July 09, Forrest Barbee
Forrest Barbee, a member of the Boards of Directors for the
Greater Las Vegas Association of REALTORS and the
Nevada Association of REALTORS, provided our
membership with an analysis of the Las Vegas residential
real estate market, including a comparison to Sun City
Anthem properties. His slides and discussion indicated that
Sun City has been more successful in selling property in
the mid-price range (above the median price) than in other
subdivisions in the Las Vegas Valley. We have had fewer
bank foreclosures being resold, which means that
residents are more successful in selling than in the
valley. He also discussed the impact of newly passed
legislation, paying particular attention to the impact on
homeowners associations. Feedback from several
members was very positive.
