As we look back on 2011, we !nd ourselves starting to see the real estate market stabilize and a glimpse of a recovery as more and more people took advantage of the downward pressure in pricing.

We also saw improvements in short sales, including those in the higher market segments, many of which are now being completed within 90 days. "is is promising for those looking to sell but have been reluctant due to market conditions and untenable lender conditions to this point.

I hope you enjoy this annual market report in an e#ort to provide a comprehensive analysis of the Las Vegas market with a more detailed look at some of our most prestigious communities. It is my intent to provide this information for educational purposes, not to be considered a fair market value assessment of any single property. If I can be of any further assistance, please let me know.

Market Over $500,000

While there was not as much activity in this segment, those that did participate were able to get some excellent value opportunities. We saw the beginning of a trend for those looking to move up into that next level of home.

For Buyers

A select group of long-term investors have started looking at this segment in earnest as it has much better value opportunities than at the lower levels due to less competition.

For Investors

We did see some improvements in the timing and success of “short sales” at the higher levels. As to be expected, there continued to be a market for those unique and distinctive properties which held their value more so than other properties in the higher segments. However, with less activity at the upper levels, downward pressure on pricing overall GSRXMRYIH�XS�FI�WMKRM½GERX�JEGXSV�

Market Over $500,000

WHILE A NUMBER OF “TREASURES” WERE PICKED UP IN 2011, THERE ARE LIKELY TO BE SOME MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE DISCERNING BUYER IN 2012. SHORT SALE AND BANK OWNED PROPERTIES WILL CONTINUE TO BE A PART OF THE LANDSCAPE, BUT THEY ARE NO LONGER AS CHALLENGING TO CLOSE AS IN THE PAST. THIS PROVIDES MORE OPTIONS FOR THOSE WILLING TO GIVE CONSIDERATION TO THESE PROPERTIES IN WHICH MOST HAVE SHUNNED OR DISREGARDED DUE TO THE CHALLENGES IN CLOSING. THIS NEW YEAR SHOULD CONTINUE TO OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF MARKET CONDITIONS AND PERHAPS ADVANCING THEIR SCHEDULE IN MOVING UP TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF LUXURY.

For Buyers

THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF SUCCESSFUL “FLIPPERS” WHO HAVE ENTERED THE LUXURY SEGMENT OF THE MARKET AND FOUND RETURNS WITH DISCOUNTED MATERIALS AND LABOR AT THEIR DISPOSAL. THIS OPPORTUNITY IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE IN 2012, BUT THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITIES WILL BE HAD BY THOSE REAL ESTATE INVESTORS LOOKING TO BUY AND HOLD WHILE RECEIVING RENTAL INCOME ALL THE WHILE.

For Investors

THERE IS ALWAYS A MARKET FOR HIGH-QUALITY AND VERY DISTINCTIVE PROPERTIES, AND THAT CONTINUES TO HOLD TRUE FOR OUR MARKET. HOWEVER, THE HIGHER END OF THE SEGMENT HAS BEEN HAMPERED BY DOWNWARD PRICE PRESSURE AS THE NUMBER OF BUYERS HAS DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY. PRESENTLY, MOST BUYERS ARE LOOKING AT THE VALUE OPPORTUNITIES AND THOSE PRICED TO MARKET ARE SELLING, ALTHOUGH WITH LONGER TIMEFRAMES THAN WE HAVE SEEN IN THE RECENT PAST.

For Sellers

Market Under $500,000

WHILE THE OVERALL INVENTORY HAS BEEN REDUCED AND THE NUMBER OF BANK OWNED PROPERTIES COMING TO MARKET HAS SLOWED CONSIDERABLY, THE NUMBER OF OPPORTUNITIES HAS BEEN REDUCED AS WELL. THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT THERE ARE NOT OPPORTUNITIES TO BE HAD, BUT RATHER IT TAKES MORE TIME AND EFFORT TO GET THE GREAT DEALS.

For Buyers

INVESTORS HAVE BEEN VERY ACTIVE OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE A LARGE PART OF THE MARKET. THE RETURNS ARE NOT AS EASILY FOUND AS THEY ONCE WERE WITH THE REDUCTION OF AVAILABLE INVENTORY. WHILE THERE IS STILL AN ACTIVE “FLIPPERS” MARKET, IT HAS DIMINISHED SOMEWHAT AND REPLACED BY INVESTORS ESTABLISHING OR EXPANDING THEIR RENTAL REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO.

For Investors

AS WE CONTINUE TO SEE PRICING BOUNCE ALONG THE TROUGH OF OUR MARKET, IT IS CRITICAL FOR SELLERS TO BE REALISTIC IN THEIR PRICING OBJECTIVES. WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE BANK-OWNED PROPERTIES COME TO MARKET AND AS MORE SHORT SALES ARE BEING SUCCESSFULLY SOLD IN SHORTER AMOUNTS OF TIME, COMPETITION WITH THE TRADITIONAL SALES MAY BECOME EVEN GREATER.

For Sellers

This is our world.

Because the worth of a homeMW�HI½RIH�MR�MX W�HIXEMPW�

THE WORTH OF A HOME can be found in details

that truly de!ne uniqueness - as simple as a centuries

old !replace that retains the historic prominance of

a time past, or as grand as a roo&op promenade atop

a landscape of city lights. So, to us, It’s not about

the size of the property, the number of bedrooms,

or even the price, but more about the distinct

character that makes a home noteworthy of being

called exceptional.
