Trump Tower Condo Available for Assignment at 2005 Prices!

Trump Towers Condos For SaleBecause I’ve been blogging so much about High Rises and Luxury Homes on my Luxury Blog Site ,I’ve been attracting buyers and sellers for all different kinds of properties. I recently came in contact with a man who has two contracts to purchase a one bedroom and a studio in Trump Towers Las Vegas.  This is a condo/hotel project by that funny haired man Donald Trump.   This buyer would like to assign his contracts at the original 2005 contracted sales price.  Yes folks, this is rolling back the clock to when they first offered these units to the public.    If you’d like more information regarding these units, visit my full post on my luxury blog by CLICKING HERE.   These prices beat EVERYTHING that’s on the market currently, and the position in the building is fantastic with south strip facing views.   A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYONE LOOKING IN TRUMP TOWERS LAS VEGAS.

San Francisco thinks Las Vegas Is More GAY!!

My friend from San Francisco just email me a link to an article in San Francisco Gate newspaper talking  about how Las Vegas has surpassed San Francisco as a gay and lesbian destination.   My eye brows raised at reading that statement.   It was a nice article though.  Here’s an excerpt:

Las Vegas, in fact, now outranks San Francisco as a destination for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender vacationers. It ranks second to New York and ahead of San Francisco in the latest Gay & Lesbian Tourism Study, conducted each year by Community Marketing Inc., a San Francisco research firm.

Glad to know we’re more accepting than I thought.

Signs of Life in the Las Vegas Real Estate Market

I just got a hold of a great graph to show what’s going on in our market right now.  Las Vegas is leading the nation with foreclosures, but the great news is our inventory of homes is slowly going down, while increased activity gives us signs that there IS light at the end of the tunnel.  Everyone take  a deep breath with me.  We’ll get through this and our market will be stronger for it.  Our contingent and pending sales from May 2008 are DOUBLE what they were a year ago. If activity continues to increase our inventory will go back to a normal market possibly by the end of the year.   Just as a side note, there are price ranges that are still selling quickly, in fact they are HOT.  I’ve noticed properties in Summerlin under $150 sq/ft are not on the market long and many have multiple offers.  If you’re a first time home buyer, get in the game sooner rather than later.

The Las Vegas Market is Hot

Ok, I should clarify that: Segments of our market are hot. I’ve been looking for some properties for my clients in a master plan community called Summerlin on the west side of Las Vegas. A lot of my clients are investors coming back into Las Vegas to capitalize on our down market. Properties that are listed around the $150 sq /ft price range in Summerlin, and under $350K are selling like hot cakes. Yes, we’re even seeing multiple offer situations on many of them. So contrary to frightening media report of a complete collapse of our market, there are still parts of town that are selling like crazy. In fact, I’ve personally seen banks intentionally price a property so under market in order to create an “unofficial” auction. Click on the picture below to see the recent sold properties since March 1, 2008. Take a look at the list price versus sales price. Many times the sales price is higher than the list. How is that possible in a down market? Foreclosures are ruling the market right now and banks want to get them off of their books. If you’d interested in foreclosures in Las Vegas, please give me a call directly at 702-683-2169 or email me with questions. Thanks!

Overcoming Fear

I’ve been re-reading this amazing book called The Power of the Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy. It’s an incredible book along the same lines as THE SECRET except I feel that this book is a little more structured than the secret.Fear It was first published in 1963 almost 50 years before The Secret. One of the chapters I read this morning was about overcoming fear. I think fear is one of th most debilitating emotions a person can experience. It was been the cause of failures, sickness, and unhappiness. Now, you can’t just stop feeling fear, but you can start making a mental shift in your thoughts. One key aspect to overcoming fear, is understanding the law of fear:

With every fear brings a desire for the opposite of the thing feared.

Think of your fear as a coin. One side of it has all of the negative, horrible feelings that incapacitate you. On the other side of the coin, lies your desired outcome and the peace you seek. It’s so yin-yang. So instead of placing the coin with the fear face up, focus on the other side with the desire for the opposite. Your subconscious mind cannot distinguish between what you want and what you don’t want. It only attracts into your life what you think about! PERIOD. So if you’re focusing on the object of your fear, the universe is going to deliver that to you.

 

Using affirmations to help nudge your subconscious mind into the right frame of mind is a wonderful way to overcome fear. It’s a little corny if you’ve never done it, but I have been using them for the last nine months and I’ve personally seen a HUGE benefit from them. You must be in a quiet state of mind, with no distractions, and state the desired outcome. Here’s an example:

It trust the infinite intelligence of my subconscious mind to guide me on my path to success and prosperity. I am one with the infinite riches of my subconscious mind. It is my right to be rich, happy, and successful. Money flows to me freely and endlessly. I am forever conscious of my true wealth. I give freely of my talents.

Look for the light If you repeat an affirmation like this, two or three times a day, you will begin to experience amazing results. Say the affirmation with good feelings and expect it to happen. Anytime you start to have doubt, go back to your affirmation. Repeat it over and over. Your subconscious has no choice but to listen to your words and your thoughts.  Seek the light you desire, not the darkness that creeps into your life. The outer vision MUST match the inner vision. That’s a law. Make sure your inner vision is something you want.

Happy Manifesting!
