Renee those are some awesome numbers. How much are the selling prices down from the last couple of years?
Who are the buyers? Are they homeowners or investors?
Cal
Renee
Those solds really look like they took off; lots of cash buyers yet?
Renee! You kill me with your blog posts! Everytime I see them I am reminded how poor mine are. I finally started using Scribefire and could kick myself because it was so easy.
Love the new pic by the way!
Renee - I have the same question as Cal "Who are the buyer's" for Las Vegas NV REO real estate?
John: It really depends on the neighborhood. I have seen some neighborhoods with 80's pricing and I have seen others that barely look touched or hurt by the decline. Overall I would say prices are about half of the height. Seeing 07 defaults now. The circle of life, eh?
Cal: I would call it 50-60% Investors, 25% First Time Buyers and the rest Move Up or Vacation/Second Home.
Tom: TONS of cash buyers!
Damon, I haven't been as good with scribefire! Thanks for stopping by!
Michelle: New financing profile put out for you guys to help you see it! I have had several first time all cash buyers along with conventional. Also some "older" buyers using FHA. Investors also use financing so I threw some numbers out just from my experiences ;)
Renee,
80's pricing in some subdivisions makes you hold your breath. And pray. Who are these guys?
