Mistakes to Avoid When Scouring the Las Vegas MLS Listings

For those who have "Buying Home - Las Vegas" at the top of their goal list, you need to understand any real estate market can be a confusing. Just ask Jason Baughman and his wife Hailey, who works as a a flight attendant out of McCarran.


“When going through the Las Vegas MLS listings there are things to keep in mind besides the house itself,” Hailey said. “With any Las Vegas real estate for sale you’re not just buying a house. You’re also buying into the neighborhood and neighbors too. And if you aren’t careful you can get a great house but a bad neighborhood.”

"We tried to remember the advice we got about buying a home. Las Vegas is no different than any other city. You need to dig a bit below the surface about the neighborhood. To make sure you're getting what you expect."

When digging here's some things to look for.

1) Find out about noise pollution. Ask the seller. Bring it up with your Realtor. Check with the neighbors. But don't stop there.

Visit at times other Saturday mornings when noise levels are apt to be at a minimum.

Each time you visit stop by at a different time.

Park up the street for an evening. Bring a book and see what happens.

But that's not all to consider if you want to buy a house in Las Vegas

2) Learn about coming attractions in the area. Shopping centers. Parks. New roads. This kind of stuff may be common knowledge to the natives but might have escaped your notice. It's always better to find out before you buy rather than just after.

3) Do the social expectations of your neighbors match yours? Do you want block parties, look forward to sitting on the front porch or do you simply want a wave and a smile?

Do you want to keep to yourself of be part of a community?

To help try to find out educational backgrounds. Ages. Mostly married or single? To what extent does any of this matter to you if you looking for a Las Vegas home?

Hopefully you can see there's more to house hunting than simply scouring the Las Vegas MLS listings.
