Homes and Google Maps

Thursday, November 24th, 2005

Even before Google gave its blessing, Paul Rademacher was hacking away at
the code behind its mapping application so he could mix it with outside real
estate data and see exactly where homes listed for sale were located in the San
Francisco area.

I believe that having homes shown on map and let buyers browse is a great idea. We are currently working on our own solution for Las Vegas Homes search on the map. We will announce it soon!

Timeshare Spammer’ Gets A Year In Prison

Thursday, November 24th, 2005

Peter Moshu was found guilty of sending millions of unsolicited e-mails that
sought personal information by offering brokerage services for people interested
in selling their timeshared vacation homes.

I think it is great news. I think everybody is tired from spam and other aggressive marketing techniques. Real estate industry is using too much aggressive marketing. A lot of people still believe that spamming, door knocking, cold colling is the way how to get business. It is strange but many big franchises are still teaching them to their agents. I can say that from my own experience in Century 21, which happened in 2001-2002. It seems that these people don’t even understand that such things don’t work and just get everybody mad.

Recommendations for Affordable Housing

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005

In August 2005, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas LIED Institute hosted their 8th Annual Real Estate Roundtable. The discussions center on finding solutions to increasing the supply of housing, lowering the cost of housing, and creating programs for new housing. The focus resulted from the knowledge that in the past 10 years, the population of Clark County has increased by 77% leading to a shortage of approximately 40,000 units short of affordable housing.

Here are a few of the resulting Roundtable recommendations:

• Explore community land trusts as a tool that can be developed to expand affordable and attainable housing in Las Vegas.

• Evaluate and possibly modify current zoning regulations and design standards that inhibit reducing housing costs and constrain innovative design and development.

• Expand the amount and sources of funding to support the development of affordable and attainable housing.

• Ensure appropriate research has been conducted on local needs and resources and what has worked and not worked in other communities.

• Engage BLM at both the local and federal levels to release land so as to thoughtfully develop and expand affordable and attainable housing options for the community.

Is the Price Right?

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005

Has your house been on the market for a few months while the two down the block sold within a few weeks of being listed? Your home is comparable in age, size and style, so what’s the issue? Maybe the problem is as simple as the price.

A properly priced home can bring you a larger profit when it sells. If your home is properly priced, it can often command the full asking price. And, in an active market such as Las Vegas, chances are you’ll get full list price. It is estimated that the average home in Las Vegas, if properly priced, can expect to sell within .5% of its listed price.

Realtors will typically pull homes for their client to see based on what looks like a good value. Most of which are found searching through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Comparable houses that are priced within their expected market range are going to be seen. Homes priced out of the ballpark, run the risk of alienating potential buyers who won’t even take the time to look. So, in short, if you price your home correctly, it will sell in a reasonable timeframe.

Whittling Down Your Closing Costs

Monday, November 21st, 2005

Lenders, brokers and third-party mortgage originators charge all sorts of fees to borrowers. Many of these charges get lumped together under the heading closing costs, and can, on average, amount to 2 to 3 percent of a total home purchase price. This comes as an unexpected shock to many home buyers.

However, there are a few ways you can potentially save some money:

(1) Negotiate with the seller to pay all or part of the closing costs. Both the lender AND the seller must agree to this proposal.
(2) Secure a no-points loan. This does translate into a higher interest rate on the loan and the possibility of prepayment penalties, but for buyers who are short on cash, and can qualify, a no-points loan may significantly cut their closing costs.
(3) Obtain a no-fee loan. Typically these fees are also wrapped into a higher interest rate, but it will save you on upfront cash needed.
(4) Get seller financing. This type of arrangement usually does not involve traditional loan fees or charges.
(5) Shop around for the best loan deal. Each direct lender and each mortgage brokerage have their own fee structure. Investigate thoroughly before signing on the bottom line.
