I am pleased to announce that I am all settled in and ready to work at Prudential Nevada Realty in Gardnerville. I am so enthused to be back at what I like best, and that is selling real estate. My profile here has been fully updated. Watch the newspaper for my press release. Watch the roadsides for my listing signs.

Gardnerville, Minden, Genoa photos

Are you looking to learn more about life around the Carson Valley? While I have an extensive collection of photos from around town in Gardnerville and Minden and the out laying areas, I thought you might like to take a look at what the other locals have to share. Our local paper is called The Record Courier, and on their site, under the tab "Photos & Videos" you can enjoy a vast collection of uploaded scenes from Northern Nevada. You will gain insight on the terrain and views as well as community events and activities. Don't be suprised when you see the smiling residents of Gardnerville and Minded, we are all happy to live in Douglas County!

Gardnerville/Minden Home Prices

Something to consider:

Home prices in the Carson Valley (Gardnerville, Minden, and Genoa) are now as they were in 1996. You can buy a single family home for the same amount of money you could have back in 1996!

This news, along with the fact that interest rates on new home loans are rather low, gives all the reason you need to decide to become a homeowner now.

If you aren't sure if Gardnerville or Minden is right for you, contact me for a free relocation package. I will send you a package highlighting the community events of Douglas County, demographic information, climate information and recreational opportunities.

Carson Valley Home Sales Looking Good to me

09-15-08

Here is a Carson Valley Update for everyone! Surely you have seen all the news about "Short Sales" and Bank Owned properties. Bill Driscoll wrote a very interesting article about purchasing such properties and you can view it at www.nevadaappeal.com. Here are some stats I looked up just today. For the Zip Code 89410 only, there have been some changes from the 2nd quarter of 2008 to now the 3rd. In the 2nd quarter, the zip code 89410, which includes downtown Gardnerville and Minden and some rural areas in the southern part of the county, had a total of 29 sales. 34% of those sales were either short sales or bank owned. The average asking price to sale price ratio was 95% (That is- houses went for about 95% of what they were on the market for). The average sale price then was $279,000. BUT NOW, in the 3rd quarter of 2008, we have had more sales (36), and less short sales or bank owned properties selling (only 22% out of all residential sales). The average asking price to sale price ration dropped a little, to 91%. But hey, the average sale price went up to $414,000!! I think we can credit that to the fact that more properties with acreage sold in the 3rd quarter than did in the 2nd quarter. More sales were in rural areas where custom homes are built on larger lots. I am excited as it looks like now we have more sellers and buyers working together without the drama and headache of short selling and foreclosure, and our higher end inventory seems to be moving. Yay 89410!!
