The Southern Nevada Real Estate Show

Regana Kooman-Henry explain how Southern Nevada buyers and sellers make informed real estate decisions by weighing their personal finances, goals, property conditions, and current market data. She begins with market timing, where she shows how a buyer's market gives buyers more choices, more time for inspections, and stronger negotiating power over price, closing costs, repairs, and other terms. She also explains why waiting for lower mortgage rates or prices often creates more competition and higher prices, since no one predicts market movements with certainty, and she encourages listeners to focus on whether a specific property makes financial sense today rather than rely on national headlines or forecasts. Regana then turns to moving decisions, where homeowners with equity consider moving up, downsizing, reducing maintenance, relocating closer to family, or changing communities, even when they hold a favorable existing mortgage rate. For sellers, a buyer's market demands accurate pricing, strong presentation, professional marketing, and a strategy suited to current conditions. Finally, she urges both buyers and sellers to calculate their payment, financing, taxes, insurance, HOA costs, selling expenses, net proceeds, and purchasing power before they decide, so every move rests on real numbers instead of guesswork.

Regana Kooman-Henry, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Premier Realty, hosts a show discussing home buying options with Kirsi Mbacke from the Loan Depot. Mbacke explains that down payment assistance (DPA) programs can help buyers with little savings, often in the form of grants or second loans. She clarifies that traditional mortgages cover the bulk of the home purchase, while DPA covers upfront costs. Mbacke also discusses the misconception that a 20% down payment is required, noting that some programs offer zero down. She addresses qualifying for a mortgage as a self-employed individual, the use of tip income for mortgage qualification, and the importance of pre-qualifying with a lender before house hunting.

Regana Kooman-Henry, a real estate professional with over 30 years of experience in Southern Nevada, hosts a show aimed at educating listeners about the real estate market. She emphasizes that waiting for the "perfect time" to buy or sell is a mistake, as life continues to happen regardless. Regana advises sellers to conduct professional home inspections before listing to avoid surprises and to price homes correctly to attract buyers. For buyers, she suggests they may have more negotiating power now than in the past. She offers her expertise in various scenarios, including inherited properties, divorces, and relocations, and stresses the importance of strategy and communication in real estate transactions.

Sellers still hold significant equity, making it a good time to downsize or upsize. In May 2026, 2,066 single-family homes sold with a median price of $490,000, and 58.2% went under contract in 30 days or less. Condos and townhouses saw a median price of $295,000, with 47.2% selling within 30 days. Regana emphasized the importance of professional representation and long-term investment strategies.

Regana also shares the latest Southern Nevada real estate market stats for February, covering median prices and market movement for both single-family homes and condos/townhomes across the region. 

Regana Kooman-Henry and Kirsi Mbacke discuss reverse mortgages on the Southern Nevada Real Estate Show. They clarify misconceptions, such as the bank taking the house or it being only for desperate situations. Reverse mortgages, specifically Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM), allow homeowners 62 and older to access home equity without monthly payments, maintaining ownership and responsibility for property taxes and insurance. They highlight benefits like eliminating monthly mortgage payments, freeing up cash, and providing flexibility for retirees. Real-life examples include refinancing to reduce expenses and purchasing a home without a monthly payment. Contact information for further inquiries is provided.
