SalesTraq Sees Improvement in Las Vegas Housing Market

賭城拉斯維加斯的房地產已低迷四、五年，終於在今年的第二季度開始穩步上揚而且勢頭強勁，每天釋放出來的房源有的當天就有很多個報價（offer)，所以好的房源都沒時間讓你考慮就被別人買走。現在正因為房源短缺而使房價攀升，正因為房價攀升所以更吸引投資客不斷入場，精明的投資客都跟漲不跟跌，因為下跌時的市場沒人能知何時是谷底，何時能擺脫低迷。因此很多投資客跟漲在短短的幾個月或一年就已賺到30%甚至更多。
好的地產經紀可幫您減少購房時的風險，助您一臂之力。
現在每天放出的房源以短價房為主（shortsale)，與幾年前的法拍屋為主有所不同，因為最近房價上揚所以也有一些正常 (traditional)的房源出售（包括投資客拋售套現）。正因為銀行釋放的法拍屋很少，所以導致房價的上升，如果下半年銀行仍然如此，那房價還會小幅上揚，如果大量釋放就又回到一年前的市場。

LAS VEGAS -- Real estate research service SalesTraq issued an upbeat report Tuesday on the Las Vegas housing market, pointing to three consecutive months during which sale prices for existing homes exceeded those from the same months in 2011.

SalesTraq, owned by Las Vegas economic analysis firm Applied Analysis, reported that the median closing prices on existing homes reached $116,300 in June, 10.4 percent higher than in June 2011. April and May also posted higher closing prices than the same months a year ago.

Prior to April the last time existing homes sold for more than they did the prior year was back in June 2010.
"By the mid-point of 2012, a shift in the Las Vegas housing market is underway," SalesTraq reported. "With fewer new foreclosures working their way into the supply chain, short sales and non-distressed sales categories continue to account for the dominant share of resale activity. Impacts on pricing are expected to escalate."
While existing home prices are going up, the volume of available homes continues to drop. There were 3,852 existing home closings in June, 32.4 percent fewer than the same month a year ago. Closings were also down in April and May compared to the same months in 2011.
Meantime, an increasing number of permits to build new homes are being issued to meet consumer demand. The median closing price of a new home in June was $196,500, down 2.4 percent from June 2011. But the average price of $103.32 per square foot for a new home in June was at its highest point since November 2010.
"We believe there is room for further price increases during the next six months," SalesTraq reported. "The residential sector continues to have real challenges, including nation-leading rates of delinquency. That said, improvements in sales volumes, prices and general consumer sentiment bode well for the sector."
