Las Vegas Homes For Sale - What to Look For?

Before you start your search for Las Vegas homes for sale, it’s important to determine how much house you can afford. Before committing to any home, make sure to get prequalified for a mortgage loan so you know what you can expect to spend. Knowing when you’re over budget or running out of funds is essential in finding the best deal and a great place to live.

 
We partner with an amazing lender Amber Coleman with Guild Mortgage who can help get you pre qualified.  There is a big difference between what you can afford to buy and what you want to afford to buy.  Buyers usually get pre-approved for a lot more than they would want to pay monthly for their mortgage.
 
Amber can walk you through the process and it only takes 15 min to get prequalified.  Give her a call today to let her know The Marks sent you.

Know Your Neighborhoods and Locations.

Know Your Neighborhoods and Locations.

When looking for Las Vegas homes for sale, it is important to do your research on neighborhoods and locations you are interested in. Consider how close a home may be to schools, employers, churches and other activities or points of interest. You’ll want to weigh location versus price as well when choosing the perfect place to call home. 

Consider Size, Amenities, and Features of Each Home for Sale in Las Vegas.

Before you purchase a Las Vegas home, consider the size of the house, any features and amenities that come with it, and its condition. What kind of layout do you want? How many bedrooms and bathrooms are desired? Does the existing floor plan need remodeling? All these should be taken into consideration when selecting a Las Vegas home for sale.

Have a Detailed Inspection of the Property Done.

Doing an inspection of the property will help you make an informed decision about purchasing a home in Las Vegas. This should include a thorough assessment of the roof, plumbing, and HVAC systems to make sure that they are up to code. Furthermore, any structural and pest issues should be addressed before you finalize your purchase. An inspector also has the expertise and experience to look at many other features of the home that you might miss and advise on their condition.

When you enter into a contract you typically negotiate “X” amount of days for due diligence.  During those days is when you as a buyer are able to get all the inspections needed to feel comfortable with your purchase.  You will also at that time need to put in a request for repairs.  

The request for repairs is that only a request.  It becomes a negotiation again with the sellers.   Sellers can repair all the items, some of the items, give a credit in lieu of repairs with a closing cost credit.  Or they can do nothing at all. 

Do Your Research on Recent Comparable Sales in the Area.

Before you make an offer on a home in Las Vegas, check to see how much comparable houses have recently sold for in the area. This will ensure that you are not overpaying and also give you an idea of what features or upgrades buyers have been willing to pay more for. 
 
We can help pull comps for the homes in the neighborhood.  We like to see what’s active, pending and homes that recently sold.  We not only send you the stats but we also will send you pictures of the homes so you can compare.  Our valuations are only recommendations of homes but we partner with our clients to help arrive at a number that we all feel comfortable with writing. 
 
We will also look to see if any Sellers have recently offered buyer incentives such as closing cost.  We also like to see what type of financing has typically been used to purchase.  We would love to help you find your dream home!
