Las Vegas Real Estate is simply changing so fast it can be difficult at times to identify key trends. It has always been a fast paced and fluid market but it has slowed down a good deal the last 18 months; but, we can tell it is starting to move quickly again, depending on the price point of a new home or investment you are making.

How do you stay on top of the Las Vegas Real Estate Market? Some tips:

Work with a professional REALTOR – wether that’s us or someone of your choosing, you want a pro that has an in-depth understanding of the Las Vegas Real Estate Market. And by pro, we don’t mean someone that has been around for twenty years, it can be a relatively new agent, as long as he or she is a committed professional, well trained and has a great work ethic.

Know your numbers – have an in-depth understanding of the type of financing you will need to buy a home, have your financing lined up prior to making offers and make sure you know what homes are selling for around the one you are buying. Called “comps” in Las Vegas Real Estate speak

Be aware of new economic realities; we believe our market like many around the country are moving back to fundamental issues when a prospective homeowner or investor asseses Las Vegas Real Estate. Meaning, know how far you are from the freeway and from the Las Vegas Strip (where most people are employed in this town), where the local Starbucks & shopping mall is located, what type of schools are close by and what other amenities are important. For many years past people have been caught up in the buy and resell frenzy – we think new realities are settling back into the market, which is healthy for all.

Work with a REALTOR that is a Certified Distressed Property Expert – meaning, they have taken special training to handle distressed property sales (Foreclosures as an example). They will have an in-depth understanding of this type of a Las Vegas Real Estate transaction and many lenders will recognize this designation, helping to ensure your transaction may go faster and smoother.
