A Homeowner’s Net Worth is 45x Greater Than a Renter’s!
Every three years, the Federal Reserve conducts a Survey of Consumer Finances in which they collect data across all economic and social groups.

Whether you are considering the purchase of your first home or trading up to the home your family frequently fantasizes about, there are three crucial questions you must know the answer to:

What is the minimum down payment required to purchase a home?

What is the minimum FICO score …

The most recent Housing Pulse Survey released by the National Association of Realtors revealed that the two major reasons Americans prefer owning their own home instead of renting are:

They want the opportunity to build equity.
They want a stable and safe environment.

New Mexico is home to some breathtaking destinations, and summer is the perfect time to hit to road and explore. Here are a few of my favorite places to fall in love with; and they are either in Santa Fe or only a hop, skip, and a jump from the city.

Have you ever dreamed of the RANCH life? If so, we’ve found it…stunning views, wonderful facilities, and a historic home.

2221 Hwy 21 – Miami, NM 

This 1910 adobe homestead has been extensively remodeled while still retaining its original charm.

When you decide to sell your home one of the first things you think of is “how much money can I get?” Many sellers in Santa Fe think that selling their home on their own will do away with an agent’s commission and thus pocket them more money.

This week I had the pleasure of listing a GORGEOUS view lot in the Monte Sereno Community in NW Santa Fe. It has views for days and one can easily imagine themselves living there. It got me thinking about smart ways to build, and I found this wonderful article addressing new home construction.

Located on one of the most desirable and famous street in Santa Fe, this beautiful adobe home is hard to describe…. it is like stepping back in time.The owner has painstaking restored the home to its original historic condition.

Open houses are a great way to gather quite a bit of information about a home in a relatively short amount of time.  Most often the listing agent is present and is ready and willing to answer all of your questions that you may have about a home.

In many markets across the country, including Santa Fe, the amount of buyers searching for their dream home greatly outnumbers the amount of homes for sale. This has led to a competitive marketplace where buyers often need to stand out.
