FREE Down Payment!

Who doesn't want to purchase a home with no down payment?  Well it can happen here in Las Vegas. No it isn't a special program for revitalization areas or part of the city nobody wants to live in. 

This grant program will provide the home buyer with 4% of the purchase price to be used towards a down payment or closing costs.  This is a "rural" neighborhood grant, but many populated areas qualify including parts of Summerlin, Anthem, Inspirada, Mountains Edge, Silverado Ranch and Southern Highlands plus some older existing areas in Winchester. 

This program does not have income qualifications, anyone that qualifies for a VA or FHA mortgage can get this program if you are purchasing in the allowed zip code.  Yes, this is even good for brand new homes from the builder. So again, who doesn't want a free down payment? Contact Mike Kruse with VIP Realty Group for more information on your FREE Down Payment.

Buy or Sell Las Vegas Real Estate and Support A Great Cause

Here is a great opportunity to buy a new home or sell your existing home and support a great cause all at the same time.  Now through December 31, 2014 for every contract written and closed by February 13, 2015, I will donate $200 to Habitat for Humanity.  Habitat for Humanity is a national organization that helps hard working people with little income own a home.  In order to receive a home from Habitat for Humanity, the family must put in sweat equity into building the home along with other volunteers. 

I have a goal of donating $5,000.00 by February 13, 2015 and am excited to help such a great organization.  The money I donate will be to the local Las Vegas chapter of Habitat for Humanity so the money will stay local and help people within the Las Vegas community.  If you are looking to buy or sell Las Vegas real estate and support a great cause, start at my website www.lvhomesbymike.com.  Please share with your friends and family tthat also may be interested in buying or selling, I will not stop at $5,000 if there is still time left.

Thinking of Selling?

As a homeowner, this is the question you always have to ask yourself.  Is now the time to sell?  There is always a reason to sell now and there are always reasons to wait.  This is a decision you need to make and nobody can make for you.  From a financial perspective, now is a great time to sell unless you purchased your home in 2006 or 2007.  Here in the Las Vegas valley, prices held steady in the last couple months of 2013 and January 2014 but that is all in the past.  February and march have seen modest increases in home prices and the local real estate market is in a bit of a frenzy.  Multiple offers on homes on the market less than a couple days is being seen.  Homes priced too high are sitting a longer but are still getting views and depending on the seller's motivation they will lower the price and sell quick or simply wait and see if the market catches up to their price.  Thinking of selling your home is your choice.  If you are thinking of selling and live in the Las Vegas valley, click the Thinking of selling link and I will provide you a Home Value Report at no cost.  Mike Kruse is a Realtor in the Las Vegas and Henderson, NV areas with over 10 years experience.

Multiple Offer are back in Las Vegas Real Estate

Multiple offers have made a return in Las Vegas real estate.  Over the past 3 weeks I have had 4 clients making offers on property and all four have experienced multiple offers.  While it seems to be limited to homes that are in exceptional condition, priced appropriately and homes in desirable locations.  In 3 of the 4 situations my clients did get their offer accepted however there were no concessions on the sellers behalf and my clients were willing to pay over list price in a couple of the situations. 

If you are thinking of selling, now is a great time.  With multiple offers happening, prices are sure to begin to rise again.  I can provide you the real value of your home at no cost to you.
