Red Rock Country Club Golf Course Homes For Sale

It’s such a simple little detail that goes into entering a Golf course Home for sale on the Las Vegas MLS that I’m surprised by how often it gets left out in the listing details.

I was reminded of this today after pulling up a search for Homes on the Golf Course for Red Rock Country Club homes for sale for one of our buyers.

A very important Requirement: On the Golf Course.

The beauty of the Las Vegas MLS is the sheer number of options we have to search for particular must haves in a particular community to help narrow down the number of homes available for sale. Today, there are 99 homes currently available for sale in Red Rock Country Club. Obviously, this gets narrowed down as we add the simple criteria such as price, square footage, bedrooms, pool or no pool, etc..

And, for those of us that have actual experience in selling golf course homes in Las Vegas, we know about entering the “Golf Course Frontage” under lot description. We also know the impact that golf course frontage has on prices and premiums to expect — and also mistakes that are easy to make if you don’t understand this in helping to determine a fair market value for homes in golf course communities.

As stated, there are currently 99 homes for sale in Red Rock Country Club. Enter ”Golf Course Frontage” under Lot Description on our Las Vegas MLS search and it narrows it down to 47 Homes in Red Rock Country Club for Sale. Enter the rest of the criteria for our buyer and it narrows it down even further.

In our case and the price range our buyer is in along with other criteria… it narrows it down too much. Using “Golf Course Frontage” in the description came up with 5 results. As normal, I took the Golf Course Frontage description out to come up with more results and then went through each listing individually. This resulted in 10 that are actually on the golf course for sale that meet all of the other criteria.

I generally have to do this anytime I’m pinpointing a golf course community in Las Vegas and have been for years. We expect it but it really points out something else of concern when 50% of the properties available for sale on the golf course in Red Rock Country Club that meet all of the other criteria may not have been sent over for something that only takes a half second to enter.

We don’t want to waste a buyer’s time sending over properties that don’t meet their criteria so we have to go through individual listings to make sure we are not missing any potential deals. If you have a golf course home for sale in Las Vegas, just make sure that this important little detail is not overlooked because other agents might not be taking the time to go through each and every listing.

If I did not take the extra time for a problem that I know that exists to see if listings are indeed on the golf course – my buyer would only be looking at five of them right now instead of the 10 I sent over.

For sellers, this could be resulting in less showings and eventually a lower sales price.

(Maybe I should just have kept quiet about this for our buyers but something tells me that potential sellers reading this are going to pick the right agents to sell their Las Vegas golf course homes in the first place. )
