    I was reading the thread about the area just east of the strip (http://www.city-data.com/forum/las-v...s-strip-4.html) and I stiil don't know what to think. I'm look at a area just a little farther east (3135 MOJAVE RD, Las Vegas, NV 89121 - Las Vegas Real Estate) and was wondering what your opinion was. Unfortunately, I'm already working with an agent, though I'm not sure I'll be completely satisfied with her. I'll know more this weekend. Any suggustions would be great.

    Captain,
    I'm interested in the Turnberry Towers and saw you had a thread with lots o data about it...can't seem to find it now.

    Since you are the fount of all Vegas knowledge.... what's your opinon on the viability of a 1br condo there? I see listings in the $200k range (about250/foot). Is this a well made building, and is it financially stable? i.e. hoa fees will not get jacked up?

    Any other insight on this place?

    Thanks in advance!

    Thank You OleCapt, because of threads like yours and others, my LL wasn't able to scam us out of last and security,,, I started paying rent into an escrow account 6 months ago, and my attorney says we will be here for a pretty good while yet, before the bank officially takes ownership. I just updated my thread if you are still interested in this subject.

    Hendersonbound?
    Hello,
    I did not realize that you were a Realtor, my friend that moved to Las Vegas last year told me that you helped her with her move. I was wondering if you can tell me is paying 1200.00 a month for a 3 possibly 4 bedroom in a GOOD neighborhood possible? I would like to stay in the Henderson area, but as stated before I have never even visited Vegas before so I am just going by what the internet has to offer, can you help me? please n thank you,

    Do you sell condo's? Can we buy a nice one for $100,000 or less? We sold our house on Saturday. I forgot your web page but can you e-mail me listings of condo's? Instead of renting a apartment or buying a house we want to buy a condo. We want to fly out first week of March. The closing on our house will be March 27th. If we can't fine something that works for us than we will need to rent something before we come back to pack our things. Can you help us?

    yes, I knew you sailed, and I could make out the stripes on the shoulder, but I really couldn't tell what you had on your head. So it is painting, not a actual photo?

    You mean the Avatar picture? That is actually a caricature of the way I look when I sail. And I really do (or did) sail. I have done the west coast from Canada to Puerto Vallarta and much of it 4 or 5 atimes.

    I had dozens aof that cap and always wore it to avoid sun damage. The epaulettes were made up by the artist as was the scrambled eggs.

    olecapt by the way was not really a sailor...a confederate army Captain in fact.

    olecapt...what the heck is that picture about? I tried to make it bigger to get a better look to try to figure what's going on there, but I can't get it clear.

Here is a table that shows where three/twos can be found and what they cost. This table shows how many there are for sale and what the median and average prices are.

Note that you have to extrapolate a bit from this data. But note that if there are few available and the median is $150K you are unlikely to find many, if any below $120K.




The table was made on November...

Lots of discussion about the inventory of bank owned property in Las Vegas. Here is the view of what they are acquiring by foreclosure. This is the daily total of single family residences moved to bank ownership each day. It is abstracted from the County properties data base. It is generally a week or two behind the present date.

Summerlin Rentals

Here is a quick look at rentals in Summerlin. The chart covers both the period from May 1 to August 20, 2009 and the earlier rentals between January 1 and April 30.

Condos are only from the recent period.

Well there are a whole lot of folks who believe that a large new wave of foreclosures is bearing down on Las Vegas.

Well not sure we believe it...but there are certainly enough people who do that it needs to be worried about.

So a new chart that should show pretty quickly if the foreclosure scene begins to get worse.

Here is the chart...and all you have to do is watch the size of the bars...if they start to grow a lot...worry...If they shrink...don't...
