Since January 1st the Las Vegas High Rise Condo market has had 20 re-sale transactions. Half of those sales were in developments that are strictly residential and the other half were from Condo Hotel developments like MGM's Signature Towers. The new year has brought many challenges for our city to over come. Foreclosures have swept the valley leaving no community untouched. As previously reported there has been an increase in Bank Repossessions in our High Rise Condo market which in turn has made prices drop significantly making it an awesome time to purchase. Out of the ten strictly residential High Rise Condo re-sales 7 were bank owned properties which had an average Days On Market of 90 days. The 10 Condo Hotel re-sales that were recored had 7 Bank Repossessions as well with an average Days On Market of 51 days.
These numbers may not seem like the best in the world considering the amount of inventory that is currently for sale on the High Rise Condo re-sale market. One thing that I can say I see happening in the near future is that a wave of Bank Owned High Rise Condos will hit the market with prices that will be close to the prices that we are seeing REO High Rise Condos listed & selling at currently. Some may say that prices will continue to drop even lower in the next couple of months but I feel that we should see a huge increase in interest in our High Rise Condo market which will bring back the demand for these types of properties meaning that prices will start to rise. I can not speculate on a specific time frame of when the demand and prices will start to rise but from my professional view point I can say that interest is rising while more and more REO High Rise Condos come on the market with prices that can't be ignored.
The down side to buying a REO High Rise Condo here in Las Vegas is that you run the risk of not having the best view. Yes Bank Owned High Rise Condos are allot more affordable than traditional High Rise Condo re-sale unites but if you want a certain view or specific unite style you may come up short with a Bank Owned High Rise Condo due to that fact that the REO High Rise inventory is substantially less than traditional re-sale High Rise Condos. Unlike the single family housing sector here in Las Vegas Bank Owned High Rise Condos do not surpass the traditional sales on the re-sale market. Thats the latest Las Vegas High Rise Condo news for you so learn and enjoy.
