Why Las Vegas real estate’s future in three to five years is so bright, you need to wear shades
2008-01-24 21:34:34
America loves hyping snapshots, and all the news and pundit’s discussions of it are focused on such events of the moment. The problem is that a snapshot is a picture of a moment and misses the big picture and long term trends. Same hype resulted in the irrational exuberance of 2003-2005 in Las Vegas real [...]...
 
Las Vegas median home price statistics, to believe or not to believe, conclusion
2008-01-23 20:47:30
As I stated in the last blog post, it is not helpful to make a decision on buying a Las Vegas or Henderson home based on the median and average prices, or the newspaper articles which base their “expert prediction” on these numbers.  As I stated before, expert predictions are based on sold prices and [...]...
 
Las Vegas median home price statistics, to believe or not to believe, that is the question
2008-01-07 21:27:50
The median and average Greater Las Vegas residential pricing and expert predictions which are built up on these numbers are akin to someone saying that the median or average price of food items in a Super WalMart are $3.45. What does that number tell you? Does it tell you what the price of a gallon [...]...

My visit to SKY Las Vegas which is a Las Vegas High-rise condo project
2007-09-21 03:56:39
As promised I will add Las Vegas high-rise condo pages to my web-site. Today I visited Sky Las Vegas. Sky Las Vegas is the first residential high-rise condo on the Las Vegas Strip. The models are on the 31st floor.  From the balcony I could see construction activities for Echelon project which is Harrah’s answer to MGM’s CityCenter. At this time they are moving dirt around and preparing the land. Fountainebleau is quite a bit further along and 4-5 floors have already been constructed. I keep being impressed by the sales staff of these high-rise condo projects and this one was no exception. I want to give real information about these condo projects to my customers like HOA (home owner association) fees which run ab...
 
My problems with hackers and spammers.
2007-09-18 03:18:52
I have not blogged in the last few days and the reason is that my web-site and blog are under constant attack by hackers and spammers from a range of web-sites, including adult-sites, online pill-pushers and Florida vehicle and vehicle related web-sites. Funny, one of the biggest spammers is a web-site which offers legal advice to the victims of vehicle accidents. If people only knew what kind of scum they get their legal advice from. Notice I have not used other synonyms for vehicle since that is how they find their victims, by Googling the other synonyms. In order to fight this I have to take many steps which I can’t discuss here since a great deal of attacks are prompted by my web log. I hope you excuse some delays which could not be avoided while I...

This is the fourth article ofWhy and how this blog and its companion web-site Las Vegas homes, condos and commercial Estate">real estate came to be. This is a lesson in life, business, planning and execution3: People had to be able to find my web site relatively easily.The most important factor in designing a web-site with the top of search engine results in mind is the structure of the web site.

How I began my real estate career in Las Vegas, Nevada. Criteria to design my real estate web site.
2007-09-10 07:02:04
 This is the second article ofWhy and how this blog and its companion web-site Las Vegas homes, condos and commercial real estate came to be. This is a lesson in life, business, planning and executionBy the time we arrived in Las Vegas in Oct. 2003, the Las Vegas real estate market was on fire. Everybody and their aunts and uncles were getting into the business. The number of Las Vegas real estate agent reps (unless you are a Las Vegas real estate broker you are called a real estate agent representative since you are representing your broker) went from under 10,000 to 17,000 in no time and everyone, especially brokers, made a lot of money since those who got their real estate lice...

BackgroundMy dear wife Karen, whose opinion I value greatly, told me that she didn’t like the last few posts and that these posts were not reflective of my personality and style. I agree and will change things accordingly.First a few words about me so you can get a picture of my environment as it is essential to this discussion. A bad accident can be a point of discontinuity in a person’s life and an auto accident turned mine upside down in October 1996 and due to the same accident I don’t remember much about my life prior to the accident other than being a habitual underperformer. I had studied electrical engineering and ended up with a low C average and was drifting through life aimlessly. One day I came across a quote from Michael Jordan. It said “AT SOME POINT YOU HAVE TO STOP ...
 
Help is under way for Las Vegas distressed home owners with strings attached
2007-09-06 05:53:53
Following are excerpts from an article published in FHA Mortgage Guide by Peter G. Miller1: “The Administration Will Also Launch A New FHA Initiative Called “FHA-Secure.” The President has asked Secretary Jackson to pursue important administrative changes to give FHA the flexibility to help more families stay in their homes during this time of transition in the mortgage market. The FHA-Secure program will help people who have good credit but who have not made all of their payments on time because of rising mortgage payments. For the first time, FHA will be able to offer many of these homeowners an option to refinance their existing mortgage so they can make their payments and keep their homes. FHA will also charge mortgage insurance premiums based on the individual risk of each loan,...
