  Remember that? It’s supposed to be the primary focus of VeryVintageVegas. I haven’t forgotten it. But looking back recently, VVV has gotten overwhelmed with “cultural stuff”.   Most days, I’m so overwhelmed wit...

  Posted on Wednesday October 21st, 2009 at 11:34 in market conditions

  I can tell you from experience, and have said it many times before…… It’s not easy to buy a home now-a-days. The headlines may say the opposite, but the evil banks who control the inventory are making it difficult w...

  Posted on Thursday August 20th, 2009 at 10:41 in market conditions

  I’ve been seeing this for several months now….at least in Vintage Vegas. Now there’s city wide statistical evidence, for at least a one month increase of 900 dollars. YEA! It’s only one month but IT IS THE FIRST...

• In The Meanwhile….

  Posted on Monday July 13th, 2009 at 10:57 in market conditions

  I wish it had been a nice long extended vacation that’s kept me so occupied that I failed to post regularly over the last 10 days. There’s still a fortune to be made by whoever invents 30 hour days. I did however manage to keep a dozen e...

• UncleJack….You’ve got some ’spainin’ to do

  Posted on Sunday June 14th, 2009 at 15:58 in market conditions

  One measure of my success in “preserving and protecting the Historic Neighborhoods” is the volume of my to-do list and the number of buyers that I’m working with. Providing you with 2 or 3 posts a day was always my goal and it’...

• Support H.R. 600 and Downpayment Assistance Reform!

  Posted on Friday May 15th, 2009 at 12:37 in market conditions

  Down Payment Assistance has been around for a long time. It didn’t (in my opinion) cause or contribute to the bubble. Zero down and no qualifying easy money loans caused the bubble. Down payment assistance helped a lot of Las Vegas residents be...
