Each quarter David Radcliffe publishes an economic update covering the greater Las Vegas area and real estate market. Tune into his YouTube channel for the latest updates and forecast outlook updates. Check out his latest update now:
Economy
Gas
prices had reduced to $2.00 per gallon and are back up to close to
$2.80-$3.00; we thought the reduction may increase air travel, and it
did not. The fracking has slowed up and places were closed, so prices
have edged back up with economic conditions.
Land Prices
Land
prices are constant at $400,000 an acre. The question is rather they
will stay there? It is very likely Builders won’t pay more than $400k an
acre, as it would be hard to absorb or pass on to home-buyers.
Las Vegas Foreclosures & Short Sales
We are seeing an uptick in Foreclosure properties, approximately 9% of the Las Vegas Real Estate market is Foreclosure properties. Short sales are decreasing, now under 8% of the current market conditions, this could be due to the Mortgage Debt Relief Act was not being extended. It looks like Short Sales are non-players in the market going forward. Learn more about current conditions and keep an eye on the Las Vegas Real Estate Market Here.
Super
priority liens Nevada Supreme Court did not release the second part of
the ruling; legislator is in session and will be bills will be discussed
to address, rather if an HOA can wipe out and extinguish a deed of
trust and foreclose on a property for non-payment of HOA assessments.
The Supreme Court is clearly looking for a legislative solution. What is
a Super Priority Lien, you ask? It’s a category of lien that, pursuant
to state statute, is given a higher priority than all other types of
liens. When it comes to HOA assessment liens, a super lien refers to
that portion of a homeowners' association lien that is given higher
priority than even the first-mortgage holder, placing the interest of
the HOA in front of the first mortgage. Learn more about Super Priority Liens Here.
Real Estate Law Changes
Lending changes are expected August 1st
where the HUD1 and Truth in Lending Disclosure will be replaced by
different forms that may cause longer escrow periods, up to 40 days,
CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) says it could take a
ridiculous amount of time, like 92 days. We have some of the best escrow officers in the business on our team
and will do everything to keep escrows short. There is a lot of
education taking place in the real estate industry to get everyone up to
speed. View our Law Meets Real Estate Educational Series by watching now.
Market Conditions & Real Estate Updates
Local
demand is heavy especially in Summerlin; listings are flying out of the
market with multiple offers on the table. There is a lot of growth in
Summerlin, take a look at our Summerlin Video Series Here.
There are slight inventory increases and moderate increases in values. Some areas are having appraisal issues, is it due to the recent appraisal changes?
When we see concerns we challenge them, sometimes they appraisal comes
in and are just terrible reports, not reflective of the current market. Take a look at our Appraisal Video Series Here.
Interest Rates
Change in interest rates are, possible mid-summer. There is Free Money out there right now.
The Fed no longer has “patience” as part of its guidance; Jobs report
that came out shows that inflation may be ticking up, the outlook looks
more like July or August at this point for an increase. We keep an eye
on the mortgage market for you, and have great lenders we can refer you to by Clicking Here. Bottom line, it’s a great time to refinance, purchase, or sell as the opportunity time is now!
