1. Panorama Towers Luxury Condo Sold For Record Price per Sq Ft
thelasvegasluxuryhomepro.com /panorama-towers-luxury-condo-sold-record-price-per-sq-f t/
Panorama Towers is one of our most popular high rise
properties. Over the past year, we have recorded 62 sales in
the MLS at this location. The price per square foot varies
considerably in this building. Units with Strip views and on
higher floors, naturally fetch a higher price than those on lower
floors and with Mountain views.
Only f our unit s at Panorama have sold for more than $300
per square foot this year. In February, unit 3300 in Tower 1
closed at $2.3Million or a record $470/sf. This was a
penthouse suite with 4894 sf of living space, 3 bedrooms, 3.5
baths plus den with tons of upgrades and incredible views. A
more typical condo, unit 2900 in building 2 offered 2372 sf with
2 beds/2.5 baths. This one was an end unit that closed for
$750K or $316/sf on 2/21/13.

For lower floors, unit 1205 in Tower 2 has set a new record price per square f oot . We sold it for
$309/sq ft ($375K) on 11/22/13. The sellers had originally paid
$225K for the 2 bed/2 bath plus den condo with Strip views in
2011. They purchased it as a short sale with plain white walls
and dingy carpet. They promptly hired local designer,
Angeles Scorsetti of Scorsetti Design to transform the condo
into a stylish second home. Custom paint and engineered
wood floors provided the base for the look. Tile backsplash in
the kitchen and bathrooms added color. Swarovski crystal
chandeliers were added to the den and living room.
Swarovski light fixtures were also added to the kitchen and
bathrooms. The den was converted into an elegant bar with a
custom wall that was handmade with velvet padding and
Swarovski crystals. The furnishings were contemporary,
comfortable and luxurious.

This was obviously not your typical condo at Panorama
Towers. At the time we listed the condo on 7/25/13, another condo with a similar plan was available. Our closest
competition was unit 2205 in Tower 1. While this condo wasn’t as highly upgraded, it was nicely done and on a higher
floor. Those sellers had paid $266,729 for that one back in April. They had cleaned it up and furnished it nicely. Unit
2205 was listed at $399K when our sellers were first considering where we should price their unit. The price on 2205
quickly dropped to $379K, $369K and finally $349K on 7/18. It went into contract on 8/5 and closed for $338,300 on
9/10/13.
We went ahead and listed unit 1205 for $400K, unfurnished.

Our sellers knew we were pricing high for the current market
but we felt the upgrades deserved a better price. We also felt
the high rise market was showing signs of improving with fewer
distress sales and declining inventory.
We received of f ers f airly quickly. Unfortunately, the earlier
offers were lower than the sellers would accept, although they
did counter each offer. They loved the condo and did not
need to sell. Their only motivation for selling was they had
discovered they like Vegas and want to buy a larger home in a
golf course community.
In November we finally got the right offer. The initial offer was
B a r wi th cu s to m b u i l t wa l l fe a tu r i n g h a n d -s ti tch e d S wa r o vs ki
lower than the seller’s bottom line, but we negotiated. Buyers
Cr ys ta l s
and sellers agreed to $375K for the condo without furnishings
AND a separate bill of sale for the furnishings for $20K cash.
Ironically, the day after we went into contract we received a back- up offer that was comparable. Our sellers enjoyed
knowing that if the first buyer had trouble with their financing, we had a second buyer ready to go with cash.
Granted, this condo was highly upgraded but we like to think it was well marketed and well negotiated. We
also see this as a confirmation of our belief that the Las Vegas
high rise market is improving. Only two other condos have
sold for a higher price per square foot at Panorama Towers
over the past year. This is the highest price paid over the
past year for a condo below the 28th floor at Panorama
Towers.
For units below the 20th floor the record for highest price per sq
ft was $292/sf for #1012 in Tower 1. That condo was an end
unit with both Strip and Mountain views. It offered 1406 sf with 2
beds and 2 baths. The condo sold for $410K on 10/9/13.
Between the 20th and 28th floor, the highest price paid was
unit 2007 which sold for $485K or $296/sf on 6/3/13.

There are currently 35 luxury condos f or sale at Panorama
Towers. That’s only a six month supply of inventory. Lowest
price on the current listings is only $181/sf for unit 1806 in Tower 1. Unfortunately, this one doesn’t have the Strip views,
but what a bargain for 2347 sf at $424K. Lowest price for a Strip view unit is #503 in Tower 1. It features 2 beds/2 baths
in 1084 sf for $238K or $220/sf. It’s a low floor, but still has the view.
