Foreclosures in Las Vegas, NV

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

With the current real estate market, you can land some great deals on foreclosed homes. The real estate market has truly transformed into a buyer’s market. Even if your income is not six figures, you may want to seriously consider purchasing a foreclosed home, even if for investment purposes. In Las Vegas, Nevada, in particular, there are many foreclosed homes that you can take advantage of, and be glad you did in 10-20 years. In even 5-10 years, you never know if the market will bounce back and send the value of your foreclosed home soaring.

There are plenty of wonderful foreclosed condos and homes right now in Las Vegas, Nevada, for affordable prices. Luxury condos are running for anywhere from $30,000 to $100,000 in Las Vegas. Peace Way is one condo community with a few condos up for foreclosure. In this community, for instance, you can purchase a condo and receive full amenities for only around $50,000. With a 30 year mortgage rate, that would mean you only pay about $200 a month for payments! Can you imagine owning a nice 3 bedroom condo that gains value every single year? And imagine this-your monthly mortgage payments are actually cheaper than renting that same condo!

Gorgeous homes with even up to 5 bedrooms are only going for about $200,000. Las Vegas can be a great place to raise children (contrary to popular belief). If your family is considering relocating to another city, then Las Vegas may be the place for you. You can purchase much more “house” for your money than in states like New York or California!

REO HOMES IN LAS VEGAS ARE A GREAT DEAL JUST WAITING FOR YOU

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Statistically, foreclosures in Nevada, and Las Vegas specifically, have led the nation for many months. There may be a light at the end of the tunnel, or this may just be a lull in bank foreclosure activity. The foreclosure rate in February 2010 showed a decline of 7%.

This large number of foreclosed homes are now owned by banks as Real Estate Owned (REO). The banks need to sell these homes to clear their balance sheets and replenish their cash reserves. This means that there are great opportunities for you to buy the place of your dreams at a bargain price.

Some people feel that by buying a foreclosed home they are taking advantage of someone else’s misfortune. Rest assured, this simply is not the case. The borrower (previous homeowner) had a legal contract with the mortgage company that the borrower has defaulted upon. The mortgage lender is simply exercises their legal rights to try to recoup their losses from the loan by selling the house to you. Any REO property that is being offered for sale by a bank has already foreclosed on, and whether you buy the house or not, the original borrower has already lost any legal claim to the house. With all the delinquent mortgages in the Las Vegas area, you can be sure that the bank has tried everything they can to try to keep the borrower in their house. The last thing the bank needs is another REO property that they need to sell.

You can buy any REO property with a clear conscience that you are not profiting from someone else’s misfortune.

High Rise Living in Las Vegas, NV

Monday, March 29th, 2010

If you really want to be right in the middle of all the excitement and action in Las Vegas, NV, high rise living might be right for you. There are lots of high rise condos and apartments in the Las Vegas area available at great prices right now. Before making the decision to purchase a high rise condo or apartment, you should think over all the pros and cons.

First of all, people who live in high rise buildings normally have to pay HOA dues. These dues go toward building upkeep, paying staff workers and the privilege of using the amenities. The due amounts may vary from year to year, and you need to be sure that will be in your budget before deciding to live in a high rise.

If you own a pet, you need to check that the high rise building you’re looking at will allow them. Most of them do allow dogs and cats, but exotic pets are often not welcome. Be sure that the high rise has a nearby park or open area below where you can take your pet out for walks and the like. Another important thing to consider is storage space. If you have lots of things, space may be limited in a high rise apartment or condo. However, most buildings have extra storage available below the building where you can put your extra things for a small fee. Before going too far into the process of buying a high rise apartment or condo, you should seek out a realtor who has experience in selling them.

Buying a house in Las Vegas

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

If you are considering purchasing a home in Las Vegas, Nevada, now may be the best time ever to do so.  Housing prices in the Las Vegas area are at their lowest levels in years, and, for the most part, homes are selling for less than half of what they were selling for a few years back.  While the median sales price has been cut in half, buyers should rest easy to know that it appears the drastic price decline has leveled off over the past few quarters.

If you are looking to purchase a home in Las Vegas, you need to do everything you can to fully understand the market that you are purchasing in.  In February 2010, nearly one in 95 homes in the Las Vegas market received a foreclosure filing.  While this rate seems high for an overall city average, the figures are largely distorted by zip codes with even higher rates of foreclosure.  In several zip codes located around the city, the foreclosure rate is 1 in 20 homes or worse.

To find the best market for your Las Vegas home, you should look in a neighborhood that had less of a bubble and has a lower rate of foreclosure.  These neighborhoods are far more stabilized and your home will be far more likely to either retain its value or increase in value over time.  Also, when looking to purchase a home in Las Vegas, be sure to hire a realtor who has in-depth market knowledge.
