  • Taking the Leap from RENTER to Las Vegas Homeowner


    Taking the Leap from RENTER to Las Vegas Homeowner - http://www.BallenGroupHomes.com/search | 702.604.7739


    Each day, any number of renters see the perfect Las Vegas house for sale, yet fail to go ahead and investigate further. Making the move from renter to Las Vegas homeowner is, after all, one of life’s major decisions — so no matter how perfect such a find might be, making the leap can seem daunting.  


    According to the Rental Protection Agency, by May of 2013 there were more than 107,000,000 renters in the US — a number that increases by 2,600 a day. In other words, if you are a little unsure about snapping up even the most perfect Las Vegas house for sale, you are hardly alone. Still, there is that nagging suspicion that homeownership brings substantial financial advantages to some people…


    Fortunately, there are concrete indicators that when a Las Vegas house for sale looks like a good fit for your family, it will be a good fit for your financial future, too. As a rule, if you qualify for a mortgage, you stand to benefit from homeownership, too. 


    One of the main reasons people don’t take advantage of an otherwise ideal house for sale has to do with their credit history. Qualifying takes a credit rating that pencils out to merit a mortgage with beneficial terms. 


    If you have savings that are substantial enough to serve as a down payment (generally somewhere between the FHA’s 3.5% to as much as 20%), you have an important leg up. 

    Importantly, in the big picture, you need to gauge your overall financial stability. No one can see 100% into the future, but even if a Las Vegas house for sale is a great value and ideal for you, unless in your income has been steady for at least two years, you probably should wait (and most lenders would agree).


    With good credit, savings for a down payment, and a steady income, you are likely to belong to the group which sees substantial long term benefits from homeownership. If you find a Las Vegas house for sale that seems well suited to your needs, here’s an undaunting first step: call me today to help get you pre-qualified!

  • How To Set the Stage for Selling Your Summerlin, Las Vegas House

    How To Set the Stage for Selling Your Summerlin, Las Vegas House 702.482.7739 http://www.WhatsMyHomeinLasVegasWorth.com


    The Real Estate Staging Association is always telling the world that when you are selling your  (Summerlin, Las Vegas) home, you can expect to spend 73% less time on the (Nevada Real Estate) market if you use the services of a professional staging company. Although this is an outcome everyone aims for, the cost of full bore professional staging can be a budget-cruncher.


    A compromise solution is to combine a little personal elbow grease with some of the ‘inside’ tricks stagers use. When selling your house in Summerlin, Las Vegas as quickly as possible is the goal, it’s worth following through with these staging pointers:

    Magic Act

    Everyday living creates clutter — but to establish the look of a well maintained, move-in-ready home, the debris has to disappear. You don’t need to be David Copperfield or Houdini, but you will need a dedicated place to store all that stuff out of sight. No place on the property? Go ahead and rent some temporary storage space in Las Vegas.

    Bland is Better

    The Swiss are known for remaining neutral despite centuries of European strife. When it comes to selling your Summerlin, Las Vegas home, avoiding controversy can serve you just as well. ‘Neutral’ means sticking to inoffensive color schemes. Stagers know that when it comes to matters of taste, extreme decorating styles tend to drive off some potential buyers. When it comes to selling your home in Summerlin, Las Vegas, creams and beiges create the kind of clean look that’s more universally appealing. 


    Consistency Wins

    When the budget is tight, setting a theme throughout your home may seem beyond reach. So instead of replacing a lot of furniture, see if making subtle changes in home accessories and textiles can’t accomplish wonders. Selling your home in Summerlin, Las Vegas quickly can hinge on such small touches as placing bunches of uniformly colored flowers with matching throws in several rooms. It can create the kind of uniform look that stagers strive to achieve. 


    If this Year will find you selling your Summerlin, Las Vegas home, don’t neglect your own version of staging. If you are just deciding on your choice for your selling team, give The Ballen Group Summerlin Home Specialists in Las Vegas a call at 702.482.7739: we can start with an in-home consultation!

    Luxury Listings Make for Puppy Love or The Real Thing
    Las Vegas Luxury Home Listings Can Do Too Good a Job!

    Luxury Homes for SAle in Las Vegas

    Ah, spring is truly in the air…the traditional time when people can fall in love at first sight! 


    I’ll try not to dampen those springtime spirits too much, but for anyone currently looking into the Las Vegas luxury home listings, some advice may be in order: 


    Online love at first sight is a really bad idea.


    Those Las Vegas luxury home listings can indeed be truly alluring, and using your computer (or iPad, or smartphone) to winnow through the current crop of terrific Las Vegas luxury home listings is a supremely practical approach. 


    But do remember that any warm glow you experience after checking out a particularly fetching online tour is best held in check until after you have paid an in-person visit. Then the love affair is more likely to be the real thing.


    Especially when it comes to the luxury home listings in Las Vegas and Summerlin, they have been created by talented professional stagers and photographers (not to mention musicians, when a video is part of the presentation). We work with them to create an immersive online experience, which is all to the good.


    The only drawback comes if we do such a good job that Las Vegas luxury home prospects fall head over heels.  If reality can’t possibly match the romance of their mind’s eye abstraction, well…just ask a teenager’s parents about what the falling out of love experience is like! Until you have contacted me and we’ve made a real life, in-the-flesh house tour, what we are dealing with is — let’s face it — puppy love.



    Seasoned buyers know that stunning photos can’t begin to reveal all the details that make for ‘the real thing.’ Does the kitchen fit a family’s cooking style? Is that gorgeous landscaping a good setting for kids and pets? Is the neighborhood right for a particular family?


    If your own home belongs among our eye-catching Las vegas luxury home listings, you probably also know that prospective buyers will be genuinely impressed when they visit in person. If that’s the case, we hope you’ll be contacting us here at The Ballen Group Las Vegas Luxury Homes soon for a complimentary consultation to see what your Luxury Home is worth in Las Vegas today.

  • Summerlin, Las Vegas Recovery’s New Obstacle: Not Enough Homes for Sale

    Summerlin, Las Vegas Recovery’s New Obstacle: Not Enough Homes for Sale
    http://www.SummerlinForSale.com | The Ballen Group of Keller Williams Realty Las Vegas


    Supply of Summerlin, Las VegaHomes for Sale Struggles to Keep Pace 

    As Summerlin, Las Vegas Sellers Beginning to Think ‘Sellers’ Market’… 


    So the Nevada Real Estate market’s recovering, interest rates are low, and you think you’re finally ready to buy a home in Las Vegas? Not so fast. Buyers across the country are running into a new roadblock: there don’t seem to be enough homes for sale.


    Anyone who has looked at entry- to mid-level homes for sale in Summerlin, Las Vegas probably knows what I mean. Mortgage rates remain near historic lows, and as the prices of homes for sale continue to rise, fears that we could soon see a repetition of a real estate equity loss seem increasingly unlikely.  


    Why the lack of inventory of homes in Las Vegas? There are several reasons. Buyers may be ready to buy again, but some sellers are still not in a position to offer their Summerlin, Las Vegas homes for sale. When the housing market collapsed seven years ago, some homeowners’ equity loss was such that they remain unable to sell. Las Vegas Real Estate Prices may be on the rise, but some need more time to return to pre-crash values.


    Buyers always want to buy at the bottom, but sellers want to avoid selling there. Buyers are watching that bottom fade into the distance, but some sellers, pleased to watch their homes growing in value, are content to wait longer. 


    NAR says that there were just 1.93 million existing homes for sale on the national market in March, down nearly 17% from the prior year. In a well-balanced market, what had been a six month’s supply fell to just 4.7 months’ worth.  Nationally, homes for sale now stay on the market for just 62 days, down from a median of 91 days only last year. Glenn Kelman, CEO of an online national real estate brokerage, put it succinctly: "Somebody rang a bell and said the boom is back, and nobody wants to be late to the party."


    Summerlin, and Las Vegas Homeowners who have been thinking about selling their home in Nevada are increasingly liking what they see in today’s market — including the prospects for trading up. Even those whose previous evaluations were unsatisfactory are finding it worth another look. If you would like to find out what your Summerlin or Las Vegas home is worth today, give The Ballen Group a call at 702.482.7739!

  • Las Vegas “Boomerang Buyers” Enter the Picture

    Las Vegas Real Estate | Buying a Home in after Las Vegas Foreclosure | http://www.BallenGroupHomes.com


    Las Vegas “Boomerang Buyers” Enter the Picture

    Some Las Vegas“Boomerang Buyers” Have Run the Clock

    Options for Buying a Home in Las Vegas After a Foreclosure Open Up 


    Skip the Article and look for Las Vegas Real Estate For Sale Now


    “Time flies when you’re having a good time” we hear. But time can also pass quickly for those who’ve had to go through difficult times. Case in point is a million and a half borrowers who have recently experienced the pain of a foreclosure, including those who have experienced Nevada foreclosure. That’s the estimated number of those who, by this time next year, will have waited long enough to again become eligible for an FHA loan.


     Anyone interested in buying a Las Vegas home after a foreclosure in Nevada has come through a tough period. The standard waiting period for an FHA-guaranteed loan is 3-4 years following a foreclosure or Las Vegas short sale (though individual circumstances vary). Now that the weeks and months have ticked by, this sizable crop of newly eligible prospective ‘boomerang buyers’ may soon find themselves contemplating the option of buying a Las Vegas home after a foreclosure.


    That estimate of the size of the newly eligible was provided by Moody’s Analytics. Since they are key players in determining creditworthiness, it’s a source I trust. A chart of Moody’s count from the second quarter in 2011 (when their number was a mere 285,000) to next year’s second quarter 1,500,000 provides a convincingly uphill slope.


     Still, being eligible to apply does not mean automatically qualifying for an FHA (or any other) loan. Success in buying a Las Vegas home after a foreclosure continues to depend on the same standards that always apply. After the waiting game is over, having cured credit damage will become the prime requirement. 


    To increase their chances of successfully buying a home after a foreclosure, Las Vegas prospects will have paid existing credit card and loan debts with the kind of unfailing regularity that reassures loan officers and credit analysts alike. If that hasn’t been the case, the time to begin is ASAP.


    Website Zillow predicts the next most influential group of buyers will be those who are looking to buy a home after a foreclosure or short sale. Las Vegas residents who are among them — and who are ready to make this their turnaround season — should give The Ballen Group of Keller Williams Realty Las Vegas a call. We can get started with the pre-approval process!


     Our Mission:

     

    To constantly go above and beyond or client's expectations providing the Wow Factor in everything we do while    continuously growing a fun, top producing Real Estate company. 

     Our Vision:
     To be a company that everyone wants to part of and if not, feels like they are missing out.

     Our Values:
     Purpose, Passion, Perseverance

    Our Culture: Work HARD, Play HARDER. It's a win for everyone, or it doesn't happen.
