Vegas is changing with more high rise condos being completed on the Strip....
Another Las Vegas project close to finishing has filed Chapter 11.
"Creditors have forced the 63-unit Onyx condominium project on Duke Ellington Way into involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Onyx ranged from 740 square feet to 2,300 square feet and were priced from the $400,000s to more than $900,000″ and was located close to the strip and mccarren airport.
We have noticed that more and more REO properties are being fixed up by the bank. Over the past 6 months 70% of all sales have been REO properties so those properties were probably in better shape than what is left. We have been doing REO tours over the past 3 weeks and we have seen a ton of properties in bad shape with DOM stats ranging in the high 7 months plus.
So we have seen crews in condos and single family homes putting low grade carpet and paint which is just enough to get it sold.
A good sign the market is turning and banks have adjusted to the market. Their adjustment was like making a u-turn in a aircraft carrier which dosent turn on a dime. Good news all in all.

"I saw an ad for Olivia in the newspaper. I was moving across the country while my husband went overseas, and had never bought a house before. The single worst position to be in. Olivia explained the entire process to me, step by step, from across 3 time zones. She got to know me and what I wanted, and though I'd planned to wait until I got here and could see the house, she got to know me so well that she managed to find a house I was comfortable enough buying from across the country--and we love it! There were many times I felt I was Olivias only client. She took all the time needed to explain whatever needed to be explained. Olivia ROCKS!"
