Inflection Points
For those of you who have lived in or visited Las Vegas in the past few years, the impact of the recession has been quite obvious. For those who have been to Las Vegas recently, there are now some very bright spots in the regional economy that are also obvious. Just several years ago, one could drive down nearly any street in a residential neighborhood and see for-sale signs on at least one home. Things are far different today and while listing inventory is significantly higher than one year ag... read more

Movement is occuring in the Las Vegas commercial sector. We are seeing a lot of investor interest in Las Vegas and finally some office absorption.
