Housing prices will fall in Las Vegas as Investors begin to sell off property
Elaine Odeh Las Vegas Realtor
Feb 28, 2023
Redfin is reporting that investors are buying about half as many homes as they were a year ago. There was a 46% decline in investor home purchases in the US fourth quarter of 2022. And in Las Vegas, the drop in investor home purchases was 67%!
Without the investors buying up all the property, more inventory (and its growing fast) is now open to buyers. The problem though is prices are still way too high for most people who would like to own a home. And since those would-be buyers can’t buy at current prices, the prices are going to have to come down.
If you are thinking about selling, your home is dropping in value every day, and it’s not going to even start going up again for a long, long time. So sell it right now. And talk to someone who knows what they are doing (like me) so you can price it correctly and sell it fast before you lose all of the gains you made over the last few years.

Denver spent $8 million on migrants since December, nearly $1 million for bus tickets to other cities
Mayor Michael Hancock told PBS News Hour in January that the U.S. has “failed to develop a sensible immigration strategy,” and that major cities, including Denver, are experiencing an influx of migrants that makes it difficult to assist them individually.
“I think the reality is, is that we have, again, failed to develop a sensible immigration strategy for this nation and to help our border cities — states and cities to deal effectively with the right resources, with the right safety net systems to help those who want to come to the U.S.,” Hancock said. “And so other cities like Tucson and Denver and Chicago, who may not be necessarily on that border, are being surged with migrants who are looking for opportunity in the U.S. as they have come across, unauthorized for the most part, into the United States.”
Tucson is on the border Mike. It’s probably number 2 for human trafficking after the Rio Grande Valley.
Boycott Denver.
Starve the city of revenue. I don’t pay property taxes to Denver, and I make a point of not spending money in Denver, no sales taxes for you.
It doesn’t take much effort, just choose to spend money in Arapahoe, Jefferson, Douglas Counties instead. Not that they’re that much better, but I’d rather make money in Denver, and not spend it there.
A Bronx father was stabbed to death outside a public housing complex Wednesday morning, police and his heartbroken nephew said.
Derrick Hamlin, 51, got into an altercation with his killer outside the John Adams Houses on Tinton Ave. near E. 152nd St. in Woodstock around 11:40 a.m., cops said.
When police arrived on the scene, they found Hamlin with a stab wound to his neck.
Medics rushed him to Lincoln Hospital, but he could not be saved.
He lived about a half mile away in the same neighborhood, where family gathered Wednesday night.
“He was a hardworking family man,” said the man’s nephew Dwayne Hamlin. “He was the one who taught me about hard work and responsibility.”
Hamlin had three girls and a boy, the youngest age 11.
“Whenever we had a problem we said go see Boe — that’s what everyone called him,” said Dwayne Hamlin, 34. “He was always there for us.”
The victim worked for a Manhattan law firm doing maintenance. He also picked up shifts as a mover for extra cash.
“I want to hammer home the point he was a real family man,” Dwayne Hamlin said, noting that after his uncle had kids, he cleaned up his act and started working hard to provide for them.
“He loved his kids and he was just crazy about his daughter.”
There were no immediate arrests as police worked to track down Hamlin’s killer.
“For something to escalate to that point at 11 o’clock in the morning,” Dwayne Hamlin said, trailing off. “It just doesn’t make any sense.”
At home, Carter embraced Neo-Liberalism, pro-business economic policies, deregulation, and, ultimately, austerity. While Governor of Georgia he was introduced to corporate leaders from Coca-Cola and other companies and then mentored by David Rockefeller, who brought him into the Trilateral Commission and took him on junkets to various countries where Carter received his education in global politics. Along the way, he began to take a role in national Democratic Party politics, and was a leader in the 1972 “Stop McGovern” campaign at the Democratic convention that failed but clearly showed the rightward direction in which the party was headed.

So Jimmy Carter, with some differences, also operated within, maintained, and strengthened American hegemony and imperialism, and global instability, during his time in office. His presidency is a great study in the structural imperatives of the American government, and Liberalism, and how even people with a good heart are war criminals when conducting affairs of the state.

The excommunication of Racicot came as a surprise not only to the former governor, but to those who remember Racicot as a fiscal conservative, a staunch ally of George W. Bush and an advocate for deregulation and business interests. For many who lived through Racicot’s involvement in the 2000 Florida election recount, as well as his tenure as Montana Governor and chairman of the Republican National Committee, the notion that the politician “is not considered … to be a Republican” signaled a startling assertion by the Montana GOP
