Erik received a verbal notification on his next assignment this past weekend. Rumor has it we'll be moving to Las Vegas this year. We're both ready and excited to get the ball rolling.
I've been doing research for awhile since we thought this could be one option. It appears the 60% housing price drop and being #1 in foreclosures isn't that great. As you most know, the foreclosures are bank owned, so they drop prices to create bidding wars (among other reasons). Some of these houses are getting 25+ bids on them. Cash buyers and investors to seem to be winning the bidding wars against people like us, normal Joe. That also decreases the neighborhood value so the assessments are coming in way low. The sellers are trying to sell their houses for way more than the appraisals and won't drop their selling price. Sooooo... it ought to be interesting. No shortage of homes though. We're contemplating the Summerlin area verses Aliante or Centennial Hills and in between those latter two.
We're both really looking forward to getting out and do some hiking and mountain biking in the hills. Mt Charleston is close and offer ski school for the little ones starting at age 4, can't wait. I know the 120 degree summer heat is going to be a challenge coming from this area but we'll deal. It's not like it's our first experience with heat.
So that's about it for now. Vegas Baby!
