Lone Mountain real estate is located in northwest Las Vegas. Much of the area is still under development. Until the last couple of decades developments were sparse in this part of town. In fact, many of the roads and streets are still narrow because no major infrastructure has been put in place. Las Vegas has only recently absorbed this rural end of the valley.
The Lone Mountain area is named by an independent peak standing in the middle of several communities. People will hike it for a quick day adventure. It provides some great views along with some of the other mountains in the area. Some of the homes are elevated and are able to look out over the city.

SalesTraq's Larry Murphy Speaks on Las Vegas Market

The overall message: The real estate market hasn't bust - it is in a healthy, normal real estate cycle. The cycle will help buyers and we likely won't be seeing a meltdown.

It's true that sales are down, but that happens. The good news is that prices haven't plummeted as many suggested. They have remained steady, flat. The Las Vegas market is resilient. There are many positive factors driving the city's economy and residents are able to take advantage of homes that have kept their value.

Inspite of a flat market and a large, growing inventory Murphy's outlook is positive, '"...we may be at or near the bottom," he said. "Even with the repos, we have month-over-month sales gains, the highest number of new home permits since August and prices are still relatively stable."'

He reported that some 13% of nearly 3,200 home closings in March were bank repossession sales. Though alarming, it's not completely unexpected.

'"It's good for buyers," he said. "It's going to improve affordability a little bit. This is a good cycle."'

It isn't exactly intuitive how it is to be used but I think the idea is that you set up a lens focused on some topic and then maintain the resources on it. I set up multiple lenses to experiment with the SEO from each. Each lens has a specific focus and has information and resources linking to articles I have already written:

Lebron James Builds His Castle

Lebron James, one of the NBA's newer phenoms, has set a goal to become the first athlete billionaire. As an amazing asset for his portfolio James has decided to build a mansion...er...castle. Hail King James!

Yahoo reported:

"AKRON, Ohio -- LeBron James' 35,440-square-foot house under construction in nearby Bath Township is shaping up as a castle fit for a king -- with a theater, bowling alley, casino and barber shop.

"The house in a suburban location 20 miles south of Cleveland is due to be finished next year. It is being built on 5.6 acres of land purchased, along with an 11-bedroom house, in 2003 for $2.1 million."

Though the price of the house is a relatively small amount when compared to some other markets, 35,000+ square feet is baffling!

I recently posted a blog about a trend to downsize...not when you are an NBA superstar.
