Las Vegas Luxury Properties Link

With the majority of all of our sales being foreclosures or short sales,  few people consider new homes, and I keep telling them they are missing out.  I just attended a National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals, NAHREP for short, luncheon last week with a huge panel of brand new home builders.  It was very informative and gave everyone a clear indication of new building trends....here's the biggest trend: GREEN BUILDING.   Many of the builders are now constructing Enery Plus which is 30% more efficient than Energy Star.   Out here in the hot summers and chilly winters, having an energy efficient home is ideal.  The builders are ramping up for the expiration of the home buyers tax credit.  Many builders offer incentives to the buyers, such as closing costs, upgrade or option credits, and some even reduce the price.   New home builders require that your Realtor accompany you on your first visit, so make sure you let your agent know you'd like to visit a new home community otherwise the builder's employee will represent you AND the builder.  If you'd like to see new construction homes in Las Vegas, you can start your search below or call me toll free 1-866-589-1646.  I have relationships with a lot of builders around town, and can usually get the latest and greatest deals available.

I just listed a very charming, remodeled home in Mcneil Manor here in Las Vegas. This neighborhood doesn't feel like you're in Las Vegas with huge trees, big lots, and great neighbors.  I am a little biased with this listing, because I live here and can vouch for how awesome it is.   This is a very centrally located neighborhood with fantastic access to I-15 and I-95, and five minutes to the strip.   It's primarily made up of single story homes, and if you're looking to escape the cookie cutter feel of the rest of Las Vegas, you need to visit this area.   The neighborhood was built in the 1960's and the average lot size is nearly a quarter of an acre. 

The new listing is on 2707 Colanthe Ave, Las Vegas NV 89102.

• 2195 Sq ft
• 3 Bed
• 2.5 Bath
• 2 Car Garage
• Pool and Spa
• Remodeled Kitchen with stainless steel refrigerator, double oven, and corian counter tops

Anytime I can help a client try to sell their home in another state with some extra internet exposure, I put their home on my blog and various other websites to generate some good traffic.  Since Las Vegas doesnt' have too many "historic" homes, I thought this would be a fun thing to blog about and hopefully it will generate enough interested to bring a buyer for this very cool mansion. Here's a description about the home:

STATELY GEORGIAN REVIVAL MANISON
ROCKY MOUNT, NORTH CAROLINA

STOP: $8,000.00 TAX CREDIT FIRST TIME BUYERS; $6,000.00 TAX CREDIT FOR OTHER BUYERS EXPIRES 4/15/2010


Take a SECOND LOOK at this Large Eligant Historical Home Now FHA will permit lenders to use the $8,000.00 or $6,000.00 tax credit to either cover closing cost or make a Larger Down payment. Seller will credit another $20,000.00 in escrow to be applied to down payment. This may assist you in qualifying for a Home Loan. Just recently in the "Raleigh Metro Magazine" it states and I quote, "Talk about location, location, location a city of 60,000 residents is situated at the geographic junction of North Carolina's Piedmont and Coastal Plains, where temperate climate, scenic beauty and good cropland abound, it is at the intersection of three major highways US 301, Interstate 95 and US 64 only 45 minutes from Raleigh and midway between New York, NY and Jacksonville, FL."

This Historical Home is a gem and located in the Historical District in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. The street is lined with beautiful Historical Homes.

During the past seven days, the number of available properties dipped by another 105 units, bringing total inventory to 12,553 homes. Compared to the same week of the prior year, inventory is down 43.2 percent, or a decline of 9,543 units (from 22,096). Availability is at its lowest level since December 2005, a period when the median resale price was nearly $285,000; for comparison purposes, the latest median price is nearly $125,000.

As properties move from an "available" status, they generally migrate to the contracted status either contingent or pending. Contingent units are awaiting some action, such as a bank's approval on a short sale. The combined total of contingent and pending units reached 14,297, up 145 units during the past week, and up 6,958 units (or a 94.8 percent increase) from the same week of 2008. A number of short sale transactions still require lender sign-off, which contributed to the rise in unclosed sales. With short sales accounting for more than one-half of contracted units, it is unclear if all sales will close as planned.

Many of my clients tell me they want a specific zip code. I thought a great way to for people to see available inventory was to have pre-sorted searches in place for easy access.  As always, you can start a fresh search of Las Vegas homes for sale here, or you can use some of the search links below.

Our market is heating up because of a decreased supply of inventory. We've seen 20 consecutive weeks of declines which is causing multiple offers on properties that are well priced.  73% of all sales are foreclosures.  Coming down from our peak in 2006, some properties are 55-60% depreciated from those over inflated prices.  If you'd like more specific information regarding the Las Vegas housing market, please email me at felipe@felipecrook.com or call me toll free at 1-866-589-1646.  Below is a Las Vegas Zip Code map:
