Understanding Real Property in Las Vegas: A Guide for Homebuyers and Sellers
As a seasoned Las Vegas real estate professional, Ben Kessous understands the intricacies of real property. This guide provides a clear understanding of what real property encompasses, especially crucial for anyone navigating the Las Vegas residential real estate market.
What is Real Property?
Real property, in simple terms, refers to the land and everything permanently attached to it. This includes:
- The land itself
- Any improvements to the land, such as houses, buildings, roads, and utilities.
- Natural resources like minerals, crops, and water rights (when applicable).
- The bundle of rights associated with ownership: the right to possess, use, enjoy, exclude others, and transfer the property.
For example, a single-family home in Summerlin, Las Vegas, along with its landscaping, attached garage, and any built-in features, constitutes real property. Learn more about property rights and ownership from the Clark County Assessor’s Office.
What Isn’t Considered Real Property?
It’s equally important to understand what is not considered real property in real estate transactions:
- Personal Property: Items that are easily movable, such as furniture, appliances (unless built-in), and vehicles. These are typically not included in the sale of a home unless specifically negotiated.
- Intangible Property: Property without a physical form, such as patents, copyrights, or trademarks.
In Las Vegas, when you buy a home, you’re primarily acquiring the real property – the land, the structure, and its permanent fixtures. Personal property is usually handled separately.
