Nevada ― Introduction

Nevada is the 7th largest state in the union with a total land area of about 110,000 square miles. There are 485 miles between its most northern and southern points, and 315 miles between its most western and eastern points. The population of Nevada has grown to over 2.6 million people with more than 2.1 million people living in the Las Vegas valley. For 25 years, Nevada has been #1 in population growth in the U.S., ... and based on future projections Nevada will continue to be #1 in population growth for the next 25 years. Nevada is a great place to visit and it's even a greater place to reside in.

Beautiful Nevada

While Laughlin at the most southern point of Nevada is just above sea level, Las Vegas is high above it with an average elevation of over 2,000 feet. Once you get into the northern parts of Nevada, even 6,000+ ft. above sea level is very common. Fresh mountain air sweeps through the valleys. By the way, Nevada in English translates to Snow Capped, and Las Vegas translates to The Meadows. Also, true Las Vegans will never call Las Vegas just Vegas, but instead they'll call their town by its full name, Las Vegas.

A number of mountains like Pilot Peak and Wheeler Peak in particular just south of Ely can reach heights of over 13,000 feet and to gaze at these virtually untouched mountain ranges will simply take any oberserver's breath away--it's an awesome sight at every season of the year.

The Rich History of Nevada

Although Nevada's history isn't that old, there are a number of historic places throughout the state that are relics of a bygone era. The Historic Train Station in Caliente and the Opera House in Eureka are just a couple of examples. Who ever thought about building an opera house in the middle of the desert in the late 1800s? ... well, in Eureka the Opera House from that time is still there as it has just been renovated.

Nevada's history is very interesting. There are dozens of ghost towns, especially in Northern Nevada which are a testimony to the human spirit, of men and women with a vision, and the determination to succeed in rigid terrain and harsh environments.

Their stories inspire. The natural growth of the high desert is slowly devouring most of the remaining ruins of Metropolis, which once was a prosperous town in the Northern Nevada desert near Wells in the 1920s.
 

Nevada's Business Climate

The business climate in Nevada is friendly and Nevada welcomes new businesses. While currently most of the industry is still service oriented, more and more companies, including eco-friendly manufacturing and assembly plants, are looking to Nevada as their new home base. Nevada has No Corporate Income Tax, No Personal Income Tax, No Unitary Tax, No Inventory Tax, and also there's only a limited Nevada estate tax related to the federal estate tax collection.

With an average annual construction of approx. 10-14 new schools in Las Vegas, and with over 250,000 students in the Clark County School district, as well as a large number of highly qualified and skilled immigrant workers from Europe, Asia and many other parts of the world, the pool of qualified workers is ever expanding. The unemployment rate is very low in Southern Nevada, even though about 8,000 people move to the Las Vegas valley every month.

A few years ago, Seattle-based Amazon.com established a major distribution center in northwestern Nevada near Reno.

Aside from Las Vegas and Henderson in Southern Nevada, which have been the fastest-growing cities in America for many years now, there are a number of prosperous smaller towns like Mesquite and Laughlin (together with Bullhead City, AZ) which are growing rapidly and many more towns like Reno, Carson City, Primm, Pahrump, Logandale, Ely, Elko, Jackpot and West Wendover which offer lots of opportunities and growth potential.

Currently, in Northern Nevada (Elko County, Humboldt County, Eureka County, White Pine County and Lander County) land is vanishing fast as it is being bought up by companies and private investors, although a few years ago, over a million acres were for sale. And while bare land in these areas is still very affordable, real estate prices have been sharply on the increase recently, quadrupling in many areas since 2003.

Southern Nevada around Las Vegas and Henderson has much more expensive real estate as land has become a rare commodity. With Las Vegas growing south along I-15 toward Primm (Nevada/California stateline) with the areas of Sloan and Jean in between, this approx. 35-mile stretch continues to offer numerous land development opportunities for some decades to come. In 2007, MGM-Mirage began developing the area around Jean with new residential and commercial construction. Going north on I-15 a 85-mile stretch from Las Vegas toward Mesquite (Nevada/Arizona/Utah stateline), still offers many real estate development opportunities, although prices in this particular area are also sharply on the increase.

In Northern Nevada, areas around Reno/Lake Tahoe/Carson City offer also plenty of opportunities. Because of the influx of Californians moving to the beautiful Lake Tahoe area including Genoa, the limited availability of properties around Lake Tahoe has produced extremely strong price increases over the last decade. But only a few miles away in nearby towns like Carson City (State Capitol) and Reno housing is a bit more affordable, although real estate prices have gone through the roof in these particular areas too.

Another area that is rapidly growing with lots of potential is West Wendover in northeastern Nevada at the Nevada/Utah stateline near the great Salt Lake. The hotel-casino properties in West Wendover offer over 2,000 rooms. There are many land development opportunities in this area and Salt Lake City is not too far away which offers yet another pool of a potential labor force, a fast-growing consumer base and an ever expanding marketplace. While land is still inexpensive there, especially in comparison to other parts of the country, real estate prices have seen a sharp upturn over the past few years.

Las Vegas offers a variety of great homes (home prices in Las Vegas have increased by approx. 200% from 2000 to 2005; ... but there has been a significant cooling off period in 2006-2007 as some homebuilders have already undertaken major price reductions. We think that due to a gigantic inventory surplus of new and existing homes, home prices should continue to fall dramatically in Las Vegas in the coming months and a bottom might be reached by approx. Dec. 2007 or more likely in Q1/2008).
