Many active shoppers are securing price cuts or concessions, especially on homes that have been on the market for several weeks. Sellers who are pricing realistically, rather than chasing last year\u2019s record highs, are the ones seeing results. My own background in both real estate and mortgage lending has shown me just how much local conditions and smart pricing can shape a successful sale or purchase\u2014especially in dynamic markets like Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re seeing an interesting shift in the national housing market: in the four weeks ending August 23, the number of new listings in the US edged up by 0.4% week-over-week, with total homes for sale ticking up 0.5%.
