Mary Kennedy, Las Vegas RE/MAX Realtor

I know, I know. You're not supposed to make snap judgments based on first appearances. That includes choosing dream homes by just driving by.

With all my experience, I've made a commitment to delivering RE/MAX Premier Customer Service. That means I'm willing to use all my resources to search high and low for the "just right" properties to help newly relocated people find their home fast. In fact, I offer a website with information for anyone who is relocating, buying or selling. Please visit my site at http://www.marykennedylasvegas.com/ You'll find recent home sales, real estate news, and even a dream-home finder that will help you search for the "just-right" home.

You see, I'm in the Las Vegas market every day. I've seen a lot of homes in a lot of developments already. So when buyers want to find their new home, we don't waste time looking at the wrong properties. If I've learned one thing from all my looking, it's that first impressions mean a lot to homebuyer's. I guard the homebuyer's time and keep the search on track.

I mention this because I really believe that you, your friends, and your family deserve the kind of special attention I am proud to deliver. Keep me in mind whenever someone you know is making a move, won't you?

Have a great day!

Regards,
Mary Kennedy

I’m going to change from my traditional newsletter format this month to focus more on the some information I would like to share about the Las Vegas real estate market.

During the month of December, 40% of sales in all of the Las Vegas Valley were bank owned properties. The message is that the banks have become more realistic with pricing. This is an indication that the market is turning around.

On January 22^nd, the interest rates were lowered ¾ of a percent. The media is reporting that another cut of up to ¾ of a percent is coming. Taking all of this into account, along with the jobs that are being created by $40 billion of construction on the strip, I’m seeing that we are in the right place at the right time for a recovery.

The key to job creation is affordable housing. That’s why the banks are doing the right thing by accepting reasonable offers for properties. The number of listings for Single Family Resale Homes in January was under 24,000. 90 days ago it was near 30,000.

This is not a call for everyone that was thinking of selling to put their house on the market because the prices are still down and you want to list when we are safely into the turn and inventory stabilizes.

Now, if you are a potential buyer this is the time to get serious and start looking at your options. Las Vegas will be well ahead of the rest of the country in the turn and you want to be educated about what’s out there for you. The people that have been at my open houses are renters that have been in Las Vegas from 6 months to 2 years with one of those new jobs and they are getting ready to buy. The time is right!

Here are a couple of articles emphasize the points I have made in this e-mail.

I have some good news for future Las Vegas Real Estate Buyers.

We performed a search of statistics today and I wanted to share some information with you.

1. Today’s search showed that 2045 Las Vegas Homes have been reduced in price in the past 7 days.

2. New Las Vegas Home Builders have dropped prices up to 20% on their standing inventory and it’s making Las Vegas real estate very appealing.

3. Two listings in Las Vegas Golf Course communities have been dramatically reduced in price from their highs.

a. One in Spanish Trail that was originally listed for sale for $374,000 is now being offered by the home owner for $295,000 (a 21% price decrease) and

b. Another home in Rhodes Ranch Country Club on the golf course that was once listed for $900,000 was just put on the market by RE/MAX Central for $750,000 or a 17% price decrease from the market highs.

If you take the information listed above, combine it with the recent cuts in the prime rate with maybe another cut coming in the near future, interest in Las Vegas real estate will go up.

Let’s face it, Las Vegas is one of the most exciting cities in the world and is always reinventing itself so the interest in Las Vegas real estate is always high and when prices are right, it sells.

If you would like some help sorting this out, I would be happy to help.

When I meet prospects and new clients, I make it a point to ask the question: "How did you happen to call today? Did you see my printed ads or find me on the Internet?"

Chances are, if you glance at a "Homes for Sale" magazine from the grocery store, or conduct a Google Search for Mary Kennedy on the Internet, you'll see some of my promotions and advertising. I work with a GREAT group of people to create the ultimate buying and/or selling experience. I know that to be successful, I spend thousands of dollars per year in a variety of promotional and advertising campaigns.

At the end of the year, when I review the sources of my business, I am continually surprised that the largest share of my business continues to come from repeat customers and referrals. So when you hear of someone thinking of moving, please do two things. Please tell them about me and tell me about them. Your recommendations and referrals are very important. Feel free to visit or to refer your friends to my web site at
