Change Is In The Air! Anytime the real estate market shows signs of change, people start worrying about a repeat of the year 2008. In that year, we saw real estate go off a cliff!

Average time on market (listing until sold, per RMLS Regional Multiple Listing Service) went from 44 days to 156. Are we headed to the cliff again? Is another bubble about to burst?

From 2000 to 2008, average sale price increased 74% ($175,400 to $305,500, also per RMLS). Guess what the increase was from 2011 to now: 85% ($212,100 to nearly $400,000).

Anytime the real estate market shows signs of change, people start worrying about a repeat of the year In that year, we saw real estate go off a cliff! The housing bubble burst. Eventually, average home prices dropped $100,000 from the high point reached in Average time on market (listing until sold, per RMLS Regional Multiple Listing Service) went from 44 days to 156. Are we headed to the cliff again? Is another bubble about to burst? Caution is wise, as there are similarities between 2008 and 2018, but there are also big differences that should allow homeowners and homebuyers to sleep at night. The similarities? From 2000 to 2008, average sale price increased 74% ($175,400 to $305,500, also per RMLS). Guess what the increase was from 2011 to now: 85% ($212,100 to nearly $400,000). It wasn t just the spike in values that led to the 2008 cliff (or bubble burst), though. As detailed in the movie The Big Short, it was no-money-down loans and no-document ( liar ) loans that allowed borrowers (many with poor credit) to buy multiple houses with the hope that rising values would make it a good investment. When values stopped rising, borrowers simply stopped paying. What s different this time? Our local increase in values has been driven not by liar loans ( trust me, I make a gazillion a year, so let me buy six houses ), but by growth caused by legitimate factors: increasing employment Scott Hogan Clark County Title Scott@ClarkCountyTitle.com and in-migration. Loan qualification requirements are stricter than before it s much less-likely than in that homeowners will walk away from houses, even if home values don t increase as quickly. Even as interest rates adjust, there s every reason to believe that Clark County real estate will continue to be a great investment, especially when viewed long-term or when compared to renting it s more important in this changing market to consult with expert Realtors and lenders to make sure you are valuing real estate properly.

Read the entire results of Consumer Reports testing, including these models and others, at ly/2feclbh. When buying your home, it s easy to get wrapped up in the excitement of making the new property your own. One area many homeowners forget about is changing the current door locks. Experts at the real-estate organization Trulia strongly urge buyers to make this a priority after closing. You never know how many others have keys to your property. It s a scary thought. Consider upgrading to a smart lock to give your property a stronger sense of security. According to livesafely.org, in some areas over 50 percent of home burglaries are caused by a technique known as lock bumping. This technique is accomplished by using a bump key which is a tool used by locksmiths to gain access to most traditional locks. With the rise of 3D printing and e-commerce websites, these tools are now widely available and can easily end up in the wrong hands. Protect your family and belongings by enlisting the help of a locksmith to ensure new locks are installed properly and safely. Modern technology has advanced traditional door security with incredible options that make it more difficult for wrongdoers to make their way inside. If you re in the process of purchasing a new home or simply looking for a way to increase security, consider the incredible innovations in smart locks, as recommended by the organization Safe Home. KEYPAD AND COMBINATION LOCKS A way to avoid being the victim of a bump key break-in is to do away with a keyhole entirely. Upgrading to a keypad entry system gives a homeowner the option to use a secure code before the door will open. Older models of this technology used physical buttons, but recent systems have updated to digital touchpads. Not only will you be providing more security to your home, but you can add a modern touch with this attractive style of lock. Many of these keypads include an additional deadbolt and the ability to connect it with other smart equipment in your home. Checking to ensure the locks are engaged while you re away from home offers incredible peace of mind. KEYLESS AND WIRELESS SMART LOCKS The days of hiding a spare key for loved ones to check on your property while you are away are gone. With a WiFi-enabled smart lock, the doors can be unlocked remotely. While many manufacturers are offering this system, the most efficient option is to purchase it through a home security service, as it will be supported with a secure app. Many of these locks use Bluetooth to sense you are nearby and will automatically unlock. This great convenience comes in handy for busy parents who rarely have an extra hand to spare. KEY FOB LOCKS Much like new vehicles, these locks only disengage if it senses a dedicated key fob when touched. An expert can set up each door of your home to react to the same fob, making it simple for you to get in and effective at keeping others out.
