Another Mesquite Nevada custom home sold in 30 days - the good ones go quick! This home was in one of the higher price ranges of MLS listings here, they do not get as many showings as the lower priced homes in our area. Yet the higher end homes that were previously on the market for a long time are starting to sell. Could be a sign of the real estate recovery in several neighborhoods in Mesquite.
Buyers are looking at homes online and coming to Mesquite with a list of homes to see, only to find that many of them are already pending sales when they get here.
Glad it sold quickly, but I am a little disappointed that I did not get to go over and help myself to some of the figs and grapes that were about to be ripe for the picking.
The home was vacant, so picking the fruit from the trees would be part of my listing maintenance, right?
And yes, fruits and vegetables do grow in Mesquite Nevada - even with the desert climate and very little rain. We do have automatic sprinkler and drip systems. :)
The escrow period went well. All 4 days of it! It was a trustee sale, but we got the offer and signatures on Thursday and opened escrow. This was another cash sale with no appraisal or loan to wait for, so we were able to close quickly, but the buyer requested 30 days to close escrow in the contract.
Mr Buyer called on Monday and said, 'Let's close it today!' We couldn't quite accommodate him, but we did manage to close on Tuesday. It is a little easier to get things done when there is No Homeowner Association in this neighborhood. Getting the HOA demands and records can take up to 10 days.
So now the new owner of this lovely custom home gets to harvest the crops!

The appraisals were done by 3 different appraisal companies. On 2 of them, short sales and foreclosures were used as comps. The 3rd home is in a neighborhood with very few distressed properties.
So the news is
bogus?
