Mesquite, NV Real Estate News

The home loan mess is a tough customer to bring under control. Everyone agrees with that. The government and the private sector have tried all sorts of cures to change its course, with very little so far to show for their labors. Mortgage foreclosures are going to continue by some reliable estimates at least at the current pace well into the new year. There is, however, a new creative initiative afoot to help restore the tattered mortgage market to health. Behind the effort is a man called Lewie Ranieri, who is largely credited with crafting the mortgage-backed securities in the 1980s.These instruments turned out to be a great catalyst to increase home ownership by funneling money from investors to mortgage firms for making loans to buyers. Today's immense problems are unrelated to the ...

Hello again everyone.  The Mesquite Real Estate Association of which I am vice President of, met Tuesday with Bryan Dangerfield the Director of Economic Development for the City of Mesquite and Josh Olmsted one of the owners for the Desert Falls International Sports Resort.  As I have told you in previous blogs, Desert Falls is really a huge complex and quite a large undertaking.  Mr. Olmsted, who I believe is very serious about getting this project completed, went into to great detail on what the resort was going to be like.  There has been a lot of skepticism as to whether or not the DFISR would ever be started let alone completed.  However, according to Olmsted they intend to break ground just after the first of the year and the goal is to be playing on the new softball fields in 201...

Once again I find that we are getting a lot of questions about short sales.  Most of these questions seem to be about time issues i. e. How long does it take to get an answer from the sellers bank?  How long until the deal will be finally done? etc.. The truth lies somewhere between, "I have no idea," and "possibly before the next millennium."  Some agents including myself have teamed up with different "Short Sale Processors"  who seem to have better luck in getting the deal closed.  Not necessarily faster, just in getting them approved.   The main reason for this is their efficiency with the paperwork.  Clients don't usually know this but the banks all require certain forms in an order that they want the file in.   The problem is that all banks have different forms from each other and ...

Mesquite Nevada Real Estate Market Still on Life Support If the Mesquite, Nevada real estate market were a patient in the hospital, it is still in ICU. The market remains on life support, plagued by high vacancy, defaults, foreclosures, existing, and new home supply. Builders continue to put downward price pressure on existing home sales with lower pricing and incentives. Then there is the shadow inventory. The picture is clouded by the bank owned REO properties as the banks fumble with unrealized losses, those toxic assets. Clearing of this segment of the market will be a pivotal point, but it remains unclear as to how many are out there and at what price will they be liquidated. As the banks push these properties into the market prices continue to fall. The main support in the market ...

This is an update to two previous blogs that I posted about the Desert Falls International Sports Resort here in Mesquite, Nevada.  It has been confirmed by the Mesquite Economic Development Director Bryan Dangerfield that the Desert Falls International Sports Resort, LLC has indeed delivered the 5% down payment to the City of Mesquite by August 26th as they were required to do per the agreement between the city and the Desert Falls organization.  The down payment of approximately $316,000.00 to purchase the 864 acres of land was actually delivered a day early to the city.   Ground breaking will probably not start until the somewhere around the new year, however, it is still unclear whether or not construction can start until the land is completely paid for or not.  If so, the Desert Fa...
