It's Barely Spring, but the Las Vegas Real Estate Market is HOT!

It's the time of year again, the time when homes are selling quickly! 

Homes are selling almost as quickly as they are listed on the market. It's still a seller's market (with less than 6 months of inventory on the market) it makes it competitive for buyers looking to purchase. Low ball offers are not being accepted, and buyers can miss out. It's a great time to list your home for sale as inventory levels are low and the market cannot keep up with the needs of buyers at the current rates.

If you home is in the $175,000.00 to $250,000.00 price range, expect it to fly off the market. Homes in the $250,000.00 to $400,000.00 price range are not much different. With plenty of demand, we encourage you not to wait. Now is the time! Homes are appreciating throughout the Las Vegas Valley.

We understand the market and that it's a busy time to work, with the market factors they way the are, and we work for your with the speed of business! Give us a call, 702-379-3401, we can help get your home sold or get you into a new or existing home.

Not sure what your home is worth, give us a call, 702-379-3401, we can set you up with a custom on-site property evaluation at no cost to you. We can help you sell your home for Top Dollar!

We will do just about anything to get your listing and get your home sold!

 It's a Sellers Market- Sell Your Vegas Home for Top Dollar...

Home values are increasing!

We keep a close eye on the Las Vegas Community & Real Estate Market and with less than 6 months of inventory of available homes for sale in Las Vegas, it is considered a seller's market. Demand is high and since we technically only have only about a 3-4 month supply of homes, it's a great time to consider selling your home. Understanding your property value is important. Don't go out searching on some of those inaccurate nationwide websites (they are often incorrect by 5-50%), real estate is local and we can provide you with an estimate that is accurate. Request a home value estimate now!

Dave, of The Radcliffe Group, breaks down the home selling process and shares what you can expect when working with his team as a home seller. Dave's tools and experience can help you earn top dollar for the sale of your property. Please contact us at 702-379-3401 with questions. We're happy to give you more specific information suited to your needs or to give you a no obligation valuation of your property.

Should I Sell? Upgrade? Remodel?

2016 Happy New Year!

The New Year started great, with a very brisk real estate market here in Las Vegas. The Radcliffe Group has sold several houses over the weekend and past week; some in a matter of hours from when they hit the market; and some with competing bids! We can help you get yours sold too!

Should we sell? Upgrade? Remodel?

There is a lot to think about and we can help you evaluate what is best for your situation. We can help you determine what your current home value is and your ROI when you sell. We know what homes and neighborhoods have been increasing in value. Home prices in Las Vegas are up from this time last year, allow us complete a custom home evaluation for you. We can even help you determine if it's the right time to retire. Selling your home on your own can be deadly, let us do the job for you!

Little know fact:

When a homeowner signs a contract with a Realtor to sell their home, it's usually for a certain period of time. Homes that are set to expire, usually set to expire 12/31 or 1/1 which means inventory of available homes are needed and we often we see price adjustments this time of year because it's time to renew contracts for homes that have gone unsold for one reason or another. Since the Holidays are now over,  new listings are hitting on the market and buyers are out looking for homes.

Don't miss out on the opportunity this market is providing to you. Give us a call and allow us to help you get your home sold for top dollar or get into the home of your dreams.

Is Your Home Value Increasing- Las Vegas Real Estate

Las Vegas Appreciation Map by Zip Code

Is your Las Vegas Home Value Increasing?

Below are two different maps that appear to be very similar. And that's because the maps are broken down by Las Vegas area zip codes and color coded to show boundaries. The difference is the first map shows home value appreciation for Single Family Homes Valued at $400,000.000 plus while the second map shows Las Vegas Home value appreciation for Single Family Homes Valued less than $399,999.00. Different parts of town are appreciating at different rates and differently in different price ranges. The map compares November 2014 vs November 2015.  

Appreciation Rate for Las Vegas Home Values $400,000.00+

Keep in mind little change shows a very stable market. A negative percentage shows a decline year over year, but since real estate is a local market, and values have climbed in the past few years its somewhat normal to see some variation. The greater Las Vegas area has less than a 30% count of homes that are still underwater, much different than in years past and we still see a decreasing trend. There is a lot of pricing competition for new homes. The median home value in Las Vegas currently is $220,000.00

Appreciation Rate for Las Vegas Home Values $399,999.00 and under

 What is your home valued at?

Each home has it's unique selling features and is valued based on specific comparable properties and upgrades. The Radcliffe Group is happy to do a free- no-obligation on site evaluation of your property to help you best understand you home's value and marketability. It's a great seller's market and interest rates are low, so buyers are benefiting in this market as well. Demand for homes is high in the Summerlin area, with available inventory. Give us a call if we can help you get your home sold. 702-379-3401www.DaveRadcliffeVegas.com

Las Vegas Median House Prices

What is your Las Vegas Home Worth?

The median home price in Las Vegas continues to hold strong at $220,000.00  for the forth consecutive month in a row, with a slight dip of $2,000 during the month of July 2015, otherwise it would have been for five straight months. Home prices are up from the first half of the year when they were at the low $200,000.00's at the beginning of the year.

Available inventory remained relatively unchanged throughout the 2015 calendar year, with approximately 13,000 homes on the market in Clark County, less than a 30-60 day supply in most neighborhoods around town.

With such low inventory and 67% of homes selling in less than 60 days after being listed for sale, it is considered a strong seller's market yet with benefits for buyers (as well) as mortgage rates are at record lows; and the expectation of an increase as the year progresses. Homes listed for sale that have been on the market for 120+ days make up for 13% of the homes listed and as a general rule, Realtors believe homes listed for long period of time such as this are often considered over priced and the home owner should consider a price reduction if serious about selling.

What does this mean for you?

Are you unsure what your Las Vegas, Summerlin, Centennial Hills, North Las Vegas or Skye Canyon Home is Worth? The Radcliffe Group can help you determine the most accurate value for your home and help you to sell in a time frame that meets your needs when they market your Las Vegas area home for sale. Because each home is unique with specific upgrades, features and conditions, it's important to see The Radcliffe Group for a comparative market analysis before selling your home. Sites like Homevalues and Zillow can have a margin of error of 5-50%, so counting on a website will likely give you inaccurate data.

Without an actual crystal ball it's hard to know for sure what the Las Vegas Real Estate economy will look like in the coming months, however Dave keeps a close eye on the pulse of the market and reports in his Crystal Ball Report, what he thinks will happen based on our market. (Check it out here.)

Real Estate Blues Got You Down?

702-379-3401 www.DaveRadcliffeVegas.com 

Stop singing the real estate blues!

There are lots of reasons why real estate may have you singing the blues! Maybe it’s the 1% Agent Blues? Maybe it’s Trulia and Zillow that have got you down? Maybe it’s that you don’t have the right agent working for you or you’ve decided to go it alone? Scared of commissions?  At the Radcliffe Group, we can make those real estate blues go away!

6 signs you need a Top Realtor working for you

1. You hired a real estate agent for 1% and no one is showing your home

You’ve Got the Blues: Often hiring a discount brokerage means you receive discount services. Discount brokerages often short change you on marketing your home properly, listing your home in the MLS and netting you the most possible when it comes time to sell. A discount brokerage means you do a lot of the work yourself or miss out. A discount brokerage will discount their prices because they often lack training, education, technology knowledge and are lacking in brokerage support or are not capable of negotiating in your best interest. After all, they allowed you to negotiate them out of a commission. Is that really who you want negotiating on your behalf?

Solution: Dave Radcliffe and his team have an extensive marketing, social media, MLS and network of professionals and Realtors focused on getting your home sold for the highest price in today’s market. After 27 years in the business, Dave’s experience and connections makes all the difference.  Out of more than 10,000 real estate agents in the greater Las Vegas and Clark County area, Dave Radcliffe ranks among the Top 1% of Realtors as number 101 during the second quarter of 2015. Dave Radcliffe ranked number 1 in 2014 as the top producing individual out of 172 Realtor-Agents in his office.

2. You are searching for homes on Trulia.com (or other site) and find the homes are gone before you can see them

You’ve Got the Blues: Searching on random real estate websites can be confusing, and since the data is generated from Realtors entering the home in the MLS first, updates can take as long as 2-72 hours before a site like Trulia gets updated.  And 3^rd party sites like Trulia sell your contact information: address, phone number and email to agents so you end up swamped with junk mail, spam and unsolicited phone calls. Because over 50 million consumers visit Trulia each month, they sell your info and jeopardize your privacy.

Solution: Making sure you are working with a qualified Top Producing Realtor®  and his team, like Dave Radcliffe, assures you get the most up to date information possible and in live time. Dave can set you up with instant updates so as new information or new listings hit the market, you see them as soon as your Realtor® does and long before other sites like Trulia or Zillow. The Radcliffe Group would never sell your information; we work with you directly, your information stays private.

3. Zillow has you home valued 8-20% less than current Market Value

You’ve Got the Blues: “Automated valuation models are based on mathematical assumptions and are not able to consider special factors that may make your home more valuable.” Special features like pools, upgrades, casitas, room additions, and etcetera may not be factored in. 

Zillow has a “median error rate of 8%, which means 50% of the Zestimates in an area are closer than the error percentage and 50% are farther off.” And that means only 50% of the time. I’ve seen reports that show they are off 8-20% consistently.  This means that on a $300,000 property, the price has a 95% probability of being between $277,500 and $322,500. That’s a $45,000 range or in other words, a $45,000 error! 

And their site only updates “automatically computed 3 times per week!”

Solution: A true and accurate home evaluation needs to be figured by and experienced Realtor®. On a $300,000 listing, most competent agents, like Dave Radcliffe and his team, can predict the price within $5,000-$10,000. We know the current market, review a comparative market analysis (with you) before we list your home, and update you with statistics when your home is listed for sale with us. We regularly send out market updates through video blogs for the greater Las Vegas area, Centennial Hills, Summerlin and Sky Canyon areas to keep you informed and knowledgeable on the market conditions.

4. You’ve been driving around and still can’t find what you want in a new home

You’ve Got the Blues: It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what you want my just seeing the outside of a home. You never know condition or details until you do more research.

Solution: We sit down with you, complete a needs analysis and dream overview and then we do the research for you and make sure you only see homes that fit your unique criteria saving you valuable time and money. This assures you don’t miss the right home when it hits the market. National Association of Realtor® statistics show 89% of home buyers use a qualified Realtor®  while only 51% rely on a yard sign, 45% on a website or mobile app, 45% visit open houses, 42% use a search engine and 23% look for print media. Your Realtor® is your best bet!

5. You decided to sell it yourself (FSBO) and have no idea how to protect yourself contractually or legally

You’ve Got the Blues: The National Association of Realtors(R) reports that most sellers that sold privately (without a Realtor®) said the most difficult tasks for them was: Understanding and performing paperwork: 18%, Getting the right price: 13%, Preparing/fixing up home for sale: 12%, Helping buyer obtain financing: 3%, Attracting potential buyers: 3%, Selling within the planned length of time: 7%, Having enough time to devote to all aspects of the sale: 6%

Selling by yourself is complicated and you are taking a big risk. That’s why less than 18% of home sellers try to do it on their own. Only half of the home sellers who try to sell themselves actually sell their home on their own.

Solution: “88% of sellers were assisted by a real estate agents when selling their home. Recent sellers typically sold their homes for 97% of the listing price” when listed with an agent, netting a higher value than when they sold on their own. The Radcliffe Group is here to help you net the highest value possible and will often even push values, fight and report low appraisals to help you get the highest ROI on your Las Vegas home when for sale. When you have an agent, you have someone working for you!

6. You think saving a commission will save you money

You’ve Got the Blues: It may cost you more to sell yourself. According to the NAR Home Buyer and Seller Report, statistics show saving a commission often causes you to lose money on the home selling price. The median selling price of a home sold by owner was 15.4% less than agent-assisted transactions*. That means in most cases, agents pay their own commissions, and sellers still receive more money than if they had done all the work themselves. So typically with an agent, you net more money and free yourself from all the paper, details and legalities involved throughout the process.

Solution: FSBOs accounted for 9% of home sales in 2013. The typical FSBO home sold for $184,000 compared to $230,000 for agent-assisted home sales. That means a Realtor like Dave can help you net more, there was nearly a $46,000 price difference/increase for homes when sold by an agent. When you factor in commissions you still save! 

As a retired police officer, Dave is passionate about giving back to the service community and dedicates much of his time giving and supporting the Las Vegas Metro Police Department, Firefighters and Military at Nellis Air Force Base. Military, Fire and Law enforcement never pay a full commission when they work with the Radcliffe Group, so be sure to inquire with Dave and his team if you are military, law enforcement or in fire and rescue.

We are here to help!
