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.

Short Sales Are About to Increase

October 5, 2009

Short Sales: A Fraying Lifeline for Homeowners | www.businessweek.com

Treasury is announcing new terms that they hope will encourage more short-sales. These transactions have not been very effective in the past, and while this is probably not going to be a game changer, it’s wise to expect the incentives could spur some level of increase in short sales.

Tax Lien Certificates Offer Stability During Unstable Times

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.

Hope can fuel bulls' charge as stocks rally despite worries | www.usatoday.com

We believe that the recovery will be W-shaped and that April was only a false bottom. Our estimate is that there will be a slowing beginning in December, and that we will hit the true bottom in summer of 2010.

1. Mortgage Rates to Benefit from Stabilized Home Prices, Jumbo Mortgage Rates in Particular | www.examiner.com

The emergence of home price stabilization is spotty and should not be over-simplified. It’s important to look at the underlying indicators to see where stabilization is actually taking place.

The recent good news in housing starts is based on seasonally adjusted data, which can fluctuate and affect solid conclusions. Non-seasonally adjusted data across a 12-month period is a more stable reflection of construction activity.

LAS VEGAS: THE RESIDENTIAL RECOVERY APPEARS TO BE UNDERWAY!

August 18, 2009

Nevada leads in foreclosures as U.S. rate climbs 7 percent | www.lvrj.com

      When people say Las Vegas had a "hot July," they may not be referring to the weather!      Las Vegas' July housing data makes it easy to suggest that the residential market is on the verge of sizzling.      PRICES ARE UP!      INVENTORY IS DOWN!      DEMAND CONTINUES TO SHOW FORMIDABLE STRENGTH!  In fact, at current sales rates, there is now just 2.9 months of available inventory in the existing home market. If less than 3 months of inventory defines a hot market, Las vegas is torrid!
