Las Vegas is seeing an influx of retirees looking for a temperate climate. With a median home price of $300,000, it’s no wonder – retirees moving here from California can afford to downsize here. According to the recent United Van Lines National Movers Study, 29% of people moving to Nevada are coming for retirement-related reasons. New Mexico topped the list.

I was shocked to see that the Notre Dame Cathedral did not have property insurance. This weighs on my mind as a homeowner who nearly lost a home to a fire. After this and a high-speed chase that totaled my car, I swear by replacement value coverage for homes and gap insurance for cars. We never expect these things to happen to us, and always question why we are paying for insurance we never use. I’m a big believer now, and encourage you to check your coverage.

Speaking of Las Vegas growth, Clark County was the second fastest growing county in 2018. And speaking of Clark County – kudos to Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom for bringing the County’s weight to bear on dilapidated properties. Eastsiders are fuming, having been largely left behind as the area has recovered from the recession. Dilapidated buildings abound as out-of-state landlords ignore their holdings and collect rents without maintaining the buildings. However, I urge the Commission to demand the same of vacant buildings that are a blight on this area. Targeting occupied properties makes sense; so does targeting buildings that attract squatters and give the area a neglected appearance.
