There is some controversy and speculation among real estate experts in our local Las Vegas market, where it is clear there are many more foreclosed homes that will eventually enter the market. All you have to do is drive around town, and you'll see the dotting of empty homes with dead lawns, but no for sale signs. Some say that banks are choosing to release only a small amount of the existing REO homes to artificially sustain housing prices, and others argue that lenders simply don't have the staff to handle the sheer volume of foreclosures. Whatever the reason, the slow trickle of homes being added to the marketplace is good news for Las Vegas, and we'll take it.

Near the end of one of the worst years in housing on record, any good news is welcome. Housing prices have fallen more than 50% since the 2006 peak, but they've stabilized over the past 5 months as we have awaited the wave of foreclosure inventory that never happened. Analysts say that as long as the current number of homes on the market remains close to the present level, we're seeing enough demand to keep prices stable for the near future. Year-to-date figures of existing home sales show a 47% increase from this time last year.

In October, banks took back 2,301 homes, which is almost 2% less than in September and 6% less than the same month a year ago. In turn, they sold off 2,260, which is whittling away at the total REO inventory that is sitting on the market (currently at 12,624). While some estimates say that there are anywhere between 20,000 and 75,000 homes that are expected to come through the foreclosure pipeline, they have yet to show up with the intensity that we anticipated. And, for now, that is a good thing.

These are interesting times in the Las Vegas valley! If you're ready to jump on some of the great deals on REO properties, Give me, Yonas Woldu a call - I'm your real estate expert in the Las Vegas Valley! Also visit my Vegas Real Property website and the new AskYonas website

With (Patience) Dreams & Visions Do Come True for Robert Swetz ............

With (Patience) Dreams & Visions Do Come True for Robert Swetz ............

Seven years ago I had a very strange Dream that formed into a Vision that has been bothering me. It will continue to bother me until I get this Vision out which is why I am writing a book about this Dream/ Vision.

I started working on this book in the beginning of 2009 and posted a blog at Activerain searching for someone to help me write this book. Well around 5 months ago someone from Activerain came forward to help me write this book and get my story out.

We do live in a very small world not only did I find some one from Activerain to help me with my book, this person is from Las Vegas Nevada .............. (Bonus)!

She is my (Mystery) Ghost writer, oops you didn't hear that from me.

I received a phone call from her today and she had some great news to tell me. My book is still in a early enough stage to be written into such a way that it would be easy to make into a movie.

Well, she has some friends in the movie business and I will be meeting with them next week to go over my book with them. One of her friends is going to help us format my book into script form so it will not have to be re-written if I decide to make a movie, which in turn will save me so much money.

My friend also mentioned to me that she has friends in Hollywood that direct & produce independent movies and they also want to speak with me in the later stages of the book.

I am very excited about what is going to be taking place in my life!

And years ago when I was growing up I was always so impatient, if I couldn't have it today I didn't want it. When I started projects, ideas, careers, etc., in my life and if I couldn't make it happen in a very short time I would throw it aside and move on.

My patience is really starting to pay off and I would like to personally thank the Activerain Network for helping bring this person helping me with my book, and I will be revealing who this person is when they are ready.

I hope this post can help and encourage others to please be patient with everything they do because I have and it is a (Dream Come True)!

I would like to dedicate this post to all the (Children) of the world that have been sexually abused because this book is all about you and you need to be heard!

Here is a (link) for a free network on my new book ..........

Several intangibles of Las Vegas Strip development.

With the new CLOUD NINE Hot Air Balloon ride attraction behind him, Las Vegas enthusiast and Celebrity Real Estate Agent Aaron Auxier shares several intangibles of Las Vegas Strip development. Including why gaming corporations are hesitant to waste their prime Strip land on true residential high-rise condos such as the rare Veer Towers and Sky Las Vegas, why "boutique high-end" should just be another theme, and how Sin City needs to stay Sin City by building crazy, unique, income-producing attractions for adults.
