“I was gambling in Las Vegas; I took a little risk. Send lawyers, guns, and money, Dad, get me out of this!” Hopefully, no one heading to LV tomorrow or this weekend runs into that kind of trouble.

Homeowners in Las Vegas are not typically big gamblers, unless you consider their housing values which, historically, are subject to big swings. Home prices in Southern Nevada have edged slightly lower in the last year, as the number of properties on the market continued to climb, “signaling a cooling but stabilizing housing market.” Las Vegas has its share of commercial buildings… Do the office markets and residential markets correlate?

In New York, a building was just purchased for $25 million for conversion to residential. Nothing is constant but change.
