Las Vegas Housing Market Continues Positive Growth Through the End of Summer

Submitted by admin on Wed, 09/03/2014 - 11:22

The Las Vegas Housing Market remains on its path of consistent growth through the end of the summer, with median single-family home prices reaching $204,715 and condominium and townhomes prices growing to $108,993. The market is now at its highest point since the onset of the recession. Initial post-recession growth in Las Vegas was driven by institutional investors buying up inexpensive property with cash purchases. However, RealtyTrac is reporting that cash purchases have declined to 35% from 50% in this year alone and that the primary buyers are now local residents, and not investors.

US Government Report Positive Outlook for Real Estate

Submitted by admin on Thu, 03/06/2014 - 15:30

The management team at Phoenix Capital Fund-US continually tracks the US housing market to stay up to date on recent trends. A positive recent development is the continual rise in home prices through recent highs on the 10-year Treasury note. Given that US mortgage rates generally follow 10-year Treasury rates, and Treasury rates nearly doubled in 2013, it was a positive surprise to not see a significant drop in home sales in late 2013.

Submitted by admin on Fri, 02/14/2014 - 14:47

Morgan Stanely released an extensive analysis of the Buy-to-Rent real estate business model in the United States and was overall very positive about the growth potential and returns.

Institutional investment in buy-to-rent real estate was estimated to be $17B as of the 2013 summer, and Morgan Stanley saw the potential of the sector to grow to roughly $100B. The primary reasons for such a bullish outlook are the fact that most firms are buying below replacement cost (as Phoenix Capital Fund-US is) and there is the prospect of strong cash flows moving forward.

REITs can own a broad range of property types from residential apartments and homes to commercial office buildings, warehouses and hotels to even hospitals and shopping malls.
