Las Vegas Area Sold Terms - Cash, Conventional, FHA, VA, OTHER!
Cash REMAINS KING in the Las Vegas Area Real Estate Market!!! It is important for every buyer in the Las Vegas Area Real Estate Market to understand who their buyer competition is in this currently competitive seller's market LV is enjoying! It is important to understand how a seller looks at each financing type:
Cash Offers: Generally have less contingencies and quicker close times. A cash offer may be accepted even if it is lower than a financed offer.
Conventional Financing: Less strict with lender required repairs but larger down payments and more strict credit guidelines.
FHA/VA Financing: Requires more scrutiny with lender required repairs via appraisal. In general these take longer to underwrite and close so a cash or conventional offer looks more enticing to the seller. Requires the deed to be seasoned for several months so some flips bought at trustee's sales are generally out as options when competing with multiple offers!
Other: Less common and creative financing types such as Lease Options, OWC (Owner Will Carry), etc. The "other" category INCLUDES auction terms!!
PS TOOK A SNEAK PEEK into August's numbers yesterday (official reporting not done until approx Monday the 7th) and large CASH CLOSE PERCENTAGE INCREASE EXPECTED!
Hi Renee. I see you like charts as much as I and are good at preparing them. The spike chart is interesting, I haven't seen that option in Excel and must go look.
Love your charts and yes, cash is king, more now than ever. You are the first (as usual :) to do a chart on the type of transaction, that I have seen. Smart girl!
Richard: Ist in there you just need to experiment ;)
Virginia: Thanks, I am already being imitated ;)
