My pleasure!!

Thanks Christine!

Glad you enjoy it!

Thanks David I appreciate that!

Glad you like it, thank you.

Thanks Pat, likewise!

Thank you Doc, glad you like it!

Good news is the house is North-South facing so sun intrusion isn’t an issue, that with double panel glass and solar panels will improve energy efficiency.

🤡🤡

Glad you liked it!

Isn’t it?!

Thank you ✌️🏼

I agree!

It's certainly unique!

I think so too, thanks for checking it out.

One of my favorites as well!

Yes 👍🏼

I love this place too!

You never know! ;)

Thank you!

Me too!

It was for sale for 2.9M in 2019. SOLD for 3.8M in 2020. And since then it's been listed several times by different brokers with the latest list price of 4.29M.

As long as the espresso machine is working I’ll probably be fine :)

@@Chaorealestate Then for your sake, I hope it works well and you do well.

@@hemaccabe4292 Thanks... all kidding aside, the minimalistic finish of this kitchen might give the impression that is "all show no go" but it is well equipped for any homeowner to prepare a multi-course meal for their family or guests.

@@Chaorealestate My opinion doesn't really matter. I'm not in the market for this home. Just curious enough to watch your video. I'm sure all the features on the kitchen are functional.

It’s awaiting a very specific buyer, but you’re right, if it was inside the ridges it would’ve been sold two months ago

Thanks for your sub!

Appreciate your feedback!

Agreed! The kitchen is pretty cool tho I think, but ya I would prefer if it was not black for myself.

It’s definitely a bold choice going with the black, but it could be a great backdrop if you dress it up with some nice kitchenware and furnishing

I love the black kitchen and bathroom, wish the whole house was like that, im sick of white drywalls everywhere

@@arslanakakamina Normally with black interior it would make the livingspace feel confined, but with these oversized windows in the halls and each common area maximizing natural light, that wouldn't be an issue.

I'm not even from Vegas and just stumbled in this video and just seeing the drone of the surrounding area already gave my spider senses a tingle to question the area. It just doesnt fit in (this house) with the other homes and area. It's like selling a ferrari or bugati on a used car lot full of $10-20K toyota honda ford, etc. And yes I agree, its a beautiful home, like artwork, but doesnt feel like a home. Staging MIGHT change that. Sterile was a good word you used. I feel minimalist and futuristic type homes like this do need to be staged, because its not common for most to see. The typical contemporary style homes can get away without staging because people can already imagine it in their heads. Jonathan really needs to be on top of his game to try and sell this home. I've seen a lot of 4.5 mil homes in vegas I rather have than this thats for sure in nicer areas. This home is very niche and will need to find a specific type of person who would bite on it.

Great suggestion Jeff! To answer your question, luxury homes that are vacant typically shows better when professionally staged, this home is no exception. In fact, it’s been suggested to the owner and is being considered. Traditional staging is effective, but also very costly, so some owners may not necessarily want to cough up the big bucks, even if the realtor splits the cost. Not saying this is the case, but since you’re curious thought I’d shed some light on how staging works behind the scenes.

Moi, great observation. Just to give you some perspective, homes in that neighborhood (not counting these custom homes) has an average sales price of 700-800K; that’s 200-300K above an average home in Las Vegas. But the contrast of this type of home right next to it makes the other homes look inferior. In addition to the homes itself, the other value is the land they sit on. Land is becoming more valuable in Las Vegas because we’re landlocked. And it helps that the main Las Vegas attraction is just 10 minutes away.

@@Chaorealestate great video-and thank you for the reply. Awesome stuff and I totally understand your explanation of how sellers might not fully understand that sometimes it requires spending money to make money. I really hope that this seller does consider it-as I can tell you that I feel like not having it staged is really creating a lot of lost opportunity. For example-that enclave where the bed would go in the primary bedroom could be a dramatic moment for a potential buyer if they saw a lovely bed that fits into that scheme. Also-the wonderful indoor/outdoor dynamic that is created by those custom pocket doors would also be one of those breathtaking moments for potential buyers with proper staging. In any case-maybe the input here in the comments could be shown to the seller to perhaps motivate some potential staging. I really think it would help it garner more attention and potential buyers.

@@jeffv3296 Great stuff! I will use your example in my next conversation with them. Thank you!

Yeah, it’s one of those changes that occurred because some people got offended by the term.

I think majority of the people are fine with it honestly

Or secondary / vacation homeowners! But 10 450K homes would make a great investment for cash flow too ;)

Agree

@@avilesandres It is a nice structure (it should be for $4.5mil) but an over-the-top design in what looks like a suburban gated community. And the photographer is talented but more of a marketing genius than a "master" photographer. Also, he owns Jewel Homes and their site is filled with CGI design treatments that are far from restrained.

@@jimjimgl3 I don't get having a black/dark kitchen 🤨

@@jimjimgl3 Plus, the home is NOT worth it. Look online for what you can get, NEW! for that amount or less in Las Vegas! Plus, the area is SKETCHY and UGLY! I wouldn't walk my dog around the block!

Proper use of decor and furnishing could effectively change the vibe, depending on what the new owner would prefer.

jonathanchao.lasvegassir.com/eng/sales/detail/324-l-889-m7f9dm/4195-badura-ave-las-vegas-nv-89118 Here’s the link to the listing. Let me know if you’re interested in touring this place!

That was my point to Mr. Chao, this was my dream house, and my realtor did NOT inform me it was in a type of rural preservation area where most homes are 500k with roosters and broken cars on cylinders, and NO ONE walking around. I was so angry, it was so scary and ugly, and then THIS house! The TARGET! I would not let my kids walk the dog in Front of the house. But I thought for 2.9 and the view it might be worth it-- but "Supposedly," it was "bought," and now it's 4.5! My husband and I laughed for like an hour!

I agree that there’s more artistic value than practicality, most things deemed “luxury” tend to share that commonality. As for the neighborhood, being in the rural preservation area, it attracts certain types of residents. From what I’ve gathered from the owner and the neighbors everybody keeps to themselves for the most part, but also very hospitable amongst the neighbors. Works for some, not for all.

@@Chaorealestate I think you are AWESOME - I just feel this is a MORE pertinent issue than my REALTOR led me to believe, and it was mentioned in passing. And I think it just feels like a mistake in that area... is like one Mercedes in a parking lot SEA of 1990's Toyotas! What car is the thief going to target?

@@thedolphinc Mercedes are a lot harder to steal than Toyotas ;) All kidding aside, I'd love to offer you a revisit of the area and spend a little more time exploring the neighborhood and address some of those concerns. You can reach me at jonathan@chaorealestate.com.

Blue Heron is a great builder that offers semi to full custom homes with similar style in smaller sizes.

Black Jack Road 666

4195 Badura Avenue

This was my dream home all during the pandemic, went to see it in October, and it's in a SCARY-looking neighborhood, ugly, empty, ugh! YUK! What a SHAME! Also, it's NOT worth more than about 1.4 to 2.2 million - 4.5 is a JOKE!

Non-gated, rural preservation area. I encourage you to checkout the Google Maps street view to get a feel of the area. The average sales price in that neighborhood (not counting the Jewel Homes) is at $760,000. The average sales price of a single family home in Las Vegas is $525,000. Just to give you perspective.

@@Chaorealestate Wow, you're like the Enes of Las Vegas! Thank you for being so giving and sharing all this information! Wish you tons of luck, and, hmmm, I might be looking for a new realtor. I feel blind!

Good point. I’m fact I see the minimalism as a primary design element and the Japanese as a secondary on this Kyoto model

Welcome to Vegas lol

It can appear that way especially when it’s vacant. With tasteful decorations and furnishing, it can definitely change the vibe of this place.

Wow, tell me how you really feel lol! As for the sales history, it was for sale for 2.9M in 2019. SOLD for 3.8M in 2020. And since then it's been listed several times by different brokers with the latest list price of 4.29M. Here's the thing, the rural preservation area isn't for everyone, and like any community that is absent of an HOA, the standards can be hard to set. The Jewel homes aren't like anything else in the area, but I do see the pride of ownership in most of these neighboring homes. Institutional buyers wouldn't touch this type of home because they need consistency for better ROI. This is a unique property fit for a very specific buyer, and I don't think it'll have any problem selling given the proximity to all the current and future main attractions.

@@Chaorealestate Thank you for your reply! It was my "DREAM HOME," I worked so hard on my business to get it and was so excited! However, my realtor NEVER mentioned it was in a "Rural Preservation Neighborhoods" -- I just learned that NOW, FROM YOU! And let me tell you, on paper, the idea of "Rural Preservation Neighborhoods" seems reasonable. But in reality, my 2.9 million dollar home (NOW a ridiculous 4.5) seemed to be Bourgeoisie and "privileged" for the area, and for me to feel SAFE! Do you genuinely believe ANYONE coming out of that house would let their children walk their dog? NO WAY!

I wish I did ;)

go $250k here comes

some Japanese artwork and decors could certainly enhance the vibe
