here in Las Vegas, NV.

It says that the new business entity growth figures posted throughout the majority of 2011 suggest increased employment is likely to prevail in the coming quarters. Find all of the latest statistics sourced to the Nevada Secretary of State’s office by downloading the full report.

Although these numbers pertain to our economy, there is no doubt that our Real Estate Market is directly affected by our Economy and Business Activity.

One point that I would like to make to anyone who reads this, is that the Economy and Business Activity are slowly getting better.

Your comments and feedback on this report are invited and will be greatly appreciated. If I can help, please let me know.

The IDEAL Investment

Posted on: February 21st, 2012 by Mary Kennedy No Comments
Rental homes can be the IDEAL investment in today’s real estate market because they offer a much higher rate of return than alternatives without the volatility of ups and downs that you see in the stock market.

IDEAL serves as an acronym to identify the advantages of rental properties:

  • Income from the monthly rent contributes to paying the expenses and a return on the investment.
  • Depreciation is a non-cash deduction that contributes a tax shelter.
  • Equity grows monthly as the mortgage amortizes due to some of each payment being applied to the principal.
  • Appreciation is achieved as the value of the property goes up.
  • Leverage can increase the return on investment by using borrowed funds to control a larger asset.
The combination of these characteristics working together makes rental real estate a very good investment for today’s economy and years to come. Increased rents, high rental demand, good values and low non-owner-occupied mortgage rates contribute to positive cash flows and very favorable rates of return.
