Hello again everyone. The Mesquite Real Estate Association of which I am vice President of, met Tuesday with Bryan Dangerfield the Director of Economic Development for the City of Mesquite and Josh Olmsted one of the owners for the Desert Falls International Sports Resort. As I have told you in previous blogs, Desert Falls is really a huge complex and quite a large undertaking. Mr. Olmsted, who I believe is very serious about getting this project completed, went into to great detail on what the resort was going to be like.
There has been a lot of skepticism as to whether or not the DFISR would ever be started let alone completed. However, according to Olmsted they intend to break ground just after the first of the year and the goal is to be playing on the new softball fields in 2010. When asked about funding for the company, Olmsted said that the developers are working with a trust and that Phase one of the project is fully funded. The complex, in case you weren't aware, is of course going to have the different sports facilities but also dining, shopping and housing. It looks to be a fantastic resort and is being compared to Disney World type resort rather than another sports complex.
Will it ever happen? Well as you know the developers have put a down payment of $316,000, and I don't think they will want to loose that. However, we will have to wait and see. If they break ground after the first of the year I will feel a little better. It has been delayed as most construction projects do but I can tell your that Mr. Olmsted and others seemed to be very determined to complete the resort and also to make sure that it is engineered correctly from the beginning. Remember folks this is a 500 million dollar project to be built over 5 years. It's gong to take a while but with the increase of tourist and jobs I believe that it will be a great asset for a town.

There is a home owners association and a master plan association, which allows the owners to use the pool and club house facilities. This home is a "Short Sale" and all offers must be approved by the seller's lender. For more information on this home contact Torres Ramey at 702-371-2785 | ||||

Once again I find that we are getting a lot of questions about short sales. Most of these questions seem to be about time issues i. e. How long does it take to get an answer from the sellers bank? How long until the deal will be finally done? etc..
The truth lies somewhere between, "I have no idea," and "possibly before the next millennium." Some agents including myself have teamed up with different "Short Sale Processors" who seem to have better luck in getting the deal closed. Not necessarily faster, just in getting them approved. The main reason for this is their efficiency with the paperwork. Clients don't usually know this but the banks all require certain forms in an order that they want the file in. The problem is that all banks have different forms from each other and the order and how they get them delivered is a mystery for the ages! So the short sale processors usually have all of the main banks and some of the smaller ones figured out and their list grows daily thus making it easier and less time consuming for the agent and the banks.
There is unfortunately a bank out there who can take over nine months to get an approval and then are shocked when the buyer's appraisal comes in a lot lower than the original price. If that happens to you, most likely you will have to re-submit the new appraisal to the sellers lender and even possibly start the negotiation process over again. Wow! No one really knows how long these deals will take including the lenders. The investors sometimes take quite a while when you make it to that stage. It's really a shame that we can't clear these properties sooner, it would be better for all involved.
Why do a short sale then? Well, lenders say it's better on your credit report than a foreclosure but I have heard that they will still count against you just as much as a foreclosure so not sure how accurate that information is... The true fact is that if you intend to do a short sale, you better contact an attorney to find out what the consequences are in your state. The laws are different in each state and the sale could be the best thing or the worst thing for you. Whatever you decided to do have patience when you are buying or selling a short sale, as I wrote in one of my earlier blogs. "The only thing short about a short sale, is the money."
