Henderson NV Residents- Great incentives are available to replace your “water thirsty” turf

I so love facebook….

I’ve known about the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s Water Smart Landscapes Rebate Program for some time now.  I’ve seen so many Las Vegas Valley homeowners take advantage of this great program by replacing their original lawns with a more water friendly alternative, and in turn, receive a nice little rebate…  Good to our Valley’s water issues, good to our pocketbooks too!

So Heidi, what’s facebook got to do with all of this? 

Well, because I follow The City of Henderson on Facebook, I stay in the “Henderson loop”…  And they updated me yesterday about a fabulous Turf Removal Loan Program that they are offering.

The program, in a nutshell,  goes like this- If you decide to remove a hefty portion of that grass that requires waaaayyyy too much water (we DO live in the desert, right?!), you just might be eligible for a nice little loan for up to $5,000 at 3% interest, amortized over a seven year period.

Yep, only 3%!  A great deal!  Take that, along with SNWA’s rebate- and you, your wallet,your new water-conscious garden will all be happy!

CLICK HERE  to watch a great video provided by the SNWA with  step-by-step tips for removing your water-thirsty grass and replacing it with a lush, beautiful water-smart landscape.

Update those boring white (or tan) ceramic backsplashes in a jiff- and on the cheap!

So you just purchased, or already live in a house, condo or apartment that has that blah-de-blah white ceramic backsplashes… You know, the one’s that were so popularly chic here in Vegas circa the 1980′s well into the late ’90′s….

Now your not-so-pleased with the starkness of it all, so what do you do to spruce them up?

Tile Tattoos

 

You could obviously opt to replace them with today’s more popular solid surfaces (ie: granite, quartz, or even a man made material).  But changing the countertops and backsplash in your kitchen or bath takes time, and obviously bucks… 

Here’s a  nifty idea that just might work for you- and even on the cheap… Tile Tattoos are offered by UK based company Mibo- and Mibo offers several different modern design choices. 

Happy Updating!

Las Vegas Nevada Weekly Real Estate Sales Statistics…by the numbers: 2/22/10-2/28/10

With a big jump in properties that closed escrow in the Las Vegas Valley (320 more homes) this week, and only a handful of additional listings- this unique market still proves that HOMES ARE SELLING. The  so-called “DEALS & STEALS” are becoming harder to come by.

As we inch nearer to the HOMEBUYER TAX CREDIT deadline, I expect to see an even larger surge in sales.

In my opinion, we’ve still got a long, steep road ahead of us here in Las Vegas. We’re going to see a lot more sellers opting to sell their homes as SHORT SALES.  We’re going to see a lot more REO’s (bank owned properties) hit the market.  But, as recovery goes, we’ve got to get the mess we’re in cleaned up, and this is how it’s going to happen.  Every time a “distressed” property is listed and ultimately sold, we are one step closer to the upward turn…

With that being said, here’s a bird’s eye look at last weeks numbers:

Data provided for week of  2/22/10 through 2/28/10 in Greater Las Vegas Valley.

ACTIVE Single Family Residence (SFR): 17,586  (+9 from last week)
(includes ALL Active & Contingent Listings) 

ACTIVE Condominiums/ Townhomes (C/T): 4,117 (+8 from last week)
(includes ALL Active & Contingent Listings)

ACTIVE SFR & C/T
Only Short Sales:  13,895 (+46 from last week)
Only REO (Real Estate Owned- Bank Foreclosures): 3,208 (+11 from last week)

PENDING SFR: 2,301 (-114 from last week)

PENDING C/T: 555  (-51 from last week)

SOLD SFR (2/22- 2/28):  631  (+240 from last week)

SOLD C/T(2/22- 2/28): 166 (+80 from last week)
