I have a new camera and got some GREAT panoramic shots of Spring Valley Park in SW Las Vegas today. It was a most gorgeous day (70-ish.) Vitto, Sal and Bob had a great time and now are all sacked out :)
You can see some snow capped mountains if you squint really hard and look in the backdrop. The cool
Spring Valley Park is located on the NE Corner of Flamingo & Buffalo. Amenities Include: Many Picnic/BBQ/Party Areas, Two Playgrounds, Walking/Biking/Jogging Paths, Water Play Area in Summer, Restrooms (and our favorite) TWO DOG RUNS (one for small dogs and one for big dogs.)
Vitto, Sal and Bob give it three legs up except on what they call "amateur day" (the day when people don't seem to know the rules.)
Vitto Playing Soccer (look at the macho man giving David Beckham a run for his money!):
Bob Pulling on Luna's Ear:
Sal Looking For Another Spot to Whizz:
Conga Lines & Piggy Back Rides on Nice Spring Days:
Uh oh, Puppy Dawg Time Out:
See you at the doggy park, bark bark bark!

You know what I am talking about. You log on five minutes before the auction ends because YOU THINK you are going to snag a bargain. You watch the price slowly go rise until you are one minute out. You place a bid at one minute remaining and then you refresh, refresh, refresh. The price is increasing pretty rapidly as the seconds tick by you.
Your heart is pumping you don't want to overpay but you REALLY gotta have it!
You place your bid 30 seconds out and refresh, refresh, refresh. The price is really going up now.
You place a super high bid at 3 seconds left and YOU SNAGGED IT! You feel pretty good but if you would have used the "buy it now" button 5 days ago, you would have paid less.
I warned about this mentality last October - three weeks BEFORE the tax credit was SUPPOSED to expire last time.
I warned about using the "buy it now" button in the middle of November so that you could position yourself to get a decent price.
At this point it is either best to write write write (without getting caught up in "EBAY MENTALITY" and carefully looking at comps from the last two months!) - OR - Wait and risk the odds of the tax credit not coming back and interest rates possibly going up. Do stuff that makes sense and promise yourself not to participate in irrational buying behavior!

Renee remembers driving past the Rhodes Ranch area in the late 90's as it was being developed and wondered "who would
want to live out there?" Well back in 2000, only 913 people resided in zip code 89148. In 2006, the population in 89148 expanded to a whopping 36,536 residents! Obviously someone wanted to move out there and that includes Renee's family!
Renee prides herself for taking the time and visiting each model home while the developments were being built in the following developments: Vistana, the Falls, Canyon Trails, Sierra Madre, Durango Springs, Independence, Huntington, Esplanade & Rhodes Ranch.
The Rhodes Ranch/ Southwest Las Vegas, NV area has so much to offer, with so much still being developed:
Clark County Schools: One of the largest school districts in the country and constantly feeling the growing pains of a county that grows by 5-7,000 new residents each month!
Clark County, Nevada Website: Many people do not understand that Las Vegas, NV is only a small city within the valley of homes that they see from the airplane. Much of Clark County within the valley is unincorporated. Henderson & North Las Vegas are cities located within our valley.
Las Vegas Municipal Police Department provides an online service called "crimeview community" ~ it is a great resource to check crime stats prior to picking out the new community you want to live in!
The Valley experiences many growing pains and one of them is traffic. The 215 "Bruce Woodbury" Beltway is being built as a ring around the valley to help alleviate traffic.
