Where are the homes?

May 28, 2013 by hblankfeld Leave a Comment

WHERE ARE THE HOMES? The inventory of available homes here in Southern Nevada has been hovering around 4,000 for many months now.  Buyers are wondering where all the homes are so they can buy again.  The theory is that the "banks" are sitting on a lot of homes and they are going to release them soon.  My colleagues and I don't believe the banks will release a lot of Vegas houses here.  We don't Continue Reading

How long can I stay in my home?

May 2, 2012 by hblankfeld Leave a Comment

HOW LONG CAN I STAY IN MY HOME? I'm often asked this question when listing a client's home as a short sale.  With all of the changes taking place in the short sale market, it's difficult to have a set answer.  The answer these days is less time than it was even a a few months ago. The bank that holds the mortgage wants the seller to stay in the home right up until close of escrow.  Once we list a Continue Reading

Are appraisers helping investors?

April 19, 2012 by hblankfeld Leave a Comment

ARE APPRAISERS HELPING INVESTORS? I know that I tend to beat up appraisers so let me preface this post by saying that I know some very fine and professional appraisers that don't deserve my comments. That being said, I need to relay a story that happens all too often.  An FHA buyer submitted and had accepted an offer on a beautiful one story home in Summerlin.   His offer was equal to the last Continue Reading

Will The New Legislation Put A Freeze on Foreclosures?

December 8, 2011 by hblankfeld Leave a Comment

WILL THE NEW LEGISLATION PUT A FREEZE ON FORECLOSURES? We have all heard the doom and gloom being espoused about AB284.  The legislation in general terms increases the responsibilities of the foreclosing entities.  It asks them to provide a sworn affidavit and other elements with the intention of preventing incorrect and illegal foreclosures.  The banks pushed back hard against this bill, but to Continue Reading

What Should I Do With A Low Offer On My Short Sale Listing?

November 21, 2011 by hblankfeld Leave a Comment

WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH A LOW OFFER ON MY SHORT SALE LISTING? Short sales are unique in a lot of ways. One way they aren't unique here in Las Vegas is that the bank holding the lien will want fair market value for the home. The lien holder will recognize that they need to offer some discount for the inconvenience, but that discount is usually in the form of buyer closing costs or a couple of Continue Reading

What About This Market?

November 14, 2011 by hblankfeld Leave a Comment

WHAT ABOUT THIS MARKET? I truly enjoy my work. I enjoy getting my sellers the highest possible check at close of escrow and I enjoy finding my buyers a great home and getting them a great deal. I also enjoy talking about my work. Whenever anyone finds out that I'm a Realtor, they invariably have questions for me.  They usually are curious about the real estate market in general and will ask Continue Reading

Full Circle

March 10, 2011 by hblankfeld Leave a Comment

FULL CIRCLE It was only 16 years ago that I relocated to the Las Vegas area. I feel like a native resident that has experienced a lifetime of changes to their once quaint town. The fluctuations in the real estate market have gone full circle. In 1995 we saw nominal appreciation with reasonable value to entice the newcomer. Just a few years forward in time the frenzy had started with values soaring Continue Reading

The “Short Sale & “Foreclosure” Bubble

November 9, 2010 by hblankfeld Leave a Comment

THE "SHORT SALE & FORECLOSURE" BUBBLE I’m writing to let everyone know it might be the right time to let the bubble burst.  Open your search for the “American Dream” and consider a new home.  Most builders struggle in the end of the year to “make the numbers.” This means getting rid of their inventory homes and getting them off the books.  Quite a bit of builders will be giving some great Continue Reading
