Las Vegas as a Community
Las Vegas real estate has seen a huge increase in appreciation in recent years. New home values and resale home values alike have gained tremendously. Land prices have increased a great deal as well. So, many ask, "what is Las Vegas like as a community?" Many imagine The Strip as the way of the city. Many picture glitz, glamour, gaming, and excitement 24x7, 365 days a year. For some, that is true. The Las Vegas community provides residents with whatever they look for. If a resident wants constant excitement there is plenty of it. On the other hand, if one wants a strong job market they will find it. If they want a quiet neighborhood to live in there are many. Schools, shopping centers, business centers, motor speed ways, desert mountains, social clubs, churches (some reports have suggested there are more churches per capita in Las Vegas than any other city), martial arts centers, etc. In Las Vegas, if you want something, you can find it...more on the Las Vegas community...
Average Home Size to Shrink in Future
Home owners generally are shifting their preferences in housing styles according to a local news blog. The size of a home by squarefootage is at a peak and will likely decrease in the future. People want larger master bedrooms and less living room. Personally, I don't agree with that reason but the idea may grow on me. I see the master bedroom as a place for bedroom activities and a living room for company and other non-bedroom activities. I don't understand the mixing of the two living spaces. Anyway, personal preference...
The blog post claimed, "Although the size of the average home has been on the rise, to 2,495 last year from 1,500 square feet in 1973, consumers are beginning to choosse higher quality living spaces over additional square footage, according to Ahluwalia, who spoke at the recent International Builders Show in Orlando, Fla."
I can see where home affordability is strained by increasing fuel costs. Residents, whether owners or renters, feel those burdens and if trends remain on pace I can see the trend to downsize.
An aging population will also tend to downsize. They like less stairs and need fewer rooms usually.
The whole idea provokes thought for those of us who want a large house. Will it be as sellable in five years or a decade as it is today? Many people on the five year plan may factor that into the decision as they look to buy this up and coming house. The best appreciation of the future will be for houses where demand will remain consistent or increase. Personally, I am on the five year plan and will be looking for a house that will build value as much as possible.

Using Solar Power to Run a Home
In response to a post I wrote earlier today about local power cost woes I tried to get a little creative and briefly explored the possibilities of using some other power source than our standard community power company. The Nellis Air Force Base announced it would be building a huge solar facility on its grounds and would produce 30% of the needed power with those panels. So, what does it take to power a home with solar panels? I turned to the clever How Stuff Works for the answer: http://home.howstuffworks.com/question418.htm
Currently, a resident would have to remain in a home for quite some time to recouperate the costs. I imagine that in some future the costs will decrease and power companies will be paying us for pushing power back into their grid. I look forward to that day.

The Price of Power Plants for the Future
Nevada Power has announced an increase in power costs on account of new power plants designed to make generating power more efficient. These facilities are said to be more efficient than others in the region and provide substantial benefits to customers.
"Is another increase in your power rates on the horizon? A two percent increase is already on the boards for June, but on Monday Nevada Power was before the Public Utilities Commission asking for another 7.4 percent.
"These power plants are highly efficient...In other words, they burn fuel more efficiently than existing power plants either in our system or in the region..."
Sierra Pacific resources claims benefits come from more efficient plants. I am curious as to why more efficient plants cause benefits including raised rates. More efficient would suggest lower costs to create the power leading to lower rates to consumers. It seems the benefits may be in the fact we have cutting edge power generation technology and that will cause lower rate hikes in the future as inflation naturally drives up prices. For now, southern Nevada home owners be prepared for a potential increase.
- Make sure your thermostat is level and set between 78 and 80 degrees. It will save you as much as 10% on your bill.
- Cover windows and keep drapes closed during the day.
- Use fans with the air conditioner to help circulate the cool air.
- Get all of your chores done during cooler times of the day.
As a side note, fuel prices seem to rise all around us. Gasoline prices have shot up nationally. Las Vegas gasoline is currently at around $2.83 per gallon.
Boulder City Homes, Real Estate, and Property
Boulder City real estate offers amazing access to stunning features of Southern Nevada. It is a quiet community tucked just over the mountains southeast of Las Vegas. It is a short drive from Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam to the east and from the Las Vegas Strip to the northwest.

Resale Sales Up; New Home Sales Down
Two nationwide reports were recently released with very interesting information. One said that new home sales were off for the second month in a row while the other claimed that resale home sales were up in February.
According to MSNBC, resale homes "rose in February by the largest amount in nearly three years."
"The National Association of Realtors reported Friday that sales of existing homes rose by 3.9 percent last month, pushed higher by a sharp increase in sales activity in the Northeast. It was the biggest increase since a similar increase in March 2004.
The increase pushed sales up to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.69 million units, still 3.6 percent lower than a year ago. Sales fell by 8.5 percent for all of last year as housing hit a sharp slowdown after setting sales records for five straight years."
In many areas, including Las Vegas, resale inventories have continued to rise to record numbers. An increase in resale activity is welcome after months of slowdown.
On the other hand, new home sales are reported to be down for a second month. MSNBC writes, "Sales of new homes fell sharply for a second consecutive month in February...
"The Commerce Department reported Monday that sales of new single-family homes fell by 3.9 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 848,000, the slowest sales pace in nearly seven years. All regions of the country except the West experienced weakness last month.
The February decline followed an even larger 15.8 percent drop in sales in January, which had been the largest one-month plunge in 13 years. The back-to-back declines provided evidence that the housing market is continuing to struggle with lagging demand and a glut of unsold homes."
New homes sales are off which is what we have been told by several previous reports. Builders expect a flat year for 2007. That should signal to buyers and investors to keep their eyes out for great deals. It's often a good idea to buy when everyone else is selling.
Las Vegas Flight Patterns
It seems every few years a debate arises about the McCarran airport flight patterns. Recently that debate was sparked once again when the flight patterns were altered to pass over many communities across the valley. News channels covered the story posing the question as to whether or not the changes in the patterns affected real estate in Las Vegas. Several home owners and real estate agents were interviewed. Some claimed there would be a direct impact on home values while other suggested that there would be little if any impact.
Mayor Goodman among others oppose the change in flight patterns considerably. Some have created web sites to combat the changes.
Time will tell if any real affects will occur due to the changes. If history is any indicator changes are likely to occur in the future.

West Nile in Las Vegas
A Las Vegas news channel ran a short segment on the beginning of the bug season. They suggested that the West Nile Virus could be minimized in Las Vegas if real estate owners and residents treated their swimming pools and any other standing water. They claimed that it only takes a cup of water for a mosquito to breed. Several cases of west nile were reported last year which prompted the announcement. They recommended removing standing areas of water or contacting a professional to learn how to treat the water so mosquitos don't get a chance to breed.
Las Vegas City Descriptions
The Greater Las Vegas Valley is comprised of multiple cities. Each has its own set of distinct communities and amenities.

Boulder City, as well as some other smaller unincorporated communities, are often grouped in as "Las Vegas".
Las Vegas cities typically have a similar feel and culture. However, there are differences in each that provide residents with choices according to their housing and community preferences. Each city has its communities away from The Strip and each has communities with relatively quick access to The Strip. Each city has amenities like parks, golf courses, shopping centers, business parks, schools, and recreational facilities to enhance your standard of living.
Some of the community laws differ from city to city. Some deal with gaming differently than Las Vegas proper. Each has its own governing body and it is important to look into each as you prepare to move to the valley.

Appreciation amounts in these cities have varied and future growth and appreciation will be affected by city planning and current trends.

Man Saws House in Two
I found this new article to be hilarious! In a divorce a man measured his house, pulls out the chainsaw and goes to work. He cut it in two and hauled off his portion.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17545638/
The tag line fits suitably: "We can only hope there are no kids or pets".
Oddly enough I'm sure we can think of other situations where this might apply when things go south. I guess it's the "cut your losses" mentality.
Central Las Vegas Communities
Central Las Vegas Communities are at the core of the Las Vegas valley. Many of the homes and estates carry a great deal of Las Vegas History.

West Las Vegas Communities

Many other high-quality and high end homes surround Summerlin in communities designed for comfort and function. The west side of Las Vegas is a great place to live and call home.
The west side of the Las Vegas valley boasts some of the best views. Panoramic vistas of the Strip to the east and Redrock and surrounding mountains are breathtaking from many homes. Building requirements by some of the associations preserve these views because they require building size restrictions. When the Redrock Casino was recently built the developers were instructed to keep it to a minimal number of stories an color it according to the association's approved pallets so the maximum number of great views of the valley could be preserved.

National Housing for 2007 looks Bleak - Buyers listening?
D. R. Horton, the nations largest home builder said the 2007 home selling year looks bleak. The CEO Donald J. Tomnitz says the outlook "sucks" when referring to the current year. 2008 shows promise but new home builders continue to give discounts and incentives to drive sales of large inventories.

Las Vegas Market Watch (2007 February Month End)
The Las Vegas real estate market remains resilient even after so much talk of a national market slowdown. Buyers continue to move to the valley and sellers are selling their homes. Prices are steady and new home builders are calm.
Las Vegas Listings
After dropping several hundred listings (view chart) in the months of November and December sellers have begun to list more homes as expected in January and February. Only in this first week of March have the listings leveled off since the first of the year.
Las Vegas Market Strength
The average days on market for homes has increased. Compared with a leveled out median home price the market appears soft. Compared to many areas of the united states, however, Las Vegas' market has not decreased below normal national levels.
Las Vegas Resale Homes Sold
January and February of this year have shown a decrease in the number of resale homes traditional with the selling season. The winter months of the year normally prove to sell fewer homes and this year even fewer homes have sold compared to recent years. However, compared to normal years previous to the boom, homes sold is at a fairly normal pace.
Las Vegas Median Prices
Homes, including single family, condos, and town houses, have remained very stable throughout the year of 2006 and remain leveled off at around $290,000-295,000 for the median home. Removing condos and townhomes shows the same trend at around $320,000.
Las Vegas Real Estate Market Watch Conclusion
Las Vegas is resilient. Great jobs, entertainment, and business keep the market strong. People continue to come to the valley to live and that trend is expected to continue for many years. Now is the time to buy. The market is not going to decrease much further if any at all so the only direction is up.

East Las Vegas Communities
East Las Vegas Communities are some of the most well established neighborhoods in the valley. The mountains on the eastern rim of the city overlook the strip and many of the residential areas. These areas boast a great deal of the cities history. Amazing spreads sit on hill sides and unique properties dot the landscape.
Some of the best views of the strip and the valley are found on the East side of town. The mountains are closer to the lights of the casinos and businesses than any others and those mountains are steeper creating a bleacher view instead of the steadily climbing theater view of the west and south. The LDS temple is perched on one of the highest streets on the east. At that level residents in the east share a spectacular Las Vegas view...more on East Las Vegas...
