10% of Las Vegas Real Estate Purchased by Non-US Citizens

Las Vegas high rise condominiums have at all times been known for their world class designs and above average amenities exclusive to Vegas. The weakness in the American dollar in comparison to other foreign currencies has made investing so much more attractive to foreign buyers.

Banks are also making it easier for foreign investors to purchase real estate in the United States with their low interest rates and new lending guidelines.

According to public records from the Clark County recorder’s office, 10 percent of all Las Vegas real estate dealings in southern Nevada are non-citizen buyers. According to Ashley McMcormick of Realty one, Nevada’s largest broker, Canadians make up a majorly of these buyers followed by the Asian market.

In mixture to the strength in the Canadian dollars these days and to get away the cold winter months, Canadians are opting for second homes in Las Vegas.

Fortune Magazine only just described that foreign buyers have bought just about thirty percent of the high rise condo units in the newly build Mandarin Oriental section of MGM City Center in Las Vegas.

Within months, the entire building was almost sold out to foreigners. For those looking to get off the strip, communities like Lake Las vegas are becoming popular. First time buyers from previous years are now returning and buying homes and condos for sale investing rentals, some sight unseen.

These foreign buyers are “Getting a Taste of the Las Vegas Lifestyle” and they want to retire here. They are fascinated by the high-class amusement, excellent restaurants, great shopping experience and nice temperatures during the winter months. With the ease of sending pictures, images, reviews and documentation by email to prospective real estate investors, previous buyers are getting Las Vegas condominiums and homes sight unseen and renting them out.

There are presently over twenty five high rise and mid rise condo communities in Las Vegas to include the nationally known Turnberry and internationally acclaimed One Queensridge in Summerlin.
