  Fernley Homes and Real Estate Summary: Fernley prices continue to stabilize, this paired with the fact that median sales prices are up and continue to settle indicates we just may be at the bottom. Of course market conditions will continue to be influenced by high unemployment. Although there are media reports of a 'double dip' recessiion, the current median sales price and historic low interest rates make this a good time to buy, especially for those that have been on the fence.

I also do property management and I just closed out the file for one of my tenants, Dale and Tiffany.  Dale and Tiffany were tenants for 6 years!  They got married and had their first child during this time. For the past year they have been dreaming of their own home, diligently searching all the listings.  Their lender had them on the path to homeownership and showed them what to with their financials and improve their credit. Moving day into the new home came a few weeks ago, I did a post and video with Dale and Tiffany in their new home. Yesterday, we closed out the rental and said our good-byes.  It was a happy and sad time.  When Dale and Tiffany handed me the flowers and a thank you card, we all became a little teary-eyed. At the end of the day, I know I did a good job for them a...

Fernley, Nevada HUD home in golf course SOLD! A great neighborhood and a HUD home with a lot of potential sold for $50,000 cash. A 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 story home 1560 square feet with a two car garage on a .19 lot. The previous owners did not take very good care of the home so the home needs some rehab. Most of the work is cosmetic which includes drywall work, paint, new carpet and general clean up. An open floor plan and the upstairs is the master bedroom, full bath and a huge loft/office. My buyers from California bought the house sight unseen and very happy with their new home. I can't wait to see the home when they are finished!

Dale and Tiffany rented a 3 bedroom home in Fernley from Sandra Mathewson for over 6 years. But, they always knew that someday they wanted their own home. That someday came on October 21, 2011 when the couple were handed the keys to their first home! Sandra set Tiffany up with ListingBook, a link to the local MLS, and Tiffany spent close to a year looking at homes, styles and neighborhoods. As prices came down and interest rates reached historic lows, they knew the time had come. From the moment they stepped inside this 4 bedroom, 2 bath, 2088 square foot home with a 3 car garage, they knew this was the one! They loved the open floor plan, the separate formal living/dining room and the corner lot. The family room has a gas log fireplace and is part of the expansive kitchen with an isla...

    This bank owned, 1834 square foot home with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and two car garage on a quarter acre lot has so much potential. There is an entry, expansive living room with gas fireplace, kitchen with nook and large pantry. High ceilings, plant shelves, formal dining room, and big family room, central A/C are all the things that attracted Rob and Crystal to this home. The house sits on a cul-du-sac, so the lot is pie shaped which yields an immense rear yard, no rear neighbors and mountain views. Rob called Sandra one afternoon inquiring about one of her listings. When he found out it was a short sale he wasn't interested. Sandra sent Rob and Crystal some listings to look at and they picked this one to make an offer on, sight unseen! When their offer was accepted, Rob and Crystal d...

Distressed homeowners in Nevada were given several key protections in the last legislative session, with one new law potentially spelling trouble for banks guilty of sloppy record keeping while selling mortgage notes to investors. The new measures include protections against unscrupulous debt buyers who "double dip" by buying mortgage notes for pennies on the dollar and then turn around to collect debt from borrowers for the note's original amount. Stricter documentation reqirements also means banks must show actual proof of ownership before being allowed to complete a foreclosure sale. The new laws are welcome relief for borrowers frustrated by a system that typically did not come down hard on lenders who failed to act in good faith. The three new laws  are expected to make a differen...
