Las Vegas, NV: Trump Towers

Posted at 9:54 PM, Jul. 31, 2007

  Day by day last week the letters went on the building...one letter a day.  Yes, the T-R-U-M-P is finally on the TRUMP tower.  With just a few more months before the grand opening of tower 1 (January 2008) Donald Trump's latest venture is in its final stages.

The Trump Tower will be a 64 story hotel-condominum.  It is being built across the street from Wynn Las Vegas.  It will feature both non-residential hotel condominiums and residential condominiums.  Due to the overwhelming sellers response from the first tower, a second, identical tower will be built next to the first tower.

When completed, it will be Las Vegas' tallest residential building at 620 feet.

                                                                                                     
                                                                                     

Las Vegas Nevada Weather

Posted at 8:33 PM, Jul. 9, 2007

The time was 5:30 P.M. Sunday evening...the temperature in Las Vegas as you can see from the sign was a sizzling 116°.  According to "The Weather Channel" thing on my website the current temperature is 104° and it's 8:30 P.M....ya gotta LOVE it!  It's DRY heat...enough to shrivel one's bones! 

Although it's warm in Las Vegas for a few short months out of the year, you can't beat the rest of the year!  Cool nights, sunny days are the norm 8-9 full months a year.  It is not uncommon to see many a tourist in our 'winter months' wearing shorts and tank tops and right behind them seeing a 'local' bundled up as if they were in snow country!   

Frankly, I would rather deal with the warm weather in Las Vegas during the summers than to deal with shoveling snow in the east in the winter!

This picture was taken at the corner of Desert Inn and Boulder Highway, in east Las Vegas, on 7/8/07.

Las Vegas Market Stats

Posted at 10:52 AM, Jul. 2, 2007

Las Vegas just keeps on growing!  The statistics, as mentioned in the Las Vegas Review Journal and on the 3 major TV stations local news, say that 6,000 people are moving to Las Vegas and Clark County NV every month.  We grow and grow and grow.  Yet Clark County is at the top when it comes to foreclosures.  Unofficial word is (from local news) that there are between 9,000 and 10,000 homes in Clark County currently in some stage of the foreclosure process (I am assuming they mean short sales, foreclosures, bank owned properties). 

 

Although sales have slowed down some there is MUCH to choose from if you're interesting in purchasing.  In doing the stats from the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors MLS (Multiple Listing Service) there are currently over 26,000 residential properties for sale (as of 7/2/07).  These stats do not include For Sale By Owners or New Home Developmments.

The 'sold' shown below are closing since the first of January 2007.    

Property Type	Active Listings	Pending/Contingent	Sold
Single Family	20,898	2,318	9,186
TownHouses	4,038	336	875
Condominiums	1,615	184	1,162

Yes, there are A LOT of listings, we have to give some consideration to the amount of houses that have been built over the last few years...yes we have more listings than ever before but we also have seen immense growth through out Clark County.
