Tuscany Village – A Henderson Paradise

Just 10 minutes from Lake Mead, a lushly landscaped paradise awaits! With the security of a lavish, guard-gated entry, Tuscany Village in Henderson provides the safety and tropical destination feel you are looking for! Your home site could boast sweeping golf course and mountain views. If the lights of the Las Vegas Strip are more your speed, you can step onto your balcony or patio and take in the green of the golf course while enjoying the twinkle of the Las Vegas skyline.

Tuscany Village is a community originally developed by local builder Jim Rhodes. The Tuscany golf course is an 18-hole, 6906 yard, par 72 championship course designed by Ted Robinson. The 526 acre master plan is located on the northeastern edge of Henderson, just minutes away from McCarran Airport, the Las Vegas Strip and the Lake Mead Recreational Area.

The communities inside Tuscany Village offer one, two and even three story homes with a wide variety of price ranges, and home sizes that range from 1271 square feet to more than 4000 square feet. There are both new and resale homes available for sale, and at completion Tuscany Village will have approximately 2,400 homes and almost 7,000 residents. The builders currently offering new homes are Century Communities (formerly Dunhill Homes) and Lennar.

Residents can play a championship golf course, work out at a 35,000-square foot recreation center, and walk or bike for miles among the many trails offered by the City of Henderson. With new floor-plans starting in the mid $100s up to the mid $400s, and re-sale into the high $600s, there are many opportunities to find the perfect home.

How Did Summerlin Get Its Name?

When I first visited Las Vegas over 12 years ago, I kept hearing about an area called “Summer Land” – or so I thought it was named. I assumed it referred to how it always felt like it was Summer in Vegas and appreciated the humor in it. After a few more visits, I learned that it was called “Summerlin”and thought it an interesting name that had a certain lilt to the sound of it, but having no idea of why it was named as such.

Then a few years later, I became a resident of the area and delved a little more into the history of the name. Many people who live here know that Howard Hughes (Jr.) owned lands in the area, but not how much or what he planned. He owned 25,000 acres of the North West Las Vegas area, and had planned on moving his aircraft company there. In addition, he wanted to develop a large master planned community there among several areas he dreamed of. But he passed away in 1976 before he could see this dream manifested.

His dream was not forgotten. In 1990, The Hughes Corporation followed through by developing the land as envisioned by Howard Hughes. In honor of his family, they named the community“Summerlin” after his grandmother – Jean Amelia Summerlin Hughes, who had lived from 1842 to 1928. Her children not only included Howard Hughes (Sr.), an inventor, but also an opera singer (Greta) and a screenwriter/novelist (Rupert). She was obviously a woman who encouraged creativity and education, which passed down through the generations. With one of her legacies being the vibrant community we call “Summerlin.”

Proof That Hiring The Shay Hasselmann Group To Sell Your Las Vegas Home Pays Off!!

With our unique and razor sharp marketing techniques we often sell homes in communities for the highest price sold in years! We also have also sold client's homes for all time record community sales.

A couple of months ago a woman invited us to her house to go over our comparative market analysis we made for her. We went through the numbers and after assessing the house I confirmed the price at the top of the range I had sent for her based on comparable homes in the neighborhood. She had already seen my marketing materials from my professional real estate photographer and was excited to see how we lit up her house and made it stand out online as well. She told me that after speaking with me in person( we had been conversing for weeks via phone, email and text) she was ready to list with us. 

She explained to me that the other two agents she interviewed were more concerned with selling their services with scripted dialog and rebuttals then showing their results and what they would do to sell her home! They also wanted to list the house for $40,000 less!! I appreciate when most agents do this for me and was happy when a couple of weeks later we were in contract for just under list price!

I had several buyers' agents call over the course of time to ask why I had it listed so high. I asked them if they had seen the comparable sales because we were priced at the top end of the recently sold homes that were almost identical to my clients home? They claimed they had, but obviously they had not. We had no issues and the appraisal came in spot on! 

The lesson here is to not short change yourself when it comes to selling your Las Vegas Home. Make sure your agent has a strong internet presence as that is what sells homes today! Where do you go when you want to find anything? Right! The internet! Make sure your agent has a top notch professional photographer on staff and is willing to invest in the sale of your home for the most money! If you are ready to sell your Las Vegas home then follow these super simple steps to get the process started!

Keller Williams Realty Las Vegas Rocks!! What helped to shape my success in the beginning!

I am fortunate to be in business with Keller Williams Realty Las Vegas as it is full of positive, hard working,  and ethical real estate agents. The main reason I joined KWLV was to be a part of an excellent luxury team that was already here. After I went on my own I realized how fortunate I was to be in an office where the agents really care about each other and have a lot of fun while producing outstanding real estate results! 

There is a diverse and friendly group of agents and staff at our office. There is a "specialist" in every category and the best part is that they are willing to sit with you one on one (after being scheduled) to go over whatever you need. I took great advantage of this generosity in the beginning, but have been fortunate to repay now that I am honing my specialized skills as well. I help both new and seasoned agents with time management, efficiency, online marketing, and with a tenant placement system that I created as well. 

All of these things and these people allow me to help my clients to sell and buy their Las Vegas homes in the most efficient and stress free manner as possible. When you hire the right team with the right support it makes for quite and enjoyable and lucrative experience for everyone involved. Google Shay Hasselmann to read the reviews yourself! 

Below are a few comments from our office Market Center Administrator Stacy:

We're growing, and business is growing - we are up 35% in listing volume from January 2013, with 18% fewer listings taken - WOW! We're also up a little over 2% for closed volume over January 2013, and up 3% over December '13.  Lots of smiling faces around this office, and I'm blessed to be able to write big checks to make smiles get even bigger.  Keep up the amazing work!

HOW IS THE LAS VEGAS REAL ESTATE MARKET TODAY 2-5-14??

As of today February 5th, 2014 the Las Vegas valley has 7058 single family residences available to purchase. This is down from nearly 8000 single family homes that were available at the end of 2013. It is still at a much healthier number than what we started with at the beginning of 2013 which was below 4000.

Out of the homes currently available today 1074(15%) are short sales. This leave the majority of homes available today to be traditional non-distressed sales.

The valley has 1829 condo/ townhome properties available for sale today. 317(17%) of those are short sales.

What this means is while prices skyrocketed last year due to low inventory and interest spikes that reached over 6% we are still in a more steady and balanced market. Prices are not increasing or decreasing much at the moment, but with interest rates possibly climbing back into the 6% range this summer look for buyers to lose purchasing power. Higher interest rates add hundreds of dollars to a financed home payments making affordability much lower. This has the ability to increase inventory while decreasing demand and further softening the market prices.
