About Las Vegas' Centennial Hills

The Senate voted last Wednesday night to give a tax break of up to $15,000 to homebuyers in hopes of revitalizing the housing industry, but it isn't official yet...

Senator Johnny Isakson, a Georgia Republican who sponsored the amendment, said it was critical to pulling the economy out of the worst recession in decades. "If we don't fix housing first, it doesn't matter what else we fix," Isakson said. Isakson patterned his plan after a decades-old idea he says helped lift the economy out of recession in 1975. Isakson's website

The provision faces an uncertain future because it would have to win support in the House of Representatives to be included in the final economic stimulus plan. The Senate provision would allow homeowners to split the $15,000 into two separate tax credits of $7,500 to be taken in successive years. Bloomberg.com

The new credit, approved by the Senate Wednesday night, could work like this: Buyers would get 10 percent of the purchase price of any home, up to $15,000, applied to their tax bill.

Purchases must be made within one year of the legislation's enactment, and the tax credit would not have to be repaid.

Anyone who buys a home within a year of the bill's signature would qualify. To deter speculators, buyers must occupy the house as their main residence for at least two years.

This proposal is definitely causing many people to think a bit more seriously about buying a home in 2009.

Stay tuned and Let's see what happens on Tuesday, Feb 9, 2009.

Did you tune in today?

If you did you heard about how Suze is giving away her book (online version at Oprah.com) for the next few days only.

It is a new book for 2009, Keeping your money safe and sound.

Now I know, some of you don't like Suze for one reason or another, or you may not agree with everything she says, but lets face it we can all use any tidbit of help we may get in these everchangeing times.

Centennial Hills is a suburb of Las Vegas, located in the upper NorthWest part of Las Vegas, Nv. Take 95 Northwest from downtown.

If you are looking to live in an area that is not to close to the strip, but still provides most everything one could want in a community, then Centennial Hills might be a good fit for you & your family.

Just like any other suburb, there is a commute of about 20-30 minutes depending on time of day & what part of town you are coming from or heading to. Many hear about it from the car ads on the radio & tv.

There are many new home communitys and several master plan communitys such as Providence & Alianta. It is a hop, skip & a jump away from the entrance to Kyle Canyon/Mt Charleston. You can get everything from a condo for about $90,000 to a mansion in the area.

There isn't a day go by that we see new construction of some kind. Maybe the new homes, the roads, schools, stores, parks,etc. The new HOV lane on the freeway. Lots of new parks popping up all the time. The new YMCA, the future library and more.

Good ol' Floyd Lamb Park, soon to change hands

I have been in this area going on 5 years now & the growth up here has been booming. I have been in Vegas long enough to remember when Ann Rd off the 95 got the gas station. Most of the horse/ATV trails have been replaced with homes. There are still some areas for riding and some homes on very large lots, even horse property.

Many of us have waited for the Centennial Hills hospital to open & it is finally open now. Now we are awaiting our new mall, which has been redesigned and as of now will take some lead from the likes of Town Center & The District at least that is the latest idea.

We still have many shops in the area even without the mall. Kohls, Target, Ross, Albertson, Smiths,Kirklands,Pier 1,Walmart, just to name a few.

And, places to eat! OMGosh! There are so many, I haven't been able to try them all!

Aliante Station Casino is due to open the end of 2008. Until then enjoy the newly remolded Sante Fe Casion nearby.

It is a bit higher elevation and we have some breathtaking views of the city from almost any place on the roads up here. Sunsets & Sunrises are just awesome! Below is a sunrise!

There are many services in the area as well, day spas, vets, quick care, doctors, dentists,etc.

While there are a lot of new things to see and do in the area, there are many old time favorites places like Gilcrease Orchard, Floyd Lamb Park, Bob Taylor's Ranch House

If you would like more information on the area or have any questions feel free to email me or give me a call.
