SPICY SALMON TARTARE

It’s no secret: The Las Vegas housing market has been a roller coaster ride recently. The beginning of 2019 has seen a host of national and local factors that have worked to shift the real estate game in many important ways. If you are looking to sell your home to a cash buyer in today's economy, it pays to work with a team that has their pulse on the local market. ARE ALL BUYERS IN THE KNOW? There are plenty of cash buyers out there who haven’t caught on to the softening in the market. These may be small mom-and-pop home flippers who don’t do enough business to notice big-picture shifts like the rise in construction material costs. On the other hand, large national buyers can only focus on these macroeconomic shifts, ignoring local factors like what the addition of the Raiders Stadium actually means for property values in Las Vegas. The most informed buyers you can find are like First Prime Realty Group: local, but also doing enough business to track the month-to-month fluctuations in the economy. WHY SELL TO SOMEONE IN THE KNOW? Some may be thinking, “Why not sell to a buyer who doesn’t know the

market has softened? I could get a great deal!” This couldn’t be further from the truth. When you court an uninformed buyer, it’s only a matter of time before they wise up. These are the situations where sales fall through at the last minute. The flip side is that ill-informed buyers can also give you a bad deal. If they lack contacts in the local construction/ home rehabilitation market, or fail to grasp neighborhood-specific factors that boost the value of your property, these buyers might short you without sure is that no one knows what the future of the housing markets holds. Between trade wars, government shutdowns, social unrest, and interest rate increases, the economy as a whole is in a state of uncertainty. No one has a crystal ball; don’t believe buyers who give you an offer “based on where the market will be.” Our philosophy at First Prime Realty Group is to always meet the market where it’s at. That way, when we make you an offer, you can rest assured there won’t be surprises along the way. even knowing it. WHERE’S THE MARKET HEADING? The one thing experts know for
