Las Vegas, North Las Vegas & Henderson Home Values and Price Appreciation Map, Year over Year

Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas have seen its share of ups and downs as it relates to real estate over the years. Previously ranked as one of the hardest hit foreclosure markets in the country, there were plenty of Las Vegas and Henderson home owns who found themselves underwater. We have since seen an upswing in the market since those gloomy days and Las Vegas now ranks much differently on that same scale. With just 10-11% of homes on the market listed as short sales or foreclosures, we are seeing that most homes currently for sale in Las Vegas are considered equity sales. That is great news for the average home owner and for owners looking to sell their Las Vegas area homes. There is still more good news! Vegas is in what we call a seller’s market (A seller’s market is when there is less than a 6 month supply of available homes for sale on the market.) Vegas currently sits at about a 4.5-5 month supply of inventory.

What does this mean for the home buyer? It means negotiations still often favor on the side of sellers, with some competition between buyers and well priced homes don’t stay on the available market for long. Buyers need to be able to make an offer quickly when they find something they like because it may not be available if they wait. Just short of a month or so of inventory to be considered a balanced market, it’s a great time to purchase a home as interest rates remain low, and are only anticipated to increase slightly in 2015, and with the FHA recently lowering the mortgage insurance premium, it makes it easier for buyers to qualify for a higher purchase price or keep their payments low. Las Vegas has various low to zero down mortgage and closing cost programs and grants available for qualified home buyers, some with what are considered “easy qualifying guidelines” it’s a great time to buy a home.

Above is a map of the greater Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Henderson area showing home appreciation and depreciation rates as it compares year over year 2013 to 2014 for the month of December. You will notice areas of town vary from zip code to zip code and appreciation/ depreciation range from 0-40%

Free Down Payment & Closing Costs For Your Home Purchase

The Dominguez-Martin Group is “Helping Nevadans Feel at Home” with Free Money!

Looking to purchase a home in Las Vegas? Would 4% free money help? Melissa and David know how to get you qualified under the “Home is Possible” grant program that helps make the dream of home ownership a reality for qualified Nevadans. This could be you, keep reading!

The Home is Possible grant program is focused on helping home-buyers in Washoe and Clark Counties (Greater Las Vegas area) who want to purchase a primary residence. The grant provides up to 4% of a loan's value for down payment and closing costs. Down payment and closing cost coverage can really help you out without having to come out of pocket. Some grant programs have to be repaid or are only for first time home-buyers. The “Home is Possible” grant NEVER needs to be repaid and is NOT restricted to first time home-buyers. Some of the benefits of the program are a fixed interest rate, 30-year loan and no asset limits for home-buyers.

There are a few requirements of the “Home is Possible” grant program such as buyers must have a minimum credit score of 640 for government insured loans (FHA, VA), 660 for manufactured homes and 680 for most conventional loans. (A borrower must meet normal government or conventional loan underwriting requirements.) To qualify, your annual combined income must be below $95,500.00. There is a maximum purchase price of $400,000.00 and the home-buyer must complete an educational course as required by the program.

A program such as the “Home is Possible” grant program can really make the difference for buyers who may not otherwise qualify if they had to pay for these costs out of pocket. So now that I’ve got your interest peaked, you are probably wondering, how do I get this program setup for my home purchase? Contact the Dominguez-Martin Group, they will guide you through the entire process and connect you with a qualified lender, and complete the necessary home-buyer paperwork. From there it is just a matter of finding the home that fits your needs and writing a competitive offer that gets accepted. The Dominguez-Martin Group consistently ranks among the Top 5 Producing real estate teams at Keller Williams Realty Las Vegas. Give them a call today, they would love to meet you for coffee or meet for sushi and explain the home-buying process to you and consult with you to find the best program and home that fits your specific needs in the greater Las Vegas area.

Buying a home is one of the biggest and most exciting financial decisions of your life! It can be very nerve wracking, but much of that anxiety is easily relieved when you know what to expect. That's why you will want to book mark this Home-Buying 101 page and watch the videos they will help you understand the home-buying process.
