There are few real estate markets out there that have taken a browbeating as severe as the Las Vegas / Henderson, NV Luxury Real Estate Market. Between new construction projects getting cancelled and the run-of-the-mill mass hysteria our current economic climate has been breeding, people with the means to make a brilliant purchase are sitting on their thumbs and T-Bills instead. There are few buyers out there, however, that refused to be recessed by the recession and turned the lemons of home seller’s misery into their own personal lemonade. They took the pricing into their own hands (with the help of their trusted real estate advisor, of course!) and scored some of the best deals in the history of Las Vegas real estate!
Make Them An Offer They Can’t Refuse
For transactions that closed in the past 6 months from the writing of this post for homes with a List Price of $1,000,000 and above, the Sales Prices have averaged an astonishing 12% less than the list prices! Let’s take a look at some of the better steals savvy buyers have made these past 6 months:
- After several price reductions from $6,000,000, a magnificent property in Anthem Country Club was listed at $4,199,999 and was sold for a cool $3.3 million!
- A 19th Floor condo at Panorama Towers listed at $1,200,000 sold for only 75% of its list price at $900,000.
- The big sale of the 2008 happened with a true masterpiece in The Ridges which originally had a list price of $18,500,000 and had price reductions to $16,995,000 finally sold to a cash price of $11,500,000! Yes, that is $7,000,000 below original listed price!
Everything but the kitchen sink is being done to entice buyers in the Las Vegas / Henderson Luxury Real Estate market right now. From dramatic $10,000,000 price reductions to an almost unheard of $250,000 incentive to buyer’s agents from desperate sellers trying sell their property, the luxury market is reeling and ripe for the pickings for savvy people with the means to make what may very well be the buy of a lifetime.

I think all we have to do is add a little punctuation mark to Vito Corleone’s infamous line to demonstrate how to best take advantage of this crazy time. Make them an offer. They can’t refuse.

Here’s something you wont see on the 6 o’clock news…..the Las Vegas / Henderson, NV real estate market saw the highest number of Single Family Residence sales in January 2009 than any other January on record. With an outstanding 2,224 units sold, it was our busiest January ever and completely obliterated the measly 983 Single Family homes sold in January of 2008.
The Rush is On!
The opportunities that our current market is providing to smart buyers may very well be the greatest opportunities that this generation will ever see in the Las Vegas / Henderson area. From $50,000 condos to one of the most magnificent pieces of real estate in the world that recently had a $10 million price reduction (!!!!!), the deals are abundant and found throughout our entire market, geographically speaking as well as in price range.
2,224 transactions in January of 2009 spoke loudly to not be recessed by the recession. The only way to know how you can take advantage of this market is to ask and seek the truth.
And by the way…February of 2009 ain’t looking too bad either, with numbers already beating out 2008 numbers by the writing of this post, and we still have the busiest 8 days to go!

Breaking News: Harmon Hotel and Spa Eliminates Residential Component
Posted by admin in citycenter, henderson realtor, keller williams, keller williams realty, las vegas, las vegas high rise, las vegas homes, las vegas investment properties, las vegas luxury condo, las vegas luxury homes, las vegas luxury lifestyle, las vegas luxury living, las vegas luxury real estate, las vegas real estate, las vegas real estate market data, las vegas realtor, las vegas strip, living in las vegas on January 7th, 2009
After months of speculation, MGM Mirage has decided to eliminate the residential element from the Harmon Hotel, Spa & Residences (now known as the Harmon Hotel & Spa). Construction issues and lack of residential sales throughout the entire CityCenter project has helped in making the decision to change the scope of the project.
The Harmon is the blue tower to the front right
A press release issued by MGM Mirage this morning (January 7, 2009), had this to say for the 88 units under contract at the Harmon:
The Harmon as developed would have had approximately 200 residential units, of which 88 are under contract to be sold. Purchasers will be entitled to receive refunds of their deposits, but will be given the opportunity to purchase units at the Residences at Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas, Vdara and Veer Towers.
Construction of the Harmon Hotel & Spa also appears to be delayed by one year, however the other spectacular components of CityCenter, Aria Resort & Casino, Veer Towers, Mandarin Oriental Hotel & Residences and Vdara all appear to be on schedule to be fully open by the end of December of this year.
Stay tuned to the Prime Real Estate Las Vegas.com Blog for further developments.

Le Cirque: A Table In Heaven
Posted by admin in citycenter, henderson luxury living, henderson realtor, henderson restaurants, keller williams, keller williams realty, las vegas, las vegas fine dining, las vegas high rise, las vegas luxury condo, las vegas luxury lifestyle, las vegas luxury living, las vegas news, las vegas realtor, las vegas restaurants, las vegas strip, living in henderson, living in las vegas, mike dobranski on January 6th, 2009
Tiger Woods hits golf balls, Yo-Yo Ma plays the cello and Sirio Maccioni develops restaurants. Developing and running what many considered to be the greatest restaurant in the world, Le Cirque, the Maccioni family is the highlight of HBO Films latest documentary, Le Cirque: A Table In Heaven.
Sirio Maccioni
This fun, yet poignant film documents the December 31, 2004 closing of the second incarnation of Maccioni’s masterpiece, Le Cirque 2000 in the Palace Hotel in New York City, and the development and opening of the new home for Le Cirque across town in the Bloomberg Building. In addition to that, we get some insight as to how Sirio rose from being a bus boy to one of the most respected restaurateurs in the world.
At the heart of the documentary is the ongoing struggle every businessperson faces; how many traditional methods should be sacrificed for progressive evolution. Deeply rooted in the traditional ways, Sirio wanted the food and the service that made Le Cirque the respected name that it is in the first place to continue to be the main attraction. His sons, Mario, Marco and Mauro, however, want to get the restaurant back on the cutting edge which means offering more progressive menu items and relaxing the dress code a bit. The dilemma of sacrificing service to improve the bottom line comes up in several aspects of developing the restaurant concept, just as it does for any trade that any businessperson pursues. Being able to see the inner workings of these decisions was both educational and entertaining at the same time, and I highly recommend you watch the documentary to see what happens.
Le Cirque Logo
Luckily for us living in the Las Vegas / Henderson area, the Maccioni family has extended its brand and brought out both their Le Cirque and Osteria del Circo (both found in the Bellagio resort) concepts which continually receive rave reviews and are certainly in the upper echelon of restaurant offerings Las Vegas has. Considering how many extraordinary restaurants we have in Las Vegas, that is saying a lot!
With the great success the Maccioni family has seen in Las Vegas, as a new restaurant is being developed to open in the new ARIA Resort and Casino that is slated to open in late 2009. Currently slated to offer traditional Tuscan cuisine, Maccioni’s new restaurant will surely be a huge hit on The Las Vegas Strip!
