Las Vegas House
August 7th, 2009The economy stinks. Home prices have been pulverized. The stock market is a disaster. People are losing their jobs. Hey, I have a great idea… Maybe we should build a new house 2,500 miles across the country in the nation’s worst-hit city – Las Vegas! Let’s not rent it out or anything, let’s just keep it. Don’t you already own a condo in Las Vegas that you already pay for? Yup… We can rent that out I guess…
It’s all true folks. We figured it’s a great time to build a new house in Las Vegas. It’s a great time to buy, and since one day we are going to move there, we might as well secure 2009 prices. We surely go to Vegas a lot though. Last year, I think we were there for more than 30 days total. This year I estimate that it will be about the same, maybe a little more. At least we will use it.
Anyway… The house has 3-stories plus a rooftop deck looking out at the mountains. It will be done at the end of October! We are really excited… Maybe a little bit nervous, but excited.
The house is located in Mountain’s Edge, about 10 miles from the Strip. We got everything that we ever wanted in this baby. It will have a beautiful kitchen with all granite counters and back splashes, stainless steel appliances, extra tall cabinets with crown molding. My favorite part is the rooftop deck. Our lot borders US Government land, so our view of the mountains will never be obstructed.
