High unemployment in construction,
gaming and retail sales is contributing to the epidemic of foreclosures
in Nevada, which has slowed as bankers hold back on foreclosing
properties in an attempt to raise housing prices.
An assortment of new
casino projects under construction has been stopped in their tracks,
victims of the global financial meltdown. Unemployment in the
construction industry alone is 65% in Las Vegas.
However, the $7.8 billion City Center project just opened mid December 2009 creating 12,000+ jobs and a needed surge of economic activity.
Discounted foreclosures are
attracting buyers, accounting for more than half of all sales in Las
Vegas. Even as sales pick-up housing prices are declining, but at a
slower rate of deflation. However, a second round of foreclosures is
projected to hit Las Vegas in early 2010, which will deflate home
values more rapidly.
Bankers are working
with homeowners more effectively in short sales, enticed by federal
stimulus money to work with owners to sell homes at a reduced price
instead of foreclosing. The process, however, can take months to work
out with mortgage servicing companies and historically only a small
percentage of deals close.
Investors make up the
largest percentage of home buyers in Las Vegas, which had the highest
number of subprime and adjustable rate mortgages go into default in the
country. The fall-out from the housing crash is far from over in Las
Vegas, which is projected to see another 60,000 foreclosures in 2010.
Bankers will slash prices on homes to get them off their books,
pressuring the market down further. Housing Predictor forecasts Las
Vegas average housing prices to deflate 15.4% in 2010.

New home building has come to a virtual
halt in Henderson as developers walk away from projects, leaving
subdivisions like Zombies. The housing crash has damaged the local
economy, and sent construction workers to the unemployment lines. A
turn around isn't expected any time soon in Henderson, which is
forecast to sustain average housing deflation of another 13.5% in 2010.
