Las Vegas Condominiums

By R. Kim

Las Vega Nevada is known for its gambling, shopping, and other entertainments like shows and celebrities. Las Vegas is one of the most visited city in the United States. With the growth of the entertainment industry, Las Vegas have attracted many people to live in this metropolis.

With the recent boom in constructions of high rise luxury condos have increased the popularity of Las Vegas condominiums. Condos are very popular among those who travel many times a year to the gambling mecca to enjoy and have fun, also as a second home.

But the once sizzling Las Vegas condo market has seen a drop in prices and slowing down of new development. Like the rest of the country the downturn has hit Las Vegas condominiums even harder. Prices of some condos have declined as much as to 40 to 50 percent, which makes cash buyers be in total control.

Much of the sales that is happening in Las Vegas are foreclosures and short sales. Some of these are bargains for those who have been priced out of the market recently as few years ago. Condo-Hotels are another option that is combination of condo with hotel, but the market for these class of real estate have disappeared. It is a buyer' market.

Some condos that were priced in $1,400,000 are now on sale for less than $700,000, and those who were looking for a quick flip or investment have seen there prices decrease, holding valuable real estate. With the economy in trouble, these are good investment for those who are willing to hold and wait for recovery of real estate market.

But some developments like MGM are still having some transactions and many more are happening in foreclosure and short sale market. Once the real estate market rebounds, the prices and sales will eventually return to normal for these asset classes. Condominiums are great living space for those who want value and convenience of caring for the unit by the condo association.
