Will the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit be extended?

October 14th, 2009 · No Comments

The US House of Representatives last week passed a bill that extended the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit next year for military, diplomatic and intelligence personnel who are serving overseas. This increases the probability that Congress will agree to an extension or even extend the entire credit program well into 2010.

Difference between making an offer on a Las Vegas foreclosure or bank owned home or condo and a regular sale

October 13th, 2009 · No Comments

In Las Vegas asking prices for homes or condos can be misleading; it is the COMPS that count

October 5th, 2009 · 1 Comment

This WAS a pretty good way to find properties in the 20th Century, but it is currently the 21st Century and outdated [...]

N. W. Las Vegas home listing sold in a day, but after hostile tenant moved out

October 3rd, 2009 · No Comments

 
I do not like to list Las Vegas properties that I can’t sell, and that is why I have only listed one home to sell in 2009. In today’s Las Vegas home and condo market, regular listings should be able to compete with bank owned or REO homes or condominiums. There are not too many [...]

About current Las Vegas real estate market and buying condominiums at the Signature at MGM Grand Las Vegas

September 22nd, 2009 · 1 Comment

Las Vegas real estate market for homes and condos that are prices less than $300,000 is on fire.  Any listing that is reasonably priced gets multiple offers.
