A Happy Thanksgiving for Las Vegas

November 18, 2009

NEVADA ECONOMY: State showing some life at last | www.lvrj.com

 This year, October data could make Thanksgiving a happy holiday for Las Vegas real estate professionals. 

Las Vegas: Beyond the Bottom!

October 20, 2009

ECONOMIC INDEX NOW POINTING POSITIVE | www.lvrj.com

     In a week in which Las Vegas learned the local unemployment rate had skyed to 13.9% … passenger traffic at McCarran Airport slid 1.2% … and Nevada bankruptcy filings jumped 64% in the last nine months …. September housing market data actually comes as relatively good news.      At worst, Las Vegas is scudding along a bottom like a sailboat on choppy water. At best, it may be in recovery.      The key statistics: Prices appear stable. Inventory is still dropping. Sales continue to be strong.

October 5, 2009

October 1, 2009

Tax Bills Put Pressure on Struggling Homeowners | www.nytimes.com

Present estimates of  unpaid property taxes in the United States place the figure as high as $15 billion annually.  The choices available to government officials for remedying this shortfall are limited.  Counties and cities could increase the tax rate,borrow (maybe) the necessary capital,reduce services (again) or sell the tax debt to investors willing to take the risk they will be repaid.  The first three options are distasteful to most property owners,particularly those who pay on time.

Foreclosures: The Key to the Real Future of Las Vegas

September 21, 2009

New Homes Back in Play for Las Vegas Buyers | www.lvrj.com

Las Vegas housing statistics for August continue to suggest that the residential market is scudding along a bumpy bottom, struggling to find stability in sales, inventory and pricing.But the big story in the August data for the Las Vegas residential market can be summed up in a single word: Foreclosures.
