A long with depression and sadness people are experiencing in the Las Vegas housing market a fear of panic if I may say.  I’m not a cilnical Dr. but I see what is happening behind closed doors for many Vegan’s. 

People whom I’ve know for a number of years who very rarely drank alcohol are starting to drink.  Home owners men and women are seeking anti-depressants because they can not deal with what is happening here.  People are scared of losing their jobs. People are losing their jobs, People are losing their homes to short sale, foreclosure, bankruptcy, or by being kicked out of a home that they were renting and now has gone to auction or foreclosed on.  Domestic violence is up too.

It’s a shame that we are in this boat that is sinking.  I take listings on a daily basis.And I will tell you that the heart ache, shame, embarrassment, and anger is very sad.  So many times I leave the listing and just think to myself how can this be happening to so many people?  I heard the other day that 8 out of 10 home owners will be removed from their residence due to this housing crisis.

We all need to support each other more than ever and understand that you are not alone in this situation.  It is a unavoidable situation for many people to be in but it can and will get better. 

Remember your home is just four walls and stuff to hold it in place.  You can make your home anywhere you want and move forward with life.

I’ve noticed that several vacant homes I’ve viewed lately have had angels left behind.  Either in the form of a statue in the bachyard, a waterfall, little staute angels left on kitchen counter tops or pictures, books of angels or angels painted on the wall. 

In my opinion people must be leaving them behind intentionally.  People leave all kinds of things behind.  Some things I’ve seen are furniture, personal family pictures, at least they look like family pictures.  Wedding books, scrap books of babys and toddlers all the way to their teenage years.  Treasure chests full of memories.  Kids and adults clothing.  Closets full of sheets and towels.  Many times I see numberous cleaning supplies and bug/weed sprays. 

After researching angels on the internet and understanding a liitle more, perhaps they are left behind to fight off the demons.

That’s right a few months ago everyone was all about helping out buyers find that perfect home.  Well things have changes drastically and it’s all about the seller.  Buyers are just drulling waiting for homes to go on the market.  We literally have no inventory …yes, of course their are homes or sale but it is very limited.  There is so many more buyers than homes for sales.  I’m not sure of the percentage, but it’s pretty large.

BUyers are getting extremely frustrated, waiting and waiting for a place to go on the market only to find there are 17 or more offers on that same property.  They wonder how many offers on how many different homes will they have to write before their offer is accepted? 

Also, one word of caution to buyers.  Beware of lenders who are taking advance to desperate buyers.  I  have noticed that many listing agents only allow certain lenders to do the loan on their Las Vegas property that they have listed.  Which can be a very large problem for buyers since they are not allowed to shop around and get the best deal.  Just a little heads up to buyers.  beware and ask lots of questions.

Dramatic Increase in Las Vegas Real Estate Sales

December generated a dramatic increase in Las Vegas home sales. We sold 2,498 homes, up approximately 184.2% from December a year ago, according to the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors. December is traditionally a slow time of year due to the holidays and winter weather…Many people are taking advantage of the great homes and great prices of these homes… it’s just amazing what steals and deals are out there.
