When surfing through the internet about Las Vegas homes, you'll find a lot of sites that talk about Summerlin, Spanish Trail, Silverado Ranch, etc. They are great communities with a lot to offer a home buyer. However, there are a lot of other wonderful communities that have been largely ignored. One of these is Southern Terrace. The community was built by then Nevada home builder Perma-bilt (who was later acquired by housing giant Meritage Homes shortly after the community was built). It was probably the last master planned community built under the Perma-bilt brand and offers a lot of the same amenities you'd find in a Green Valley or Summerlin community. The association fees are under $100 a month and the community has two swimming pools, spa, fitness facilities, club house and picnic areas with bbq grills.
Southern Terrace real estate offers four beautiful neighorhoods of one and two story homes ranging from just under 1,400 sf to over 3,400 sf. The community is located on the west side of town near Tropicana Avenue and Fort Apache in zip code 89148. The I215 beltway is just a short drive away, plus a variety of shops, restaurants and more. If you would like listings of the current Southern Terrace homes for sale, call 702-493-8033 or visit our website www.lvrealty.net -cr
The Las Vegas area is experiencing what could be called a gold rush lately. With so many foreclosed homes on the market, prices have plummeted. Great news if you are a home buyer for sure, especially if you've never owned a home before. The low prices combined with the first time home buyer tax credit makes it a powerful draw, especially for retirees.
Prices for most of the retirement specific communities have been cut in half since 2006. There are several Henderson and Las Vegas retirement communities to choose from. You can use our interactive map to view different communities around the valley.
You can view the map legend on our site along with community profiles on every age restricted community in the Las Vegas valley, plus search listings online or receive them by email. Free feel to contact me directly at 702-493-8033 or at info@lvrealty dot net.
Along with this blog, we maintain several other blogs, some concentrating on the condo market as well as other niche markets. If you are looking for the latest Las Vegas Condo News or Las Vegas Homes news, check out either of these new blogs. Read about Ryland homes latest sale or the announcement by CityCenter dropping condos (posted on January 7th).
If you have been following the media coverage of the Las Vegas real estate market, you've may have noticed something strange....positive media coverage. That's right, the media has gotten off the gloom and doom train. For the second straight news cycle, print media as well as some television have been reporting positive news about the market. Two different studies by real estate tracking companies have been released in the last two weeks (one was in the Las Vegas Review Journal earlier this month, other at Forbes.com), stating that sales are up (the local REALTOR association can back that up with hard numbers) and prices are way, way down. Those are definite facts. I can't remember when you could buy a nice new two bedroom townhouse for under $60k. But its not just the entry level of the market seeing huge price drops. One of our clients is closing on a luxury home that listed for just under $1 million last year (and worth every penny). Full of custom features, built-ins, pool, park like landscaping and a huge lot, the property sold for just under $500 and its not a bank owned property. The falling prices are directly tied to the number of bank owned properties on the market. If you're looking for a new home, call us at 702-493-8033. Thanks for stopping by. -cr

Las Vegas is fortunate enough to be home to many wonderful master planned communities. From the massive planned community of Summerlin, to many smaller communities around the valley Las Vegas has a community for everyone. A great example would be the community of Coronado Ranch. Most Coronado Ranch homes are two story, with some single story and three story homes available.
There are some gated communities available as well, plus a community of townhomes. Some neighborhoods have additional amenities like a community pool, fitness center, clubhouse, etc. The community is fairly new. Most of the homes in the community were built after 2004. If you are thinking about buying a home in Las Vegas, take a look at the Coronado Ranch community. For listings of available properties, call 702-493-8033 or email me at info@lvrealty.net.

I have lived in Las Vegas for almost 30 years and have watched the landscape of the Las Vegas real estate market reinvent itself time and time again. Regardless of whether you are purchasing a retirement home, a Las Vegas loft, your first home or buying a high rise condominium, there isn't an area of real estate in Las Vegas that I'm not familiar with. As a recognized expert on the Las Vegas real estate market, I have been consulted by the print media as well as such television programs as On the Money on CNBC. In addition, I am a member the National Association of Realtors (NAR), at my prior brokerage I was a member of Prudential's President's circle, representing the top 5% of all Prudential agents across the country as well as being E-Certified by Prudential, an exclusive Prudential designation certifying a superior knowledge of internet marketing and computer skills. After 9 years, I moved from Prudential to Realty One Group.
I believe that as a consumer, you should have as much information as there is available, to help you choose the right real estate professional to represent you. That's why on my website you'll find more than just a list of Las Vegas homes for sale. I set out to make the most comprehensive online guide to the Las Vegas real estate market. On it you'll find in depth information on all Las Vegas retirement communities, Las Vegas masterplanned communities, plus floor plans, reports and a list of communities that are offering great buyer incentives as well as these popluar communities: Mountains Edge, Tuscany, Queensridge, Southern Highlands, Rhodes Ranch, Silverstone Ranch, Silverado Ranch, Anthem and Aliante to name just a few. Detailed information on every high rise and loft project is also available, including floor plans when available from the developer. Because I have been successful over the years, I have put together a team of like minded individuals to ensure that the needs of my clients are always met.
As a member of the community, I am active in several charities across the Las Vegas valley. I help raise donations for Safe Nest, a local shelter for battered women and their children (and their pets) and I foster dogs for Heaven Can Wait Sanctuary as well as other animal welfare groups. All of the animals you'll see on my site have been rescued from Las Vegas and Henderson shelters.
I am extremely familiar with Las Vegas, Henderson and Boulder City, having been a Las Vegas resident for over 30 years. On my team I have agents that specialize in Las Vegas condos, condo conversions, new homes, high rise condos, listings, lofts and resale homes. Personally, I am a recognized expert on the Las Vegas high rise condos and luxury loft market. I also excel at internet marketing as well. I have sold properties in every major high rise project on and off of the strip and homes in most of the master planned communities. However, generally I prefer to work with buyers. I have also worked with foreign investors in several countries and am familiar with the extra steps involved when a client is not an American citizen. As a licensed realtor with Prudential Americana Group, Realtors, I have access to all six Prudential offices across the Las Vegas valley, which means there is always an office nearby any developement you are interested in, whether its Summerlin, Henderson, Green Valley or North Las Vegas.
Part of being successful is surrounding yourself with other successful, reliable people. I have built solid relationships with the best local lender and home inspector in Las Vegas. I recommend their services to all my clients because of their sterling past performances and all of my clients get priority VIP treatment.
Your Las Vegas Real Estate expert.
Dear Mr. Kowis:
Last year we met one of your representatives at an Open House, We did not purchase that house, but we found the agent to be personable, knowledgeable and genuinely interested in our situation.
The following Saturday, she came to our house and suggested some properties that met our needs and preferred locations. We began our search in earnest! After some lengthy discussion and showing many houses, we finally found THE ONE! Due to unforeseen circumstances with the seller, we did not end up with that house. Mrs. Richey immediately comforted us and explained that a better house would emerge. Sure enough, and with extreme time constraints, Mrs. Richey discovered our present residence.
As we approach the one-year anniversary of this purchase, we are so grateful to have met such a dedicated and professional Realtor to help us buy our first home. She continues to support our needs and we feel you must be made aware of her services that extend far beyond our wildest expectations. She is truly one in a million!
We are forever raving fans,
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Gilberto Ortega
